Not only another year has passed however another decade.
What albums have been th3 standout over the past 10 years!
For me the following are the ones that stand fore most in my mind.
Bolzer - Hero - What more need to be said about this beast of a record. From the production to the musicians.
Mgla - Exercise in Futility - This was a more difficult one to choose between this or With Hearts, i picked this one as I feel it had more melody and Darkside definitely stepped up his drumming for this.
Tribulation - Formulas of Death - Something fresh and original in the death metal scene. Love the melody and catchy hooks throughout the album. Amd that closing track..... I could (and have) listened to it over and over!
Primordial - Exile Amongst the Ruins - After 3 very same-ish style albums amazing to hear something so fresh by these guys. Definitely their most creative album since The Gathering Wilderness.
Wardruna - Runaljod - Yggdrasil - My absolute favourite of the Runaljod trilogy and the one with the most passion and emotion.
(The above are not in any particular order)
However my number one by a mile:
Mourning Beloveth - Formless - Nothing I have heard in the past 10 years has even come close to topping this record. Every aspect of this record is flawless with the closing two tracks of Dead Channel and Nothing has a Centre being my favourite!
Anyway always interested to hear what others have been obsessed with for the last 10 years!
Obscura - Diluvium - it's like Focus, Unquestionable Presence and Symbolic had a kid and Allan Holdsworth came 'round to babysit/lay down some lead, fuck me.
Err, lots more, but I'm pissed :laugh:
I'll have a think this time next year when it's the end of the decade.

This.....
2010-2019 is the decade lads..
BlackWizard I would agree with most of your list. The releases by Bolzer and Tribulation were totally eye opening and fresh sounding. I love most of Mourning Beloveth but Formless was on another level of special altogether. I wonder are they working on new stuff??
Primordial sadly no. They've lost it since the vocalist changed his style to this kind of epic 80s thing. Even on Names less Dead there was still a bit of fire and grit in the vocals eg closing track No Nation.
I would suggest VEMOD - venter pa stormene.
Aural magic.
Dead Congregation- Promulgation of the fall
Blood incantation-Starspawn
Tribulation-The Formulas of Dearh
Pestilence- Hadeon
Necrophobic-Mark of Necrogram
Destroyer 666 -Wildfire
Vektor-both albums in the decade
Immolation- Atonement
Ghost-a number of albums.
SepticFlesh-The Great Mass
Behemoth-The Satanist
Cruciamentum- Charnel Passages
Irish releases,Zealot Cult and Sacrilegia were the stand outs for me.
It was good decade for death metal,loads of quality releases
Vektor - Terminal Redux
Sepultura - Machine Messiah
Vallenfyre - Splinters
KXM - Scatterbrain
Rival Schools - Pedals
Killing Joke - Pylon
Goatwhore - Blood for the Master

Atheist - Jupiter
Fates Warning - Theories of Flight
Pestilence - Hadeon
Elder - Lore/Reflections of a Floating World
YOB - Clearing the Path to Ascend
Pallbearer - Sorrow and Extinction/Foundations of Burden
Queens of the Stone Age - Like Clockwork
Converge - All We Love We Leave Behind
Mastodon - Once More 'Round the Sun
Napalm Death - Apex Predator
High on Fire - Luminiferous
Bolzer - Hero
Spirit Adrift - Divided by Darkness
There's loads more but these come to mind.
High Spirits - Another Night
Gama Bomb - Speed between the lines
Dark Throne - Circle the wagons
Immolation- Atonement
Wytch Hazel - Prelude
Night Demon. - Darkness Remains
Ghost - Meliora
Morbus Chron- Sweven
Vektor - Terminal Redux

There's so many more, pretty great decade for metal I'd say
Formless by Mourning Beloveth. Perfect.

