Max Cavalera wrote some of the best thrash metal songs with Sepultura. With Soulfly he had some ups and downs, but there were always songs with great riffs. My first intention was to make a Sepultura Top Five but I came to the conclusion that it would be a pretty easy Top Five so I changed to Soulfly. Enjoy! 5) III Release Date: June 25, 2002 4) Dark Ages Release Date: October 4, 2005 3) Conquer Release Date: July 29, 2008 2) Omen Release Date: May 25, 2010 1)Prophecy Release Date: March 30, 2004

Opeth is one of the best bands of the 21st century, their blend of heaviness and beauty in music is something really special. Even in Heritage, where they took a whole new musical direction, they still delivered some memorable moments. Of course Heritage couldn't make it to the Top Five. The competition was just unfair given Opeth's other albums or observations as they like to call their records.
