I never hear it brought up but I wanna throw 2009 into the Best Metal Year conversation, comparing this to the year before it's insane. I didn't even give my favourite band an honourable mention as there was already too many.

D666, Ruins, Nazxul, Razor of Occam, Pestilential Shadows... Nice year for Aussie Black Metal.

2.Deströyer 666 - Defiance

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/

This is a big one in that opinions I have seen and heard vary greatly. This simply represents my own thoughts. I am loathe to ever put a band's most recent album at the top of the list, but in this case I absolutely feel it is warranted. Albums I have not listened to have been left off. I have not delved into their straight-black metal period.

1.Behemoth - The Satanist

2.Behemoth - Zos Kia Cultus (Here And Beyond)

3.Behemoth - Evangelion

4.Behemoth - Demigod
