Overall, I prefer the second half of the record to the first half, but still enjoy the whole record. If you thought Bulldozer sounded too much like Venom when they released “The Day of Wrath” in 1985, this record takes Venom worship to a whole new level! This German quartet actually sounds more like Venom than even Venom themselves have for the past 35 years! They have the formula down to a T, including a cover of the song that gave them their name, as well as their own Elizabeth Bathory tribute. Burstin’ Out - Outburst of Blasphemy (2014) After all of that decision-making, listening over and over, and narrowing down my choices, I was left with the following gems:ġ0. A couple of other records weren’t considered simply because one mediocre song was enough to disqualify it from the list. There were some albums that made me think, “This is really good, but I’m not sure if it’s worthy of the top 10”. Only the absolute cream of the crop could be included. I devoted a lot of time listening to these albums to figure out which albums were truly worthy of the top 10. Sure, I could have done a top 20 or top 30 list, but given that this was the 2010s, ten seemed like a necessary limit. With that said, it was hard to narrow this list down to ten albums. I’m sure I have a lot more music in my collection that was released this decade than I do from the previous one. With the general public seeking more 20th century music (and even on older formats in many cases), many musicians are embracing the nostalgia with them. There has been a demand for “the good old days” not just within the metal circle, but with music in general.
Best metal albums of the 2010s series#
It’s not so much because the genre has evolved into a series of interesting new styles, but because of the sheer influx of both young and old bands that are churning out true, old-school metal left and right. This past decade has been the strongest era for metal since the early ‘90s.
While metal was slowly but surely gathering momentum in the 2000s, by the time the 2010s rolled around, the heavy metal axe was swinging at everybody that was even willing to listen.
Just as you’re about to emerge into a new era, it’s always fun to take a few days to do a recap of the one that’s closing.
