Juho Mikkonen's Top 20 of 2011

To squeeze a whole twelve-month period – especially one that was as eventful as 2011 − into a list and a couple of paragraphs is always a pain in the jolly ol’ crapper. Having said that, I can only look back with awe at all sorts of...

Staff Infections - October 2011

Over the past month, the MetalReview staff has been spinning a diverse palette of new releases. While there's been no clear-cut playlist dominator (a la Absu last month), two albums in particular seem to be receiving a lot of love: Azarath 's...

Resurrection Of Carnage: Reissue This! Pt. 2

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...

Another year, another list. 2010 brought yet another onslaught of heavy metal, and we at Metal Review sifted through the gross majority of it. Finally, the dust has settled, and all that remains are our Top 25 Albums of 2010 . Like previous years ( 2008...

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...

Jordan Campbell's Top 20 of 2010

2010 was a weird year. While there was a ton of heavy metal for the taking (the disparate lists of my colleagues will attest to this), I didn't really have much time to digest it. Life, as they say, is a bitch. So, while there was a serious influx...

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 - ...Sans Bonus Tracks

In heavy metal, art and commerce are mercilessly bound. There's no way around it. Bands create art, labels make money. Well, that's the intention , anyway. Whether that actually happens is another matter entirely. Anyway, his awkward symbiosis...

Chris McDonald's Top 20 of 2009

2009 was kind of an unusual year for me metal-wise. In addition to going through a pretty significant non-metal phase for several months, this year saw so many classic bands either reforming or releasing new material after a long break that I felt like...

Jordan Campbell's Top 20 of 2009

Another year in heavy metal...and what a year it was. It seems like every band on the planet released something in 2009; when Immortal , Absu , and Destroyer 666 all emerge from hibernation at once, it's a sign that things are things are getting ridiculous...
