iTokoloshe's 25 Of 2010
The 25 metal albums that rocked my socks off in 2010. These are in no particular order. |
1 | | As I Lay Dying The Powerless Rise
Consistent, great breakdowns and another good effort from the band |
2 | | Avenged Sevenfold Nightmare
What a response to losing The Rev. Its epic, perfectly constructed and has some moments that just blow you away |
3 | | Black Tusk Taste the Sin
Dirty, simple and fun |
4 | | Bleed From Within Empire
Hard work pays off. Another up and coming band ready to take over the world |
5 | | Bring Me The Horizon There Is A Hell, Believe Me I've Seen It
Ignoring the haters and transforming into one of the most amazing bands around. The songs featuring Lights are just on another level |
6 | | Bullet for My Valentine Fever
Another fantastic album from the Welsh wizards. Could've been a bit more consistent in terms of heaviness, but there are some killer riffs and songs on this album |
7 | | Cancer Bats Bears, Mayors, Scraps & Bones
I dare you not to headbang and mosh to this. Not humanly possible |
8 | | Daath Daath
Heavy, techy, brutal and clever music. |
9 | | Deftones Diamond Eyes
They keep getting better, 8 string guitars add depth to the sound and the riffs bash you |
10 | | Devil Sold His Soul Blessed & Cursed
Beauty and the Beast in musical form |
11 | | Dimmu Borgir Abrahadabra
This is what Dimmu have always strived to sounds like. Epic stuff |
12 | | Exodus Exhibit B: The Human Condition
Rifftastic from the under-rated thrash metal pioneers. I prefer Zetro as vocalist, but Rob Dukes and his anger are growing on me |
13 | | Fear Factory Mechanize
Machines making organic sounds |
14 | | Ghost B.C. Opus Eponymous
So catchy, so evil! |
15 | | Kvelertak Kvelertak
It's so good that you'll sing along to lyrics in Norwegian that you don't understand. How these guys manage to blend all these styles together amazes me |
16 | | Murderdolls Women and Children Last
The lyrics are hilarious, the riffs are funky, the delivery is cool. You can't help but rock out when listening to it |
17 | | Ov Hell The Underworld Regime
Ignore who the band members are, drop the expectations and you'll find that the music is great modern black metal |
18 | | Parkway Drive Deep Blue
The Byron Bay boys just keep getting better. Its brutal, its uplifting, its epic. Visit Byron Bay one day and you'll understand these guys better, its a little corner of heaven |
19 | | Rob Zombie Hellbilly Deluxe 2
Another great slab of horror movie fun from the RZ guys |
20 | | Rolo Tomassi Cosmology
Its just way out there, in another galaxy, but so captivating |
21 | | Skeletonwitch Forever Abomination
Keeping it simple, but doing it so well |
22 | | Soulfly Omen
Max tearing us a new one with really catchy songs |
23 | | Stone Sour Audio Secrecy
The most consistent Stoner Sour album up until this point. Corey puts in a great balanced performance |
24 | | The Amity Affliction Youngbloods
Another Aussie band doing great things. You can feel the Aussie flair and lifestyle coming through the music |
25 | | The Damned Things Ironiclast
Its fun, its surprisingly good and gets better each time you listen to it |
