for me, this year too, there are  many ex aequo's and in particular the triumphal entry  of  CD's from the underground - a particular mention for MESSIAH's Psychomorphia :)

 
                                 1)   DARKMOON -   EP Black Domain    live report (practically only 3 tracks , but they  for me are so  brilliant that i cannot get enough, the real musical revelation of 2003 for me )
2)   BELPHEGOR - Lucifer Incestus     +  PARADISE LOST  - At the BBC      + BEFORE THE DAWN - My Darkness
