ISAHN - After
NILE - In Their Darkened Shrines
DEFTONES - Saturday Night Wrist
BE'LAKOR - Of Breath and Bone
CRISIS - Like Sheep Led to Slaughter
I just looked at my album picks again and I'm not sure I agree with myself
They're all good, but calling them 5 definitive classics is a stretch. I guess I was just trying to make sure it would be 5 albums no one else would think to pick, while avoiding making it a bunch of obscure albums that can't at all be said to be influential or important to anyone but me and a few other people on this planet. Crisis already fails under those terms, actually. I love it, but it's not a classic in the eyes of more than 10 people, probably.
Plus I misspelled Ihsahn.
