Top 5 Irish Metal Albums

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Not easy. I'm pretty much starting at this point too and trying to think my way out of it:

(an actually top 5 would probably be just Primordial and Mourning Beloveth albums).

[Skott Furys jizz rag]

Altar of Plagues - Mammal
Scald - Headworm
Primordial - The Gathering Wilderness
Graveyard Dirt - For Grace or Damnation
Owlcrusher - s/t

[son of the Morrigan]

Coldwar - Bloodfire Sunset
For Ruin - Ater Angelvs
Primordial - Calm Before Storm
Abbadon Imcarnate - The last Supper
Malthusian - Across Deaths

Honourable Mentions, Pedophile Priests - Cancer    (the album is Irish but the lads are Polish, other than that it could be in the top 5)
                    Atheos - The Human Burden

[Don Gately]

Primordial- The Gathering Wilderness
Mourning Beloveth - Formless
Altar of Plagues - Teethed Glory
Arcane Sun st
U2 the Joshua tree

[Anvil]

I see what you did there         

[The Butcher]

At least he didn't stick it beside  The Last Supper,we would have lost our way entirely

[jpm4]

Primordial - To the Nameless Dead
Primordial - Exile Amongst the Ruins
Darkest Era - The Last Caress of Light
Mourning Beloveth - Rust and Bone
Old Season - Archaic Creation

[The Butcher]

Going to go by releases myself, thinking of ones I've listened to the most from the past 25 years ->

Primordial - To The Nameless Dead
Slidhr - Deluge
Old Season - Volume One (The Claw is one of the first songs I can remember when first diving into Irish Metal and what a song!!)
Malthusian - Demo MMXIII
Hexxed- Transgression

[Trev]

Gama Bomb - Terror Tapes
Mael Mordha - Cluain Tarbh
Corr Mona - Abhainn
Thin Lizzy - Thunder and Lightning (their most metal album so I'm counting it!)
Vicious Head Society - Abject Society (total Dream Theater worship, and that's a great thing for me)

There hasn't really been any great amount of power/proggy stuff coming from here. Overwhelming majority seem to be of the black/death variety

[Mithrandir]

In no order

Malthusian - Across Deaths
Abaddon Incarnate - The Last Supper
Terminus - The Reapers Spiral
Blood Revolt - Indoctrine (Can I count this one??)
Mourning Beloveth - Dusk

Could swap any of these for Slidhr - Deluge or Mykyr - Black Illuminations also.

[open face surgery]

Blood Revolt is 2/3 Canadian so no dice.

[Barrytron]

Corr Mona - Abhainn

This one really is something else IMO, so good

[Bürggermeister]

Moral Crusade - Immoral Condition
Predator - 4 Track Demo
Synapse - Cries of the Unborn
Curseed Earth - Symbiosis
Atheos - The Death of Utopia

[Maggot Colony]

In no particular order:

Primordial - To the Nameless Dead
Abaddon Incarnate - The Last Supper
Malthusian - Across Deaths
Putrefaction - Blood Cult
Senzar - Senzar

[son of the Morrigan]

Corr Mona - Abhainn

This one really is something else IMO, so good

It truly is a thing of beauty, slipped my mind somehow when I was thinking of the top 5.
sure ya could do a top 50 and they'd all be top notch albums
