Its coming to that time of the year again, what have been your favourite albums in 2010 been?

Posted on my FB account, with my favourite label of the year and my hopes for 2011.

Sodom - In War and Pieces
Iron Maiden - Final Frontier
Electric Wizard - Black Mass
The Lord Weird Slough Feg - The Animal Spirits
Ludicra - The Tenant
Revolting - The Terror Threshold (probably my most played album this year)
Ghost - Opus Eponymous
Watain – Lawless Darkness
Enslaved – Axioma Ethica Odini
Darkthrone - Circle the Wagons

God, I can't even remember what came out this year and otherwise.

I did enjoy that Watain one as well. Other than that, i'd have to check release dates.

Sick of it All - Based on a True Story (On form at the moment, this and their previous are probably their best albums in my opinion)
Integrity - The Blackest Curse (Fucking fierce. Some brilliant riffs, it's really chaotic and dark)
Overkill - Ironbound (I can't think of any other Thrash albums this year, really - though I haven't heard Heathen amongts others. Really impressed me)
Danzig - Deth Red Sabaoth (Return to form. Not perfect but many a good track and plenty of balls)
Black Breath - Heavy Breathing (Some awesome riffs. A hardcore band with plenty of influence Entombed, love it)
Grinderman - II (Wasn't that impressed with the first one when I heard it. This one was dirty as. Some great lyrics from Nick Cave)
Black Country Communion - S/T (Some of it slightly missed the mark but there was plenty to appreciate here and the stronger tracks were great)
Iron Maiden - Final Frontier (Mentioned my thoughts on this when it came out but it has lots of good tracks amongst the questionable filler bits)

Still have plenty to listen to, mind. Electric Wizard, Ghost, Sodom, Heathen, Dio's live albums, Kylesa, Monster Magnet amongst others. Notable lack of punk and thrash for me this year.

Oh, and that does not include Annihilator's effort that was slightly too irritating in parts to warrant inclusion and the BBB effort because, to be honest, it was so dull.

I can't remember much of what came out this year, most of the amazing albums I discovered were about 30 odd years old - but it's probably safe to say Ghost's debut is the king of 2010. Also The Final Frontier was great for me, obviously there were many mixed reactions and there's a good few dodgy moments on that album, but for the most part I still bloody love it. The Opeth live album/DVD (from the Royal Albert Hall 20th anniversary joy) was amazing too. Black Country Communion was pretty damn rockin', but I have to say I did get bored of it pretty quickly. And Robert Plant's one was pretty cool from what I heard, but nothing to really shout about.

For next year, all my hopes lie with Saxon (think their new one should be out around March time), Opeth (they start recording in January, hopefully a release in Autumn!), maybe the Rolling Stones (if rumours, and Keith Richards, are to be believed), and perhaps even Tool as 2011 should make it 5 years since the last album, although I reckon their next album will probably be a 2012 jobby. Oh yeah and the new Fleet Foxes album should be out next year too, which is most probably going to be absolutely bloody amazing. And I wonder if any new lovely bands will spring out from the ground?

1. Killing Joke - Absolute Dissent (Brilliant. Just brilliant.)
2. Overkill - Ironbound
3. Desultory - Counting Our Scars (Great comeback album)
4. Death Angel - Relentless Retribution
5. Accept - Blood Of The Nations
6. Atheist - Jupiter
7. Motorhead - The World is Yours
8. Order Of Ennead - An Examination Of Being
9. Witchery - Witchkrieg
10. Ratt - Infestation

This has been the shittest year for heavy metal in modern history. Even the bands on these lists haven't raised the bar & are just living off their names & back catalogue.

Apart from Ghost, they're quality!

Other must gets are the Nails CD (it's finally been CD-ised) and the Melvins album - that was a beast. Oh and Killing Joke, can't believe I haven't picked that up yet...

just to chime in, the last album i bought was a compilation of 1970s Nigerian Acid Rock. best thing i bought all year, i dont really care as all the bands we choose aint new, who is new that delivers and in 10 years you'll be dusting off the ipod to listen?

haha, got a link Pat?
