Staff Decade End Favorites!
2/20/2020 by Frank Hill




We've gathered up our thoughts on everything from 2010-2019!

Thousands of hard rock and metal albums are released every year, but certain ones make a vital connection to each of us individually and stand above the rest. There are so many releases put out in this age of do-it-yourself creation that you may see names you missed, older bands you forgot existed or unknowns to look up and sample.

This was a long time column in the making. See what all the staff chose for the Decade End here: [Full Column Link]