Except it is. Would you say an album released in 1990 came out in the 80s?
A decade is a period of ten years, the 0 year is a full year itself, therefore 0 to 9 is a period of ten years.
How is it confusing people?
Crazy talk
Clutch Earth Rocker

Gentlemans Pistols - Hustler's Row
Cattle Decapitation - The Anthropocene Extinction

There was no year zero. There was 1BC and then 1 AD which is the first year of the first decade of the calendar we have used for the last two millennia.
Because there was no Year Zero, the first decade of the common era (CE or AD) was years 1 to 10, the second decade was years 11 to 20, and the next decade will be years 2021 to 2030.
At least this thread will be still going for another 12 months at least. :laugh:

So Rust in Peace was the best album of the 80s, released in 1990? :-\
Sake lads, its accepted that a decade is the 0-9
Anyway a few more that sprang to mind
Xoth - Interdimensional Invocations. Could be a bit of recency bias, but I've had this on nearly non stop for the last while
Ihsahn - Arktis. Could probably pick any of the stuff he put out, just really like the artwork on this
Sepultura - Machine Messiah. Absolutely baffling people still want Max back, there's no chance he could ever do something this good these days
Love Machine Messiah and Arktis. Celestial Violence is a stomper of a song.

Wasn't our calender system only adopted in something like the 5th century? So it's ultimately arbitrary and man made anyway (like most things), but common practice since long before any of us were born is to count from 0 to 9, inclusive.
But a valid point raised by myself and another poster above - so ye consider albums released in 1990 part of the 80s?
So I'm taking from this is a lot of people are retarded as regards decades, and i need to check out Obscura, newer Immolation and Beyond Creation.
In turn I give back Gallowbaird, Caladan Brood, Vastum, Disma, Corpsessed, Vreid, Auroch, Wormrot, Gatecreeper, and aye, Dead Congregation.
Couldn't pick a favourite, it's been a great decade!!!
In no particular order,
Immolation - Atonement
Necros Christos - Domedon Doxomedon
Apocalypse Command - Damnation Scythes of Invincible Abomination
Diocletian - Gesundrian
Perdition Temple - The Tempter's Victorious
Suffocation - Of The Dark Light
Bolzer - Hero
Blood Incantation - Starspawn
Power Trip - Nightmare Logic
Grave Miasma - Endless Pilgrimage
Cruciamentum - Charnel Passages
Ghost - Meloria
A decade is any arbitrary run of ten years, regardless of start and end date, so the eighties does indeed cover 1980-89. 2005-2015 is a decade. A 'calendar' decade is from the ---1 date to the ---0 date, so this 'decade ends at the end of 2020.
That's incorrect. 2010 to end of 2019 is the calendar decade. By your reckoning an album released in 1990 should be considered an 80s album. That simply doesn't make sense.
There's nothing I can say to that that wouldn't be repeating myself, suffice it to say you haven't read the previous post properly.

Thread isn't called "Album of the CALENDAR Decade", so yeah :abbath:
Since the thread title was best album, not best albums (this would indeed need a long list), I'll say that I find it very difficult to choose between...
Bölzer - Hero
YOB - Clearing The Path To Ascend
Pallbearer - Foundations of Burden
Vektor - Terminal Redux
Oranssi Pazuzu - Valonielu
Gospel of the Witches - Salem's Wounds
(and probably others I can't recall right now)
...for second place.
But, all things considered, Tribulation's Formulas of Death was the album behind the greatest amount of sheer musical wonder and bliss over the last decade. I don't know what classic would get booted for it, but I know it deserves and would justly get a place in my top 5 metal albums of all time.
Forgot about Foundations of Burden, gonna stick that on to finish the evening.

(https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/612BvzzX85L._SX355_.jpg)
Agree with the Sheperd's shout for 'Formulas..', ..landmark, iconic, momentous, .. Fits the bill for an album for the decade alright but then again I'm waiting for people to throw up titles I can get behind, can't even fathom trying to unravel the last ten years worth of Metal.
Just looking through everyone's shouts there, can also get with Obscura's ' Omnivium', Primordial's 'Exile..' ( though it took me a good few listens to get there): and a couple of ferocious Napalm records....
Hmmm.
I actually ignored Formulas for a while when it came out,i loved the first albim,when i heard they moved on from the more death/thrash sound i was a bit sceptical.
But yeah Formulas is a modern masterpiece,still havent caught them live either!

