    Enslaved - Eld
    Dissection - Storm of The Lights Bane
    Dawn - Slaughtersun

    To/Die/For - All Eternity
    Emperor - In The Nightside Eclipse
    Tiamat - Wildhoney

    You should be able to find all these albums except Dawn on itunes and amazon if you want to buy the cds.

    You probably won'nt get all those albums in the likes of HMV unfortunatly. You can try, but amazon, play & cdwow are much better for getting hard to get albums.

    I'd recommend Are You Dead Yet by Children Of Bodom (more accessible imo)
    Sonata Artica, either Unia or Reckoning Night
    Amon Amarth, The Fate of Norns
    Turisas, The Varangian Way
    In Flames, Colony

    If you dont mind/like black metal
    Satyricon, Now Diabolical
    Emperor, In The Nightside Eclipse
    Dimmu Borgir, Enthrone Darkness Triumphant
    and yes Carnal Forge, specifically Testify for my Victims

    Ecliptica is a far better album than Unia imho. That said, both are worth a listen :)
