Image Winter - Into Darkness/Eternal Frost

One of the early pioneers of death doom, they blend traditional doom with Celtic Frost inspired death thrash. The lyrics depict humanity contributing to the world's destruction, abusing natural resources and slowly killing the environment so they are pretty unorthodox for this type of metal.

Awesome blackened thrash from Japan, not to be confused with the British thrash band of the same name.

Image Adramelch - Broken History

Progressive epic heavy metal. This is a concept album based on the crusades but it doesn't condone them, quite the opposite really.

Good stuff there duck, that's my favourite Emperor album, dark, melancholic and dripping with atmosphere.

Image Waylander - Reawakening Pride Once Lost

More quality Celtic black metal (it also contains a good amount of heavy metal and thrash so maybe just calling it Celtic metal is better?) from Ireland. Unfortunately this, their debut, was criminally overlooked by a lot of folk when it was released sometime back in '98, but thankfully they have a loyal fan base so they've been soldiering on for the last 11 years or so.

^ I love how Disciple of Doom always provides a little spiel about what he's listening to.
To me, it makes it so much more meaningful.

Darzamat - Solfernun' Path

Not the most original CD of the year, but I like it, the band really been through a growth process, and well, Transkarpatia and Semidevilish are not easely to overdo in therms of crappyness, so they finnaly decided to go the other way.

Gogo Polish bands :hug

Download - Volume 1 (c. 1999CE)

One of the first Metal compilations I ever bought, featuring an excellent collection of mid-late 90's Metal (With a spattering of So-Cal thrown in for good measure) and a great introducer to Roadrunner's range of artists as it stood back then! :horns
Sorry for the small image, but have ye ever tried successfully searching for an album called "Download" in todays Internet age? :tongue

Image Sabbat(Jpn) - Karmagmassacre

The latest album (well, its from 2003 but its the last one they released) and the final one with awesome guitarist Temis Osmond who's been with them since 1991. Music wise its the same good old Sabbat with skull crushing riffage and no traces of modernity anywhere.

I can't say I've heard it, but I've pretty much given up on Xasthur since arriving at the conclusion that all his stuff sounds pretty much the same.

The same goes for this one. There is one song that stands out, very catchy, but the rest is rather luck laster or something. bah!

Cradle of Filth - Nymphetamine :horns

In my opinion, an excellently dark, brooding and gothy album that's perfect for listening to during the middle of the night! (It's currently 02:30 here! :tongue)
I know that some Metalheads tend to view Cradle with a degree of distain (Possibly because of their popularity amongst baby-goths?) but personally I'll stick with them. Had it not been for some good friends getting me into From the Cradle to Enslave ten years ago, then it's possible that Id've never discovered the Immortal BAL-SAGOTH :shocked :horns :viking

The new EP from this fine Yorkshire band, they successfully blend traditional doom and NWOBHM with a Victorian occult theme running throughout the lyrics. You can listen to them here if your intrigued: http://www.myspace.com/thelampofthoth, trust me, it's bloody good stuff!
