I decided to do a list with great albums of 2021 from bands not on Metalstorm instead of doing a regular "Best of" list. Most bands are fairly unknown and hail from all corners of the world while there are some easily recognizable names too. There's everything from alternative rock to experimental black so I hope you will find something you like. Cheers!

1.Tool - Lateralus

2.System Of A Down - Toxicity

3.Sodom - M-16
