Best Metal Album Since 1990

[Sharp Dressed Man]

Perhaps my favorite actual metal album:

While Heaven Wept-Vast Oceans Lachrymose (2009)

I'll have to think long and hard to pick just one, but until then, I just had to give props for this one being mentioned. It's definitely up there among my personal favourite metal albums.... well, ever! Everything else they've released is excellent as well!

 

[Soot and Stars]

Awesome! I don't fit into the metal fanbase. I'm fine with heavy music but a lot of it is emotionally stagnant for me. The orchestration and big epic opuses that the band does blending all the different metal genres just feels larger than life and resonates with me!

 

[That 70s Guy]

 

[Magic]

Giving this thread a gentle bump

Let me put My 2 cents in......

Can I give a mention to Pantera - Vulgar Display of Power (1992)

 

[DragonQuest3]

In no specific order I'd say these are the best 9.

Judas priest - Painkiller
Bathory - Hammerheart
Atheist - Unquestionable presence
Kreator - Coma of souls
Voivod - The outer limits
Black Sabbath - Dehuminizer
Sabbat - The Dwelling
Overkill - Ironbound
Mekong Delta - Dances of death
