I joined Metal Storm in late 2010 and throughout the years I have discovered so many incredible bands and albums thanks to this site.

My taste in music has changed considerably during this decade so putting together this list was not an easy task. This is the result but I will continuously update it as I revisit albums and discover new ones.

Let's see what the next decade brings! \m/

Nice list

Thank you!

I think you will appreciate the latest addition to the list: Wailin Storms. I recently binged their discography and just had to add one of their albums to the list. Such a consistently great band.

Yeah I have been a big fan of WS since their debut. Their last album is indeed great. They are one of the most underrated bands i know at this point.
