JP’s Top 10 of 2011

December 30th, 2011
Another fantastic year for Metal with over 5000 new, full-length studio albums coming out.  I had to work with a pool of (only!) 800 albums to narrow it down to these few bands.  Check out www.megawattmayhem.ca for a comprehensive analysis of over 25 Top Lists for 2011, broken down by nation, genre and much more.  My Top 10 is loaded with the cream of the crop of International Metal, bands from Belgium, Italy, Japan, Brazil, Denmark, Sweden, Finland and America!
Metallum Aeturnus!
  1. Riot-Immortal Soul (SPV)

Unlike the last two years where new bands (Cain’s Offering, Pathfinder) from out of nowhere take the top slot, this year it is a battle-tested veteran of the Metal wars. The speed, the power, the glory, the majesty…I never thought that in a million years Riot could make an album like this again, namely Thundersteel Part II.  It instantly was a Top 3 contender and eventually made the cut for this year’s #1 pick for me.

2. Dragon Guardian-Destiny Of The Sacred Kingdom (Indie)

3. Reinxeed-1912 (Rivel)

4. Pagan’s Mind-Heavenly Ecstasy (SPV)

5. Solar Fragment-In Our Hands (Scarlet)

6. Rhapsody Of Fire-From Chaos To Eternity (Nuclear Blast)

7. Lorenguard-Eve Of Corruption: The Days Of Astasia-Part One (Indie)

8. Symfonia-Paradisum (Armoury)

9. Vicious Rumors-Razorback Killers (SPV)

10. Fireforce-March On (7hard)
