I have listened like 70-80 metal albums released in 2011 until 20 August 2012 and this is my top list of them. Couple of other quite good albums simply didn't make it into selection of 20, it was a bit challenging to select only 20 pieces. But would be pointless to list nearly all or all of them on the other hand...

1. Nightwish - Imaginaerum

2. Moonsorrow - Varjoina Kuljemme Kuolleiden Maassa

3. Alestorm - Back Through Time

4. Peste Noire - L'Ordure A L'etat Pur

5. Darkal - Here Comes The Darkness

Looking at this list I realise that 2011 was a better metal year than I remembered it to be. Interesting year with a lot of surprises. The Shining album is in my opinion awesome, one of their best. Power Quest released their best album since "Wings of Forever". Amon Amarth keep on surprising me with solid releases (and I thought I was over them years ago). Opeth's "Heritage" was way better than my expectations. Amebix gave me some of the best tracks of '11. Overall, a really good year. Although I have to admit that the last four are real fillers worthy of the name.

1. Shining - VII - Född Förlorare

2. Lifelover - Sjukdom

3. An Autumn For Crippled Children - Everything

4. Power Quest - Blood Alliance

5. Amon Amarth - Surtur Rising
