| Muzz Top 10 1997 |
| 1 |  | Dimmu Borgir Enthrone Darkness Triumphant
Remember getting the CD on Xmas Day and putting it on and being amazed. Top 10 album ever for me
Mourning Palace
The Night Masquerade |
| 2 |  | Strapping Young Lad City
There was a buzz about a new band being heavier than Fear Factory. They weren't wrong. I saw them at Sydney Uni late in '97.
All Hail the New Flesh
Oh My Fucking God |
| 3 |  | Emperor Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk
Sometimes my favourite Emperor
Ye Entrancemperium
The Loss and Curse of Reverence |
| 4 |  | Limbonic Art In Abhorrence Dementia
Being on the hunt for symphonic black metal led to these guys. Brilliant album but at the time I thought is this what it (my music taste) has come to.
A Demonoid Virtue
A Venomous Kiss of Profane Grace
When Mind and Flesh Departs |
| 5 |  | Mortality (AUS) Structure
My rev of this explains
Inventory
Step
Wonderland Again |
| 6 |  | Faith No More Album of the Year
Second only to Pantera in band of the 90's.
Stripsearch
Helpless |
| 7 |  | Megadeth Cryptic Writings
Wasn't listening to this much in 1997 but eventually got a mad appreciation for these Mustaine hooks
She-Wolf
I'll Get Even |
| 8 |  | Machine Head The More Things Change...
After Burn my Eyes this was hotly anticipated - and didn't disappoint.
Ten Ton Hammer
Spine |
| 9 |  | Testament Demonic
Only got into Testament at Low and enjoy the heavier turn they took.
Demonic Refusal
Ten Thousand Thrones |
| 10 |  | Deftones Around the Fur
Was a massive album in my area and on at every gathering I went to att.
Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away)
Headup |
