A little list series where I list my top 20 favorite metal albums every year starting from the year I was born in.

2017 was an interesting year, overall a solid year but the most notable thing about it the nostalgia sound, many new and old bands reuniting to old sounds but in a new way, Thrash metal had a pretty solid year same with death metal and doom, black metal was in its peak with the ambient mix sound and Progressive metal had a solid showing along with power metal.

My favorite non metal albums of 2017

1. No Shape
By Perfume Genius (Art pop)


2. Brutalism
By Idles (Post-Punk, Post-Hardcore)


3. Melodrama
By Lorde (Synthpop, Art Pop)


4. Ctrl
By SZA (R&B, Neo-Soul)


5. Relatives in Descent
By Protomartyr (Post-Punk, Noise Rock)

Honestly, top 25 albums would probably be a more fitting name, given that I have honourable mentions, and few other categories as well. Some of them are self explanatory, while I want to clarify about the few others.
-Greatest disappointment of the year doesn't necessarily mean the worst album of that year, closer to the point would be that it is an album from which I expected a lot more than I received.

1.Myrkur - Mareridt

2.Elvenking - Secrets Of The Magick Grimoire

3.Wintersun - The Forest Seasons

4.Hallatar - No Stars Upon The Bridge

5.Vintersorg - Till Fjälls Del II

A list of the albums I listened to that came out in 2017.

Two rules were followed for the selection and ranking of these albums:
1. I listened to these albums at least 2 times in order to give them a fair chance.

1.Eruption - Cloaks Of Oblivion

2.Sorcerer - The Crowning Of The Fire King
