This is a list of debut albums from 2007-2009 that I believe are the first from bands that will leave a legacy of great albums in their wake. It's a short list, and I chose 2007 because I wanted to pick bands that have had at most only 1 album since the debut.

1.In Mourning - Shrouded Divine

2.Irminsul - Irminsul

3.Griftegård - Solemn, Sacred, Severe

4.Kalisia - Cybion

Not nessecary my current favourites, but these are the albums that had a great impact on me or had opened up new horizons in different sub-genres. Most of these would be pretty recent and mainstream but I only started listening to Metal in 2007 after all. They are in chronological order of which I listened to them through these few years.

1.Within Temptation - The Heart Of Everything

2.Metallica - Ride The Lightning

3.Nightwish - Dark Passion Play

4.To-Mera - Transcendental

5.Kamelot - Ghost Opera

These are 10 albums that really blew me away and either broke down all of my notions of what I though a metal album could sound like, or really opened my eyes to new sub-genres. You'll notice most albums are from after 2006, that's because it wasn't really until 2007 or so that I started listening to metal.

1.Between The Buried And Me - Colors

2.The Ocean - Precambrian

3.Warning - Watching From A Distance

4.Mirrorthrone - Gangrene

5.Equilibrium - Sagas
