Hello Metalheads and my friends THE MetalHeads! I’m Feind Gottes author and writer/editor for Thy Demons Be Scribblin. We’re about at the mid-way point of the year so a short time ago Buke (my new internet stalker!) asked me if I’d be willing to provide a little mid-year list if I wasn’t already doing one for my own site.

Top lists are hard. So are intros to them. So I think I’ll skip that bit. Here are my top 5 albums of 2015, in no particular order.

I have heard some people say that 2015 wasn’t as good a year for metal as last year. I find myself unable to agree with that assessment. For the better part of 2015, I felt like I was spinning around in circles trying to catch all the great albums as they came flying by; I couldn’t shake the feeling that there was a great undiscovered treasure...

Wow, pretty great year...up until Lemmy died. Amorphis and Cattle Decapitation released utterly addictive albums, the Vanden Plas release might be their best yet (Goddammit, more people need to listen to them), and Bell Witch dropped a nuclear bomb on the doom crowd...

I don’t claim to be a professional album reviewer. I just like what I like. I’ve been a metal head for about 33 years now, so that is my claim of legitimacy to provide a year-end album list (and the guys asked me so I complied). My top five are pretty solid. The order of albums 6 through 25 could be rearranged...

Every year I look forward to compiling my year-end, top metal albums list. It gives me a chance to reflect on my past-year acquisitions, as well as compare favorites with friends. So, I was psyched when the guys asked me to participate in their year-end Top 25 episode.

Having been listening to heavy music for over 20 years now, I still get excited by new and exciting music by bands both new and old. The year started a bit slow by by the end of it there was, as ever, a ton of brilliant releases.

I’m a craft beer worshiper and a black coffee drinker who is still holding out for a new Soilent Green album. I occasionally write about beer at Manifest Fermentation and can be found on Twitter too. My list is everything I love about metal, from its occasional pure cheese factor to the over the top brutality. I love it all…well a lot of it anyways! Cheers!

There's always room for more Best Of lists, right? Of course there is. Below are some of the lists we received from friends. There is a lot of good stuff in there not featured on any of our other lists, so happy hunting. I would also like to point out that Wilderun captures their third number one for the 2015 metal hat-trick.
Read MoreI know I titled this “The 100 Best Metal Albums of 2014”, but I did that mostly so the search engines might pick up on it more and then more people may see this list. What this list really is, though, are my personal favorite 100 albums of 2014.
Read MoreI first heard about the Landless Theatre Company in Washington, D.C. last year when one of my wife’s college friends, Terry, was one of the Landless board members. Terry heard I was running Metal Disciple and got a hold of me to see if I wanted to check out and review a show from their production of Richard Campbell’s Frankenstein.
Read MoreFuck! Today has really sucked. Even as the day comes to a close I am still having a hard time accepting the news that Dave Brockie, aka Oderus Urungus, the mighty frontman of GWAR, is dead.
Read More“I sure wish all my favorite bands would go back and re-record their early albums,” said no metal fan ever. I was driving home yesterday evening listening to the 80s thrash metal classic “Bonded by Blood” from Exodus...
Read MoreI am blown away by the news I just received that Mitch Lucker, singer for Suicide Silence, was killed in a motorcycle accident last night. METALHEADS send our condolences to all his friends, family, and fans. Rest in peace brother.
Read MoreTest Today is one of those days where I wish I had just stayed in bed. The gods have apparently conspired to piss me off mightily and the shit just continues to roll down hill to yours truly sitting at the bottom. When I become enraged one of the first things I do is turn to music.
Read MoreWay back on June 29th I posted about the new release of the book “Tales from the Stage” by Michael Toney. Due to time away and the down-time from redesigning and rebranding the site, it took me a little while to sit down and read this book.