Judas Priest's Firepower might be a contender for some...? After that, depends on how established or BIG you mean. Here and elsewhere, I've seen Candlemass and Carcass in some lists, Mastodon in others. But yeah, not really surprising not to see much representation for the big four who started in the mid-80s or the original originals who started even earlier!
Yeah tradional big four and the big three in England I meant, yep not surprising at all given the passage of time but worth highlighting all the same
Ridiculous, and we all thought they were ol codgers when they said it goes fast..
Morbus Chron's Sweven could also tussle for the number two slot.

It's safe to assume that because one wasn't specified, we're discussing your arch nemesis, namely 2010 to 2019...
Jesus lads, I gave you a link explaining it all!
By convention of language, it should be obvious that noone is asking you what the best album of the 202nd decade is! Just like you've never, ever told anyone what you think the best album of the 199th decade is! No, there's a "best album" of the 80s (overlapping but not coinciding with the 199th decade) and now there'll be a best album of the "teens". Get over your "smarts".

Another two that just popped into my mind
Hell - Human Remains and the Howling Sycamore debut
I forgot all about Ulcerate. Three great albums this decade!
Vermis being my favourite of theirs.
Deathspell Omega - Paracletus.
Wings of Predation was the first song of theirs I heard and hooked me there and then.
A lot of great albums here. Some I must revisit. One of the albums that blew me away was A Umbra Omega by Dodheimsgard. An absolute monster of an album. Complex and listenable and just flows brilliantly.
I actually thought Zemial's Nykta was an excellent album too.
In no particular order except for number 1...
Tim Hecker - Virgins
Daughters - You Won't Get What you Want
Artificial Brain - Labyrinth Constellation
Altar of Plagues - Teethed Glory and Injury
Unyielding Love - The Sweat of Our Augury
Power Trip - Nightmare Logic
Full of Hell & Merzbow - Full of Hell & Merzbow
Cattle Decapitation - The Anthropocene Extinction
Deftones - Diamond Eyes
Tim Hecker - Ravedeath 1972
Good shout on Artificial Brain, for sure.
Another of my favourites and maybe my Black Metal album of the decade
NOCTERNITY harps of the ancient temples.
Mesmeric.
Spawn of Possession - Incurso.
Judas Priest: Firepower was immense.
Bölzer: Hero
Howling Sycamore debut
Gunship s/t
Solstice: To Sol a Thane ep
Stargazer: A merging
Vektor: Outer Isolation and Terminal
Sacral Rage: Illusuions in the infinite void
Eternal Champion: Armor of Ire
Cynic: Kindly Bent & Carbon Based
Graven Rite: The Summoner's Pit
Hard to pick one..all class
Albums:
Inglorious - Inglorious I
Avantasia - Mystery of Time
Avantasia - Ghostlights
Judas Priest - Firepower
Iron Maiden - Book of Souls
Tours:
Iron Maiden - Maiden 88 / 7th Son History Tour
Iron Maiden - Book of Souls
Avantasia - Mystery of Time
I've been (over)thinking about this, but I would maybe go with
Rebirth of Nefast, Tabernaculum
Bölzer, Hero
For the scope, density and artistic ambition and execution.
Destroyer 666, Wildfire, because it's heavy metal as fuck.
Been thinking about this the last few days and I keep arriving at the same conclusion. Macabre Omen - Gods of War at War. Vision, creativity, songwriting, musicianship, lyrics - it can't be beaten. An epic album in every sense of the word, and a true classic.
In a scene where incredible albums are released every month it can be hard to pick true classics, but this one is set in stone.

I've never spent time with this, but I really should.
It works very well when paired with the Nocternity album mentioned earlier in this thread too.

