Best Metal Albums of 2016 - #20 - #11

I wanted to give you a list in written form, but don't think they need much explanation. Not like it really matters at this point, you have either checked out the records or you haven't so not sure why a blurb from me would influence you more than just giving a song a listen. So this list will not make you flip through pages, it won't drive clicks or keep you on the page for a long time scrolling or reading, just a list of my favorites from the year!

You can hear my explanation on the Metalsucks Podcast #173 (my final episode), and I will do a year end show on NO CONTROL Radio December 30th, so if you want to hear it bundled with more detail, you can check those out, otherwise, enjoy the list!


#20 Lacuna Coil - Delirium (Century Media) 

#19 Cobalt - Slow Forever (Profound Lore) 

#18 Rotting Christ - Rituals (Seasons of Mist)
