Iluvatar Oakenshield, I liked your top 30. This is what I think of it (and please don't take any offense to any of my statements)
1 My Dying Bride - Turn loose the swans (Definitely the best)
2 Haggard - And thou shall trust... the seer (Good, talented..not my thing)
3 Empyrium - Songs of moors and misty fields (Excellent)
4 Summoning - Dol Guldor (I love this album, nearly top 30)
5 Summoning - Let mortal heroes sing your fame (I've got it, but I haven't listened to it very much yet)
6 Dissection - Storm of the lights bane (Absolute classic)
7 Dark Tranquillity - The gallery (My favourite DT album)
8 My Dying Bride - The angel and the dark river (Brilliant)
9 Enslaved - Eld (The worst Enslaved album. Crap drum sound!
10 Mithotyn - King of the distant forest (Don't like Viking metal)
11 Amon Amarth - Once sent from the golden hall (Good, but not great Death Metal
12 Abigor - Nachthymnen (from the twilight kingdom) (Fantastic, not as good as Orkblut though)
13 Satyricon - Nemsis divina (Bloody Awesome)
14 Ancient Rites - Dim carcosa (I really don't like this at all)
15 My Dying Bride - The dreadful hours (This is a great comeback album)
16 My Dying Bride - As the flower withers (The start of a very good thing)
17 Empyrium - A wintersunset (Excellent again)
18 My Dying Bride - Like gods of the sun (One of the lesser MDB albums)
19 Immortal - Blizzard beasts (By far the worst Immortal album. Battles in the North and Sons of the Northern Darkness are heaps better)
20 Satyricon - The shadowthrone (I love this album)
21 Burzum - Filosofem (Burzum..the one and only. Classic.)
22 Haggard - Awakening the centuries (Not my thing)
23 Dark Funeral - Secrets of the black arts (Good Black Metal. Great Sound)
24 Amortis - Summoned by astral fires (The first album here that I haven't heard)
25 Summoning - Minas Morgul (This is just awesome!)
26 Emperor - In the nightside eclipse (I don't need to say anything about this one!)
27 Burzum - Hvis lyset tar oss (The most atmospheric album of all time)
28 Nile - Black seeds of vengeance (Brutal, unadulterated talent)
29 Angizia - Das tagebuch der Hanna Annikin (Never heard it. What is it?)
30 In flames - The jester race (Good, but standard At the Gates is better)
I own 23 out of your top 30! Good stuff!
Aviendha.