Been aware of this band in name but never checked them out - thought it was a PM band for some reason. Just threw this on and it sounds amazing a few songs in. Nice one Aaron
Never got into that Macabre Omen. It seemed to get plaudits across the board at the time. Nothing about it grabbed me. Maybe I will revisit it and try and discover what I've evidently been missing.
QuoteIron Maiden - Book of Souls
Dreadful album. How it could be on anyone's album of the decade list beggars belief. There really is some absolutely horrific material on there even by maidens standards. I will give that the earlier part contains some cool tracks, Eternity, Great unknown etc although the better tracks only serve to remind you of former glories. Tears of a clown is catastrophic, toe curling to the extreme, Empire of the clouds completely insufferable- those two alone negate it being on any end of year list.
Mine is Column of Heaven's "Mission From God". Pretty much nailed everything I like about various forms of extreme music in one place, set the blueprint for what Full of Hell are doing now in the process.
That Macabre Omen is unreal. It was in my MI top 3 of the year when it came out. Perfect combination of epic era Bathory and Greek BM. I don't know if I'd say it's the best album of the decade but it's well worth checking out if you've never heard it.
Tribulation - Formulas of Death is a good shout. I think a lot of us in Ireland had a good vantage point into that record being such a leap forward for the band, what with the Invictus connection. It's just a great, atmospheric, well-rounded album.
Other ones that stand out for me:
Vektor - Terminal Redux (the ultimate rebirth of technical thrash?)
Artificial Brain - Infrared Horizon (a high water mark of brutal, technical, ambitious deathgrind in the 2010s)
Caladan Brood - Echoes of Battle (gorgeous, epic metal with literary inspiration only topped by Summoning back in their prime)
Altar of Plagues - Mammal (sounding completely out on its own)
Mourning Beloveth - Formless (possibly their best record coming almost 20 years after their forming)
Castevet - Mounds of Ash (one of the most cathartic records ever written in that style).
I'm forgetting loads but honourable mentions to Funeral Presence - The Archer Takes Aim and Funeral Mist - Hekatomb for great twists on the orthodox BM front too.
COH's 'Mission from God' is pinnacle stuff in that style. Even the length of the record is pretty much perfect.

Horses for courses. I loved BNW and BOS whereas AMOLAD and TFF did absolutely nothing for me. BOS also brought a great Eddie with a classic stage set. All in all a great package.
I'd have more time for BNW, some great stuff on it, they sounded somewhat rejuvenated on that album. Everything else has been a go through the motions affair.

There is an argument that BNW is the most important metal album of the decade ... a reunion with Bruce and Adrian, a return to form, the start of Ed Force One, it kicked off a decade of history tours and studio albums. Sure there are better albums, but to reunite and kick off the decade ahead it was a brilliant statement.
Tribulation Formulas of Death. Easily my favourite album of the decade.
Formless and the new Primordial would surely get a look in for album of the decade but I'm not really sure how I'd even begin to compile any sort of list. Some other brilliant albums mentioned like stuff by Macabre Omen and Nocternity, maybe Belus or Fallen too (what years were they?), Dautha would probably be up there, Rebirth of Nefast and the most recent Slidhr... A lot of what I've been listening to lately is stuff from the 90s which I've been digging into so I'm a little out of touch with more recent releases.
Skepticism's 'Ordeal' might very well be near the top of the pile for me, actually.
Malokarpatan!

