TOP 100 METAL ALBUMS OF 2020

2020 has been nothing short of a horrific year. The music industry was quite possibly changed forever due to the pandemic, we saw tours and festivals canceled, and as of now, live shows seem to be a thing of the past.

However, this year ( especially in metal), we saw some big releases, impressive debuts, and the return of several bands that had been on hiatus for decades. Overall for albums, 2020 was rather impressive. Here's my favorite 100 metal albums of 2020...

1.Spectral Lore - Wanderers: Astrology Of The Nine [Collaboration]
2.Cryptic Shift - Visitations From Enceladus
3.Psychotic Waltz - The God-Shaped Void
4.Akhlys - Melinoë
5.Ulcerate - Stare Into Death And Be Still

The Best Metal Albums* From A To # (I)

This list is meant to be an extensive, but by no means exhaustive, collection of the greatest (modern) metal albums and eps. Running the gamut from avant-garde to trve norweigan black metal. *As someone who is young in age, my tastes tend to revolve around the period of the 80s to the present.* Although certain metal albums from before will certainly be featured, the period of the 60s-70s will be under-represented. I refer you to this excellent list to gain a better appreciation for some of the best metal from that period: https://rateyourmusic.com/list/freis/martin_popoffs_the_top_500_heavy_metal_albums_of_all_time/

1.I - Between Two Worlds
2.I Built The Sky - The Sky Is Not The Limit
3.I Shalt Become - Poison
4.Iapetus - The Body Cosmic
5.IATT - Nomenclature
