A couple of weeks ago, Decibel Magazine released their Best Albums of the Year list. Some thought it was super early, but the magazine made a point to say that they have early print deadlines and wanted to share the list before somebody on some forum stole all the glory. At the time we jokingly asked how many of the bands on the list you had heard of.
Now, the other U.S. metal magazine, Revolver, has released their top 25 albums of the year, and it seems like a much more recognizable list.
Is that a good thing or a bad thing? That's up to you to decide. Here are their picks:
25. Blood Incantation – Hidden History of the Human Race
24. Wicca Phase Springs Eternal – Suffer On
23. The Devil Wears Prada – The Act
22. SeeYouSpaceCowboy – The Correlation Between Entrance and Exit Wounds
21. 3TEETH – Metawar
20. Ithaca – The Language of Injury
19. Fury – Failed Entertainment
18. Angel Du$t – Pretty Buff
17. Venom Prison – Samsara
16. Une Misère – Sermon
15. Korn – The Nothing
14. Russian Circles – Blood Year
13. Chelsea Wolfe – Birth of Violence
12. Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes – End of Suffering
11. Jinjer – Macro
10. Rammstein – Rammstein
09. Spirit Adrift – Divided by Darkness
08. Brutus – Nest
07. Devil Master – Satan Spits on Children of Light
06. Killswitch Engage – Atonement
05. Baroness – Gold & Grey
