For the benefit of my posterity I've diceded to make a list of my favorite albums, most of which are metal. Amorphis - Tales From The Thousand LakesThis album was released in the early 90's and I quite clearly remember listening to it as a child and it is responsible for me getting into real metal with growling vocals. Belive it or not but in the not so distant past (like, Junior High) I was not a big fan of distorted vocals. I was okay with it, but when it came time to spend my own money on CD's I didn't buy them. Then came Tales From The Thousand Lakes and I was hooked! The album is filled with mostly slower to mid range tempo, which is quite unusual for a non-doom metal band, but what sets it and Amorphis apart is that the lyrics are actually taken from old Finnish oral dradition of songs, stories, and poetry called the Kalevala. Dream Theater - Images And WordsWho are the best progressive metal band in the world? Dream Theater of course. Released in 1992 and arriving in my home in 1993 I can remember sining the words to Pull Me Under as a 4 year old with my father. Truley amazing, you'll have to listen to it to really get it. I'll update later, got to go.
