My "Final Selection" for 2010. Top 10 in order. The Rest for A-Z.
As a big fan of Power and Folk metal, this year was quiet good. The return of Rhapsody, new actors as Ancient Bards, Sinbreed, great comeback - Accept, Masterplan with Jorn, long awaited albums - Orphaned Land, Blind Guardian and Alcest. Some discoveries - Finsterforst, Skiltron, Pretty Maids (shame on me)and Orden Ogan. Some unexpected suprises Black Majesty, Iron Fire. Not to say that many bands didnt disappoint me with their new album - Derdian, Freedom Call, Eluvetie, Galneyrus, Wuthering Heights. Good year, a little bit above the average

1.Blind Guardian - At The Edge Of Time

2.Pathfinder - Beyond The Space, Beyond The Time

3.Freedom Call - Legend Of The Shadowking

4.Derdian - New Era Pt. 3 - The Apocalypse

5.Rhapsody Of Fire - The Frozen Tears Of Angels

2010 has come and gone...
It was a pretty uneven year in metal, with average albums coming from great bands, and good, beautiful surprises popping up from unexpected corners.
2010 was also quite a special year for me - music-wise at least. Thanks to Ivor (yeah, you), a few weird reviews, and other factors, my tastes somehow exploded. Not that it was a surprise, this was already an event in the making. But still. Plus, a year that sees the release of two life-changing albums (whether personally or because they change how you see music) is always a good thing...

1.Orphaned Land - The Never Ending Way Of ORwarriOR

2.Shining (NOR) - Blackjazz

3.Enslaved - Axioma Ethica Odini

4.Killing Joke - Absolute Dissent

5.Agrypnie - 16[485]
