Purely subjective list based on personal preferences for the year, unrelated to mass opinion of an album or a band's abilities (e.g. Trivium, Oranssi Pazuzu) - many albums lined up to listen to so will increase in size. Also, not entirely in order, middle order mainly just an approximation.

1. Sylosis - Edge Of The Earth

2. Protest The Hero - Scurrilous

3. Infestus - E x I s t

4. Amorphis - The Beginning Of Times

5. Ouroboros - Glorification Of A Myth

This list will expand later and the positions here will probably change a bit as well. An interesting feature is an album in top 10 from a band that's not featured on Metal Storm yet.

1. Amorphis - The Beginning Of Times

2. Omnium Gatherum - New World Shadows

3. MyGrain - Mygrain

4. Constantine - Divine Design

5. Chaos Divine - The Human Connection

1. Septicflesh - The Great Mass

2. Opeth - Heritage

3. Pain Of Salvation - Road Salt Two

Welcome, no matter if you're a long-term MS member or an Avenged Sevenfold listener. Don't know what to vote for? Here's ANOTHER yearly best-of list for you to go through, or, more likely, for the usual tl;dr. But, wait - what makes this one different: 1) unqualified and totally subjective two-line reviews, 2) conscious restriction to the litte-more-than-20 most impressive albums, 3) an aversion against the much too generic thrash & power metal genres and anything without recall value.

1. Amaranthe - Amaranthe

2. Alestorm - Back Through Time

3. Thy Catafalque - Rengeteg

4. Fair To Midland - Arrows & Anchors

5. The Devil's Blood - The Thousandfold Epicentre
