Fine choices! I was tempted to include Anathema but felt it might not be as heavy as the rest in the poll. (On a side note, my vote goes to Katatonia)


Nice pick! My second favourite on here. Maybe one day I'll get to it, but I have this old box set called The Black Sessions by Katatonia I hope one day to get to. And I agree with your reason for not including Anathema when your limited to ten. Just wanted to mention it.

That's not enough reason. An album getting old does not instantly mean it is outdated. 
With this idea, someone would think music, fiction and movies from the past are not worthy at all.

^^ well, a lot of music from as long ago as the turn of the century can sound like you can pinpoint the era it was made... some music can sound more contemporary. I haven't heard either Ark album in a few years now, but I wouldn't be surprised by this observation partly because it was so distinct; didn't sound quite like anything else?

One of my favorites as well, a shame the band was so short-lived. 

Listening to it now ... it has aged really well, does not sound dated at all. Preferable to comparable contemporary acts like Sons of Apollo or Whom Gods Destroy IMHO. Simply feels more inspired.

Stunningly good album, Gents...

The only album I currently know in the poll is Opeth's Blackwater Park, but I'm not a fan of the honey monster vocals, so it's a Hypothetical vote for Threshold instead. Smile

Really good choices, I'm going with Terria instead of Blackwater Park, just because Ghost Reveries was even better.

But how about this gem from 2001?
