This is a list of my favourite debut albums.
I'm sure there are some years that will have multiple great debut albums but I'm limiting to only putting one band per year.
The ones that I put in the list is (in my opinion) the best debut album of that year, while the rest are put in honourable mentions.

While I do listen to most genres of metal, there will still be some genres (e.g. metalcore, industrial, etc.) that I don't often listen.
So do not be disappointed if I didn't put in something that you think is missing from the list but you are more than welcome to give suggestions as I'll give everything a try.

This list is in progress and will be updated whenever I remember. Last update: 13/12/2014
