Another year has passed and with it we were blessed to have some pretty good music delivered to us. I will admit I had a very difficult time picking my top ten list. However I was pleased that I did discover some new bands and actually two of them made my top ten. One came in very high at number three. So without further ado I bring you my top ten METAL/HARD ROCK albums of 2017.
10. DED – MIS-AN-THROPE (SURETONE)
9. CANNIBAL CORPSE – RED BEFORE BLACK (METAL BLADE)
8. BODY COUNT – BLOODLUST (CENTURY MEDIA)
7. VENOM INC. – Avé (NUCLEAR BLAST)
6. KREATOR – GODS OF VIOLENCE (NUCLEAR BLAST)
5. ICED EARTH – INCORRUPTIBLE (CENTURY MEDIA)
4. OVERKILL – THE GRINDING WHEEL (NUCLEAR BLAST)
3. POWER TRIP – NIGHTMARE LOGIC (SOUTHERN LORD)
