2. Metallica "Death Magnetic"
3. Volbeat "Guitar Gangsters and Cadillac Blood"
4. Black Stone Cherry "Folklore & Superstition"
5. Evergrey "Torn" (this one needs some explaining...haven´t heard many songs from the album, haven´t bought many albums this year, but had to write something...)

How about you tirlith?

2. Opeth - Watershed
3. Amon Amarth - Twilight Of The Thundergod
4. Bloodbath - The Fathomless Mastery
5. Metallica - Death Magnetic (don't know why I chose this album, actually)

[tirlith]

2 Thyrfing - Hels Vite
3 Kampfar - Heimgang
4 Heidevolk - Walhalla Wacht
5 Amon Amarth - Twilight of the Thunder God

I think it was in that order anyway. ;D Really good albums all of them.

2 Thyrfing - Hels Vite

Thyrfing, really?? I have all of their albums since Urkraft, but this one, I have to admit, really sucks! I don't know if it has anything to do with their new singer, but I think all the charm of Thyrfing has totally gone away!

The new album from Ásmegin is really good, you all should give it a listen, indeed!

Will do!

I really like Hels vite. It's not as good as Vansinnesvisor, but still great. I like the new singer, so maybe that's the problem for you as you said.
I don't understand how you can think it sucks though, take "Tre Vintrar, Två solar" for example, really great song, I'm always going around and singing it in my head.

[The Black Knight]

It's better than I ever thought it would be.
Yet 'Vansinnesvisor' is their best album ever, methinks.

Agree, 90%, but was Jag Spår Fördärv also on it, it would be 100%

@ jakob_hasse:

True. Very very true!

2. ACDC - Black Ice
3. Metallica - Death Magnetic
4. Judas Priest - Nostradamus
5. Alice Cooper - Along Came a Spider

3. Metallica - Death Magnetic
4. Judas Priest - Nostradamus
5. Alice Cooper - Along Came a Spider

Just big names, and tiny Falconer on top? Feels kind of cool to see them compete with the big ones for someones attention.

Yes, only big names. I am kind of "old school". Perhaps it's an age thing. Hehe.
Falconer might be tiny compared to the dinosaurs in my list but they sure know how to rock'n'roll
