Iron Recommends: A Metal Selection
Yep, one of those lists. Everyone has one, so I thought I'd make a list of metal albums I really recommend.
This is not an absolute "best-of" list, for a few reasons:

Hipster Heart - Iron's 2013
As usual, interesting albums of the year to be ranked and reviewed.
This time I'll make it easier for myself, and group weaker releases by genre as soon as I rate them. Expect only 5-3,5/5 to be…

Iron's 2021 - Throwbacks And New Frontiers
WIP
A selection of music I listened to enough to have an opinion about.
As the title suggests, my year seems to have featured a lot of throwbacks: a new Stereolab compilation of archival material; a…

Pop Stars And Nerd Metal - Iron's 2020
