My first thought is that your entire top 4 is stuff where I'd prefer a different album from the same band <_< Leprosy for Death, Schizophrenia for Sepultura, Altars of Madness for Morbid Angel and Obsessed by Cruelty for Sodom (especially if I cheat and add In the Sign of Evil since they've been re-released together anyway). You're one of the few people that agrees with me on Iron Maiden and Metallica's best albums though.
Anyway I don't have a clear cut list of favourites but I'll make a list anyway. Everything after the top spot is essentially unordered and just listed as it comes to mind. Also doing one album per band for fun, probably not that many bands who would make the list twice anyway though
- Dead Congregation - Graves of the Archangels
- Gorguts - The Erosion of Sanity
- Morbid Saint - Spectrum of Death
- Beherit - Drawing Down the Moon
- Satan's Hallow - s/t
- Primordial - Redemption at the Puritan's Hand
- Chastain - The Voice of the Cult
- Samael - Ceremony of Opposites
- Judas Priest - Painkiller
- Mortem - The Devil Speaks in Tongues
- Chapel - Satan's Rock and Roll
- Demolition Hammer - Epidemic of Violence
- Deathwish - At the Edge of Damnation
- Tribulation - The Horror
- Sodom - In the Sign of Evil/Obsessed by Cruelty
- Queensryche - Operation: Mindcrime
- Pseudogod - Deathwomb Catechesis

- Morbid Angel - Altars of Madness
- Mgla - With Hearts Toward None
- Immortal - Pure Holocaust

- Fates Warning - Awaken the Guardian

- Tyrant - Too Late to Pray
- Slayer - Hell Awaits
- Artillery - By Inheritance
- Demilich - Nespithe

Definitely feel like I overlooked some stuff but whatever, any time I make a list like this it ends up being something I could look at a week later and change half the stuff on it and be just as satisfied
