Top 10 European Extreme Metal Albums of All Time

I was surprised there was no list about the European extreme metal albums.

In the top 10 I included mostly classic albums that were influential.

I also tried to provide a balanced representation of black metal and death metal, although extreme metal isn't limited to these two metal subgenres.
I included one album per band to provide variety.
