2017 was a huge year for metal releases. We got new albums from the likes of Mastodon, Kreator, Enslaved and Cavalera Conspiracy, and now I’ve been asked to select my “Top Twenty” of the year. Over the past few weeks I’ve revisited all of these records and more, and while the list was ridiculously long, somehow I managed to pick twenty, and you can see my Top Metal Albums of 2017 below!
