Top 100 Albums of the 2010s

I joined Metal Storm in late 2010 and throughout the years I have discovered so many incredible bands and albums thanks to this site.

My taste in music has changed considerably during this decade so putting together this list was not an easy task. This is the result but I will continuously update it as I revisit albums and discover new ones.

Let's see what the next decade brings! \m/

1.SubRosa - More Constant Than The Gods
2.Chelsea Wolfe - Abyss
3.Nhor - Within The Darkness Between The Starlight
4.Trees Of Eternity - Hour Of The Nightingale
5.Agruss - Morok

Top 50 Metal Albums Of The 2010's

I will most likely look back at this decade as the dark ages of popular music. A time where mainstream music was largely dominated by talentless pop/hip hop music with less memorable songs than the previous decade. However, that doesn't mean that metal music followed the same path. While it was largely dominated by metalcore during the beginning of the decade, I started to grow to love more music in this decade for metal music than I initially did during the beginning of the decade. This was the decade where I became a metalhead, where I became who I am today and started expanding my horizons musically and learn to appreciate a lot of metal music released during this decade and that will be something I will look back at fondly. As the 2010's comes to a close, I decided to make a list of the top 50 metal albums of the decade that I would consider the best. NOTE: this list might change if I discover more music from this decade that I thought are amazing.

1.Trees Of Eternity - Hour Of The Nightingale
2.Kauan - Sorni Nai
3.Angellore - La Litanie Des Cendres
4.Les Discrets - Ariettes Oubliées...
5.Woods Of Ypres - Woods 5: Grey Skies & Electric Light

1.After Forever - Decipher
2.Ahab - The Giant
3.Amesoeurs - Amesoeurs
4.Arcturus - The Sham Mirrors
5.Between The Buried And Me - The Great Misdirect

My Favorite Black And Doom Metal Albums Of 2012!

Its in alphabetical order by albums... Some albums on this list may or may not be the exact description of Black or Doom Metal or their subgenres. They just seem to fit for my taste and way I like my Black And Doom dosage. I'm sure some may say Les Discrets and Alcest and other bands on the list can't be Black or Doom because of their sounds and lyrical themes, but if their music gives me that darkness that let's say Watain or Gorgoroth give in Black Metal just without the Satanic lyrics and more of the emotions of Blackness and Doom then to me its Black Metal and the same goes to whatever Doom bands are on my list. If anyone checks out my list, thanks.

1.Mental Home - Угра
2.Forgotten Tomb - ...And Don't Deliver Us From Evil
3.Profetus - ...To Open The Passages In Dusk
4.Narrow House - A Key To Panngrieb
5.A Forest Of Stars - A Shadowplay For Yesterdays
