This list is meant to be an extensive, but by no means exhaustive, collection of the greatest (modern) metal albums and eps. Running the gamut from avant-garde to trve norweigan black metal. *As someone who is young in age, my tastes tend to revolve around the period of the 80s to the present.* Although certain metal albums from before will certainly be featured, the period of the 60s-70s will be under-represented. I refer you to this excellent list to gain a better appreciation for some of the best metal from that period: https://rateyourmusic.com/list/freis/martin_popoffs_the_top_500_heavy_metal_albums_of_all_time/

Within this list I shall be keeping track of everything I listen to in 2017. I will be listing albums in listening order with the newest discoveries at the bottom, then accompanied by a score (that may change as the year moves along). This is purely for personal gain as I am merely keeping track of the absurd amount of music that comes out. It is therefore likely that this will become something very long, and the majority of records will not be able to be linked to this website. Most likely updated daily.

1.Shaarimoth - Temple Of The Adversarial Fire

2.Tol Sirion - The Ashes Of A Dark Heart

3.Svangur Kvöl - Wreck Of The World

4.Mornië Utúlië - W Bezmiarach Nocy

5.Cold Body Radiation - The Orphean Lyre
