DarkSideOfLucca: Best metal albums of 2020's so far

DarkSideOfLucca 05.17.25	I accidentially deleted my last post, but that ended up being okay because it needed an update anyway I assume Deadguy and a few other upcoming albums will make this list as well - obviously will edit this list as new shit keeps coming out but it's been a great decade so far

DarkSideOfLucca 05.17.25	Nah man I prefer Stare to Cutting Some of these I've heard and some fucking own, others I havent RVAHC - thanks for the lsit! And Ad Nauseam was sick the first time I heard it, but I haven't gotten around to a second time because THEYRE NOT ON FUCKIN SPOTIFY Ugh Cant add them to any workout playlist or work playlist or driving playlist or anything
RVAHC13 05.17.25	I’m listening to 10 now while I’m cleaning my house, it’s very good thankyu

normaloctagon 05.17.25	Nice variety in here good list
DarkSideOfLucca 05.17.25	Thanks man!
Hyperion1001 05.17.25	sanguinary impetus is the best metal album of the decade so far (yes 2020 albums count).
Hawks 05.17.25	Hype is correct.
RVAHC13 05.17.25	I still haven’t listened to defeated sanity
Hawks 05.17.25	You should do that considering they're the best dm band of all time.
RVAHC13 05.17.25	Where should I start?
Hawks 05.17.25	Just jam The Sanguinary Impetus.
DarkSideOfLucca 05.17.25	You guys might hate But they'd be like #26 here lol - I love them don't get me wrong, but everything here is like orgasmically good imo
RVAHC13 05.17.25	Sir, how dare you have a subjective opinion on your own list
Faraudo 05.17.25	Are we separating hardcore from the equation or why am I not seeing Children of the Moon and Gris Klein?
JohnnyoftheWell 05.17.25	25 is one of the worst albums of the century and 1 is comfortably the biggest keeper, so at least the extremes of this list are accurate
Hawks 05.17.25	I can't fathom putting Spiritbox and Knocked Loose ahead of Defeated Sanity.
Zac124 05.17.25	2 is really good but CT is way better imo. 1 and 10 are really good picks. Everything else here I've heard are quite mid tbh.
DarkSideOfLucca 05.18.25	Faraudo, I havent heard either of those but I'm going to tomorrow Johnny Lmao, well I agree that 1 is 1 and 25 is 25 Hawks - I can fathom it ; )
rage11111ro 05.18.25	Paradise Lost for me (2) As well, Darkthrone- Eternal hails I also stand by 17
DDDeftoneDDD 05.18.25	Can t wait to check Callous Daoboys
dedex 05.18.25	Ethereal Shroud >>>>>
Chippe 05.18.25	Agreed on 1 together with Dodheimsgard-Black Medium Current and Kauan-Ice Fleet
lucazade22 05.19.25	Lots of these would be high on my list too - 1,3,6,9,10,21,22,24
Demon of the Fall 05.19.25	the quality discrepancy between 1 / 17 and the rest is quite shocking (2, 7 & 18 are decent tho)
0GuyMan0 05.19.25	6, 9, 17, 21 all would be on my list. Tesseract would be on mine of course. Re: Vinyl - get in here Lucca https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?memberid=1051095&listid=207522
