2010 has come and gone...
It was a pretty uneven year in metal, with average albums coming from great bands, and good, beautiful surprises popping up from unexpected corners.
2010 was also quite a special year for me - music-wise at least. Thanks to Ivor (yeah, you), a few weird reviews, and other factors, my tastes somehow exploded. Not that it was a surprise, this was already an event in the making. But still. Plus, a year that sees the release of two life-changing albums (whether personally or because they change how you see music) is always a good thing...

1.Orphaned Land - The Never Ending Way Of ORwarriOR

2.Shining (NOR) - Blackjazz

3.Enslaved - Axioma Ethica Odini

4.Killing Joke - Absolute Dissent

5.Agrypnie - 16[485]
