I could go on and on...that's what I could think of off the top of my head.

I'm getting into Melodic Metal/Rock and shifting back to Traditional Metal and Thrash so that list could have some updates in 6 months.

Warrior-The Code of Life
Winters Bane-Redivivus
Municipal Waste-The Art of Partying
Ultimatum-Into the Pit
Symphorce-Become Death
Beyond Fear-s/t
Cellador-Enter Deception

opeth - ghost reveries sits in the top spot at the moment for me although i feel it may have stiff competition from metallica and opeth themselves

nightwish may also make a bid for top spot

Good list Thrasher....many of those could have been on my list as well!

So far for me (in order):

1. Seven Days In November - Oversoul
2. Psycho Psycho - Nasty Savage
3. Brave New World - Iron Maiden
4. Infinity Divine - Pagan's Mind

I realy think thats a killer album too. One of my fave DORO albums ever(or maybe my fave??? dont know at the moment ).
KILLING GROUND by SAXON is also a great release.

KREATOR - Violent Revolution '01

This one's easy for me...Primal Fear "New Religion" (2007)

Other notables:

Angel Dust - Enlighten The Darkness (2000)
Rob Rock - Holy Hell (2005)
Theocracy - s/t (2003)
Primal Fear - Seven Seals (2005)
Beautiful Sin - The Unexpected (2006)
Firewind - Between Heaven and Hell (2001)
Sabaton - Attero Dominatus (2006)

There are loads more that I really like, but these would be the "cream of the crop" for me.
