Hear (or listen, but not here!) it is, a new list. All of you waited eagerly for it to happen. It's a much needed update of an old list. Much has happened since then.
I have to add: even albums that are very low on this list are very good. I also included some metalcore albums because I felt they deserved it to be there.
Edit: From the most recent list: Judas Iscariot - To Embrace The Corpses Bleeding isn't in this metal list because I discovered it after I made it.
