2010 thrashed and thrived in the metal scene, (despite the deaths and illness) and I was hoping Necrophagist would sneak in and sucker punch their way into the top three, but I guess we'll have to wait until next year. 

10) Unrequited and Unscathed - Terrorhorse 

Metal heads from London, Ontario make a head-splitting debut album. The ablum reveals technical thrash traits with a heavy groove sound, that would give any n00b carpel tunnel syndrome in an instant. The album also carries raw, bone crushing vocals that would strip a man naked with the force of a tsunami.

9) Bloody Pit of Horror - Gwar

Gwar made an  appearance in my top 10 last year, winning it all in the #1 slot. It's awesome to see a band with over a dozen studio albums  (BPoH is their 13th) still rocking out and staying well into their prime.

8) Misled By Certainty - Cephalic Carnage

You guys didn't think I'd leave Cephalic Carnage standing outside in the cold did you? Misled By Certainty is yet another first-class experimental grindcore album with touches of tech  expertise, death metal and groove.

7) Infernal Earthly Divine - Crucifyre 

Crucifyre sneaking out of no where and shooting out insane black metal music at your face. It leaves me thinking where the fuck did these guys come from?? I didn't get an email, postcard, phonecall.. Nothing!

6) Jupiter - Athiest

Atheist is a technical death metal band from Florida, founded in 1984, whose music combines metal riffs with subtle latin music arrangements. It took 17 years for this album to come out since their 3rd studio album 'Elements'. The only thing that gets me in the time-length fans waited 17 years and we get a little over half an hour of an album.

5) Manical Miscreation - Cerebral Bore

Cerebral Bore hails from Glasgow, Scotland and is a four piece Brutal Death Metal band. This album carries song of the year "Entombed In Butchered Bodies". The next "Hammer Smashed Face" [Cannibal Corpse] in the death metal genre. This album strikes #5 just because of that one hit wonder.

4) Kvelertak - Kvelertak

Kvelertak is a six-piece rock band from Stavanger, Norway. All lyrics are written in Norwegian, the band's native language, and concerning Norse mythology/Viking folklore. This self-titled album displays a bunch of different sub-metal genres which makes it superb for any metal fan.

3) Heirs To Thievery - Misery Index 

Heirs To Thievery is the fourth full length album by American deathgrind band Misery Index. It was released by Relapse Records on May 11, 2010. As always this album serves fast, brutal and vile death/grind core as always.

2) Polarity - Decrepit Birth 

Decrepit Birth is a death metal band from Santa Cruz, California, USA, signed to Nuclear Blast. I like how techical Polarity is, their last two albums are standard death metal, but Polarity is faster, better played and more technical. If they were testing the waters (so to speak) they did a great job.

1) Crossing the Rubicon - House of Thumbs

This album is insane, a trully underated epic Aussie metal album. The riffs and drums in this album are so heavy, it would leave you thinking their was a frag grenade inside your chest. I had the decency of beta-testing some tracks back in early 09' and from the first listen I knew these guys had something good about them. Cheers, you crazy Aussie bastards!
