Best Metal Album of 2016: #10 - #1

Time to finish off this list and give you, in written form, what I feel are the best records of the year. Now I know these are subjective, not everyone will agree, and I have looked at a bunch of lists that tried to find the least heard records and be cool, but what I have here are what I personally enjoy more than any other records. It is my taste and maybe just maybe you might find a gem of two in here and discover some cool music you had not listened to yet. So Enjoy!
