Best Rock and Metal Albums of 2010

The Top Ten

1 At the Edge of Time - Blind Guardian

2 Diamond Eyes - Deftones

3 Opus Eponymous - Ghost

4 Unsilent Death - Nails

Only 13 minutes long, this has to be one of the shortest albums I have listened to. Either way it is jampacked with heavy, explosive music that keeps on punching. For a debut it goes all out. Only listen to this, if you enjoy really brutal music, like Death Metal or Grindcore. Then try their other albums too.

5 Asylum - Disturbed

6 Ironbound - Overkill

7 Legacy of the Ancients - Pathology

I've been really digging the Slam genre a lot. Vocals are complete nonsense but the music is so earwormingly good. This was one of the first albums to introduce me to Slam Metal. Overall, it's pretty great.

8 Blood of the Nations - Accept