Fuck, yeah, might well be the blood, fire, beer, piss , vinegar, horns and wrecked neck album of the decade.
Absolutely loved this when it came out. Saw them imperious live a couple of times. Then the whole candles and cloaks thing got saturated to fuck and it seemed to get lost a little. But still, listening back now its a brilliant melodic black metal album full of catchy numbers and a sort of 70's rock swagger thrown in for good measure.
CULT OF FIRE -, triumvirat
Forgive me if I missed it but..given the fuss made over them at the time, very surprised noone mentioned these:
Negative Plane "Stained Glass Revelations"
In Solitude "Sister"
Beastmilk "Climax"
other stuff that springs to mind:
Full of Hell "Trumpeting Ecstacy"
Godflesh "Posthuman"
Drowned "Idola Specus"
Blood Incantation "Starspawn"
Thantifaxath "Sacred White Noise"
Anything Malthusian did pretty much.
Stained Glass Revelations could definitely be a contender, in my head I was putting it before 2010 because it feels like it's been around so long.
Climax though, for all that it's an immensely enjoyable listen, isn't exactly meaty or layered enough to be "album of the decade" material for me.
Forgot about the Beastmilk album actually. Still Formulas though.
To add to Negative Plane, Tribulation, In Solitude, Nocternity, Bolzer and a few more mentioned:
Cultes des Ghoules - Henbane
Lvcifyre - Svn Eater
Ride For Revenge - Under The Eye
Grave Miasma - Odori
Antediluvian - Through the Cervix of Howerya
Grave Upheaval - Untitled I
Revenge - Scum.Collapse.Eradication
Swallowed - Lunaterial
Deathspell Omega - Paracletus
Dødsengel - Mirium Occultum
Gorguts - Colored Sands
Defeated Sanity - Passages Into Deformity
There's plenty more but I've lost interest.
EDIT: Regained some interest.
Jaysus,"Lunarterial" for sure.
What was I thinking selling you my Swallowed shirt!
If it helps at all, I can't find it.
Fuck yeah... Lunarterial. Unreal album.

Promulgation of the Fall and Odori Sepulcrorum stick out right away. Will probably think of ten others the second I hit post.
THAT'S TWO! JESUS FUCKING CHRIST, ARE YOU NOT ABLE TO READ????
Everyone else made bigger lists :'(
We're all in agreement that Supercollider was THE album of the decade though, right?
Gun to my head ,Dead Congregation- Promulgation of the fall is the album of the decade for me.
I had fun putting together my list the last few months - didn't take it too serious, but enjoyed spending times with albums I loved for a few months 8 years ago etc.
These were the Top20, in no order. Some good shouts in this thread of things I forgot.
Blood Revolt - Indoctrine

Sacriphyx, Satan - Life Sentence, Horrendous, Cultes Des Ghoules all released albums that I still really enjoy too.
Also arguments about what constitutes a decade and about people posting multiple albums are deadly, keep up the good work.
Wolves In The Throne Room - Celestial Lineage (2011)
That would be easily THE DEVIL'S BLOOD - The thousandfold Epicentre (2011) IMO. I would personally say the best album of the 2000's music and lyricwise.

Actually, two more to add and that's it....
Tal'set - La Via Del Guerrero (2012)
Enisum - Arpitanian Lands (2015)
One of the most interesting albums I remember going back to a lot was StarGazer 'A Merging To The Boundless'. Like a perfect mix of Morbid Angel, King Diamond, Atheist and Ved Buens End. Serious bass playing, the lyrics and artwork also really suit the bizarre nature of the tunes.
I only know The Scream that Tore the Sky, but that's a fairly accurate description.
Edit - s'up Mr. B. Nazgul!
The Ruins of Beverast - Blood Vaults - The Blazing Gospel of Heinrich Kramer
Blood Vaults is fuckin lethal to be fair, was only shown it a year or so ago but it got plenty of spins. Must fire it on again
The Ruins of Beverast are bloody hell fecking amazing. That music gives me the chills in the best ways....
Agreed. Foulest Semen still his most powerful imo, but a really impressive catalogue of work overall.
I can't seem to get into them on record but they are fantastic live.
Unlock the Shrine or Exuvia for me. Incredible stuff. The tunes on the two latest splits are savage as well.
Exuvia followed by Rain Upon the Impure for me but pretty much all TROB is class. The track on the MB is split is deadly must give the other split a deeper listen though.
Good shout on Stargazer too - can't go wrong with any of their albums.
