My Favourite Metal Albums of 2010

A Listmania! list by M. C. Green (Oxford, England)
(REAL NAME)   
 
Evolution Of Chaos
1.  Evolution Of Chaos by Heathen
The list author says:
  "Blistering Thrash masterpiece- what a return! Endless parade of necksnapping riffs and, most importantly, memorable TUNES! My number one album of 2010"
£10.77   Used & New from: £7.60
5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (3 customer reviews)

Omega Wave
2.  Omega Wave by Forbidden
The list author says:
  "And yet another raging Thrash album by a bunch of ageing veterans- proof that age is no barrier to skull-cracking riffs and nosebleed solos- ranks right up there with Heathen."
£10.00   Used & New from: £5.81
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (3 customer reviews)

Exhibit B: The Human Condition
3.  Exhibit B: The Human Condition by Exodus
The list author says:
  "Exodus continue their amazing run of late form with this slab of prime-riff-beef- slightly less aggressive than the last 3 'new' albums, maybe with more of a nod to their bouncy, late 80s cuts."
£12.04   Used & New from: £5.55
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (6 customer reviews)

Relentless Retribution
4.  Relentless Retribution by Death Angel
The list author says:
  "And rounding up the Bay Area Thrash revivalists are these bruisers- slightly more rockin' in their approach than the other 3, they nevertheless add a healthy dose of heavy to crush any unbelievers!"
£10.97   Used & New from: £7.43
4.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (6 customer reviews)

The Obsidian Conspiracy
5.  The Obsidian Conspiracy by Nevermore
The list author says:
  "This seems to have been less highly praised than their previous efforts but I reckon it kills- smooooothly bludgeoning."
£10.56   Used & New from: £4.64
4.1 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (10 customer reviews)

Axioma Ethica Odini
6.  Axioma Ethica Odini by Enslaved
The list author says:
  "'Vertebrae' didn't do it for me- too brittle and spacey- this ramps up the grit and power and may even eclipse 'Isa' as my favourite, given time- truly epic."
£16.49   Used & New from: £7.51
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (6 customer reviews) | 1 customer discussion

Jupiter
7.  Jupiter by Atheist
The list author says:
  "I was never a fan but this short but sweet album has made me a believer- razor-sharp thrash/death with a sparkling production- a very pleasant, HEAVY surprise!"
£13.10   Used & New from: £4.95
5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (1 customer review)

The Tomb Within
8.  The Tomb Within by Autopsy
The list author says:
  "The masters return- they do it best and they deliver the mouldy, grimey goods here, brutally."
Used & New from: £1,999.99
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (2 customer reviews)

The Final Frontier
9.  The Final Frontier by Iron Maiden
The list author says:
  "Again and again, Maiden produce satisfaction- no, it's not 1985 all over again- it's 2010 and this is British Heavy Metal done right."
£5.50   Used & New from: £3.33
4.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (151 customer reviews) | 1 customer discussion

Horseback Battle Hammer
10.  Horseback Battle Hammer by Conan
The list author says:
  "The only band, since I discovered Electric Wizard in 1999, to really hit my Doooom sweet spot- thick and treacly but strangely beautiful."
£10.67

Red Light Fever
11.  Red Light Fever by Taylor Hawkins & The Coattail Riders
The list author says:
  "Not metal but still rocking in a Queen/Foo Fighters way, this is my gentle, nodding, nostalgic discovery of the year- never going to shatter worlds but it will rock them sunnily."
£4.00   Used & New from: £0.97
4.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (3 customer reviews)

Paradogma
12.  Paradogma by Hour of Penance
The list author says:
  "Chunky, juddering, thick, oozing and, most importantly, brutal, HoP are hungry, ripping and Italian masters of Death Metal- I like."
£10.78   Used & New from: £6.30

Quantum Catastrophe
13.  Quantum Catastrophe by Brain Drill
The list author says:
  "Brain Drill do what Brain Drill do best- tight, precise, laser-guided tech-death that does not relent in mashing your puny mind."
£7.44   Used & New from: £4.05
5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (2 customer reviews)

Majesty And Decay
14.  Majesty And Decay by Immolation
The list author says:
  "Their 10th album and there is no one who creates Death Metal like this lot- they refine and refine until they are left with this writhing, agonised scream of doomed anguish- it is good for you."
£11.18   Used & New from: £5.92
4.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (2 customer reviews)

Loss
15.  Loss by Wodensthrone
The list author says:
  "Unmistakeably British Black Metal which meanders and daydreams on a long journey through a verdant land but does it with power and majesty and, thankfully, divine riffs."
£12.98   Used & New from: £9.10
5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (2 customer reviews)
