[jingle.boy]

E1: Hardline/Double Eclipse

[yorost]

E3 Psychotic Waltz - Bleeding

I'll give it to you.  I made the mistake of cutting off from the Into the Everflow/Bleeding boxset cover, which is a mishmash of the two.  My bad, glad I put something easily recognizable from Bleeding there. 

E1: Hardline/Double Eclipse

I figured you might get that one quickly.

[jingle.boy]

It would be a tad embarrassing if I didn't!

[fadetoblackdude7]

A4: Van Halen - Balance

[yorost]

I don't want to give specific hints so quickly, but I may not be on the computer too much more the rest of the day.  ...so here's a breakdown I compiled quickly for the 20 albums remaining.  It may not be perfect, but it's close.

Artist's Country
Norway - 8
US - 7.5
Germany - 1
Japan - 1
Netherlands - 1
Switzerland - 1
Austria - .5

Release Years
6 - 7
7 - 1 5 5
8 -
9 - 5 7 9
0 - 2 3 4 4 4 5 6 6 6 6 8 9
1 - 2

[wolfking]

I looked at Dreamtower too, very closely. 

[wolfking]

Damn, I don't know any of these.

[wolfking]

C1: In the Woods - Omnio

[DebraKadabra]

Just one of these damn times I'd like to be in on one of these from the beginning.

[yorost]

An intrepid player might peruse any websites my profile may or may not link to.

It's entirely possible that 4 albums yet unknown have performers I would surely mention when listing my top 5 artists.  Actually, 2 albums already solved might have had them as performers, too..

The deluge of Norwegian albums was not on purpose, but it might be a sign I enjoy their avant garde metal scene.

[Pols Voice]

You sound so mysterious.

[yorost]

. I'd hate to just come out and say something!

[DebraKadabra]

He's trying to give hints without giving hints.  Pretty smart, actually.

[Big Hath]

A wet moose walks backwards at night, but an old buzzard whistles in its sleep.

[DebraKadabra]

The owls are not what they seem.

[Big Hath]

interesting - both of those shows aired in 1990

[DebraKadabra]

Yours was from... Northern Exposure?

[Big Hath]

ha!  The Cosby Show

[DebraKadabra]

 

[jingle.boy]

E2 - Ansur/Warring Factions
A3 - Twisted into Form/Instinct Solitaire

[Cyclopssss]

E3 Psychotic Waltz - Bleeding

I'll give it to you.  I made the mistake of cutting off from the Into the Everflow/Bleeding boxset cover, which is a mishmash of the two.  My bad, glad I put something easily recognizable from Bleeding there. 

Well, I noticed you took the image from the two disc box-set. But The ´main´ figure in it is from Bleeding, the background is from ´Into the Everflow´. That would be the more complete and correct answer.

[yorost]

Well, I used it because I own the boxset and that was th image I was thinking of!  . Brain fart that it wasn't actually an album!  Devon Graves, though, I love that guy, one of my absolute favourite artists.

@jingle.boy:  . You can probably do 2-3 better.  It's not always right in front of your face.

B4: Ved Buens Ende - Written in Waters
