Obligatory Iron Maiden Live Album, 2012 Edition

Since it's been almost a year since metal giants Iron Maiden released a compilation album (2011's From Fear To Eternity: The Best Of 1990-2010 ), that means that it's time for a live album... And here it is ... En Vivo! documents the band's...

The Most Essential Albums of the 1990s, Vol. 8

We're gearing up for the final act, people. Volume 8 of MetalReview ’s 100 Most Essential Albums Of The 1990s might've been subtitled "Groundbreakers" if we had the front page real estate to allow for such shenanigans. Contained...

Reverend's Bazaar - Old-School, New-School

As far as trends are concerned, 2011 hasn't really shown it's hand yet. Three years ago, we were plagued with birth brees of deathcore. Two years ago, re-thrash movement hit it's peak. (Both are now reviled--or at least passively derided-...

John Ray's Top 20 of 2010

I've seen a lot of folks talking about how weird 2010 has been. And how shitty. I don't know how I feel about it yet, except that it went too fucking fast. Or maybe not fast enough. Fuck it. I don't have a clue. What I'll remember most...

Michael Wuensch's Top 20 of 2010

Adios, 2010. On a personal level, you were a bastard of a year that I'm happy to finally see in my rear-view mirror. If I could throw a bag over Father Time's head and bust him in his ancient stones for dishing out so much grief to the people...

Zach Duvall's Top 20 of 2010

What a year... I don't know if I just paid more attention in 2010 due to free time or if this much stuff really did blow me away, but I never remember listening to and devouring this much metal within a 12 month period. For me, this year saw lots...

Jeremy Witt's Top 20 of 2010

Looking now at my top three spots, it occurs to me that all of those bands would have very likely made my Top Ten Of 1986 and also of 1988, had I done such things back then as rank records. (I was nine or eleven then, and only barely dipping into metal...

Reverend's Bazaar - Inexorable Decline

It may not seem like it now, but 2010 could go down as a turning point in the history of heavy metal. As the genre turns 40, the plates have begun to shift. Earlier this year, we were forced to bid farewell to a pair of beloved figures in Ronnie James...

Reverend's Bazaar - Delusional Polarity

Well, nobody died since the last edition , which is a good thing. (As long as you aren't trying to sell a Watain album, anyway.) Normalcy returns, and it's time to get back on the trading block. After a bit of a lull, the metallic action is starting...

We hope that over the last 10 weeks you have made some great new album discoveries due to this absolute monster of all decade-ending lists. Better yet, we hope you have formed some new obsessions. We here at Metal Review did not put this together to be...
