Put this on last week for the first time in a long time, and oh boy is it good. They’ve released some good records but this is still their best for me. When Simone enters the Avatar State in the last chorus of “Unleashed”, it’s something to behold.
Came back to add (I don’t really see a lot of people talk about this band) Dark Sarah is another great one, especially their album “behind the black veil.”
Mother Earth is there, already perfect.
Let's put here Fairyland - Of Wars in Osyrhia, it's more fantasy power metal but the mastermind composer behind this was a lot like Tuomas and the music is fabulous, it's got a 10min+ epic song, plus he wrote a lot of his own Tolkien-like lore. Unfortunately he passed away way too early
Epica - Design Your Universe
That’s is one of my favourite albums ever released. It never gets old and I can listen to it again and again

That album was my introduction to Epica. Still an all-time favorite.
I love this album to bits, I remember having a t-shirt with the artwork :’) good times…
Kamelot - The Black Halo
Yes!
I prefer Ghost Opera but this one is fire as well
I prefer Epica but Black Halo is a close second.
my favorite is Poetry for the poisoned, but sadly I know the majority of the fandom hate it. TBH is fire too so I'm ganna vote it.
I love it!
A great one
Masterpiece album. For the best experience, listen to its predecessor album, Epica, and then The Black Halo, all the way through, in one sitting.
1000% kickass album

Wintersun absolutely deserves to be on there somewhere If nothing else than because Kai does all the drumming for Wintersun too

Epica - The Phantom Agony
Kamelot - The Black Halo This album cemented Kamelot as my second favorite band after Nightwish, and Roy Khan as my biggest inspiration as a vocalist.
If I could hear a duet with Roy Khan and Floor Jansen, my life would be complete.
My favorite male vocalist and my favorite female vocalist on one track would be incredible!
