L'enfant Sauvage is one of my favourite metal albums of all time, glad to see Sam feels similarly.

[@MrJoshItIs]

It would be on mine as well, along with Vektor, MGLA (who they didn't seem to like as much....I like Misphyrming but MGLA is quite a bit better IMO, Zhrine is the better Icelandic BM band). Power Trip deserves their spot IMO. I even think Behemoth deserves to be mentioned even if it isn't my top 10. I was just surprised it was #1. ....as a huge Tool fan from the beginning, FI doesn't deserve the spot I don't think. Its good, maybe great, but too much hype or anticipation and there is just too many great records that earned it and made bold statements. If you really want to make bold statements with BM, how about Deathspell Omega - Paracletus? That isn't 2nd wave sounding at all. And also way better than Misphyrming (and I like them).

That album introduced me to Gojira. To this day no artist introduction has impacted me the way my first listen of Explosia did. Listened to the title track right after, then dove into their discography and saw them headline to support the album with Tesseract and Car Bomb (still my favorite concert experience by far). They've been my favorite band since.

This is obviously a very debatable list that cannot be made easily, but I have to speak up for "The Sciences" for Sleep. Personally, it is the very embodiment of a comeback album and does it far better than FIREPOWER and Fear Inoculum. But that's just my opinion...

[@VomitRottenn]

Not to mention it released on 4/20. What an incredible band.

[@jamisonr]

Enslaved's "Axioma Ethica Odini" came out September 2010, and for the first half of the decade, was probably my most listened to album. Their album RIITIIR came out in 2012, and 5 of the 8 songs are fantastic. I think I'd put it in my top 10 too. In 2011 they released an EP "The Sleeping Gods", and it has three songs that I must have listed to a thousand times on various runs (Heimvegen, Disintegrator, Striker). And yes, Enslaved is one of my favorite bands of all time, so there is a bit of a bias there.

That album is just pure perfection. Only album that I miss from this list is Rotting Christs "Rituals". As for me, that album also is and will be one of the iconic Metal albums ever, like those you guys mentioned and it belongs to the same place as those albums I mentioned....

This is why I like Banger TV. It's audience and style is so diverse from my own, I get a good feel for what others like, but it also makes me feel out of touch with what the cool kids listen to. I literally heard thousands and thousands of Metal albums released in that decade (I track it on iTunes) and I only heard five of the Top 15. :( Although, the numbers say there were over 70,000 (yes, 70,000 not a typo) full-length studio albums released that decade so it is not surprising that most people only heard a small percentage of that. Even if you heard say...7000 albums over the decade that still only 10% of the total output, so yeah... these top lists, while really fun and cool are almost becoming useless because there is so much material. Lots more to discover I guess! Good job!

[@VomitRottenn]

The quest of discovering good bands is never ending now that we are well into the internet age now. We are able to find very obscure and typically inaccessible stuff to most with the tap of a finger, so it's totally understandable to have a lot going under our radars when we actively try not to allow it regardless. I can say from experience that using Bandcamp has been pivotal in my discoveries, I have 900+ albums in my wishlist and I buy an album or two every month. They all span every nook and cranny of subgenres and it feels like an encyclopedia of quality new metal, and there's no excuse to miss anything because labels send notifications the moment an album gets announced! It's seriously amazing.

I've been in the dark too long still listening to bands I've like for the past 10-15 years... I need something new, I've always liked the sound of gojira but just ignored them, after watching this I've gone and got 2 of there album and the Rivers of Nihil one featured on this list...time for something new! Great channel, real metal from different aspects of the genre!

[@christianr1240]

My #1 is Insomnium's Winter's Gate. Most people have slept on this album. I also would mention Iron Maiden - Book Of Souls Havok - Conformocide and honestly, I really loved August Burns Red's album called Rescue and Restore

[@TheHortoncrow]

The Satanist is one of my all time favorite albums. Ever. Was hoping for top ten.

[@giladbaruch147]

As much as I love priest, the best albums by super-oldschool bands of the decade are: 1.Overkill - Ironbound 2. Testament - Dark Roots of Earth 3.Accept - Blood of the Nations 4. Satan - Life Sentence 5. Judas Priest - FIREPOWER One honorable mention goes to Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats -Blood Lust Thats how Ghost should sound like

[@Faerie_Kim]

Yes to Overkill and Testament. Great albums

[@l30S3UX]

[@giladbaruch147]

@@l30S3UX It's not the channel but the viewers. It is still one of the best 2010's lists (and magazines) around. Picking Vektor for no.3 is well deserved for the other members. I hope Sarah will have a chance to speak about her's top albums.

[@jonhumphreys7498]

Nice to see some Demon Hunter on a list. I loved that album! Extol's self-titled was my number 1 of the decade.

[@mikeygee7]

Is pressing a genre forward required for an album to be good? I don't think so.

[@Valp85]

I think my three honorable mentions would be Cult of Luna & Julie Christmas - Mariner Enslaved - Riitiir aaand as my third I'm really torn between picking Stam1na - Viimeinen Atlantis or Zeal & Ardor - Stranger Fruit

[@ediblebeautyofartnouveau]

To me Mariner is the number one spot. Such a unique sound, such intense atmosphere, such amazing songwriting

[@steelhorseclub]

No High On Fire? Surely an oversight.

[@somberlainnn9883]

My top 10 10) At The Gates - At War With Reality 9) Abigail Williams - Walk Beyond The Dark 8) Gorguts - Coloured Sands 7) Horrendous - Idol 6) Infant Annihilator - The Battle Of Yaldabaoth 5) Power Trip - Nightmare Logic 4) Deafheaven - Sunbather 3) Bell Witch - Mirror Reaper 2) Behemoth - The Satanist 1) Horrendous - Ecdysis

Hey Sam, awesome video, I totally agree with you about carcass. I do also think that dying fetus deserves to be up there as well, reign supreme was such an amazing album musically, but I do realize that not all death metal albums will end up in the top 10. Keep the metal faith alive \m/

My personal favorites (not much super heavy stuff, some are borderline rock) High on Fire - Snakes for the Divine Black Trip - Radar Uncle Acid - Bloodlust Graveyard - Hisingen Blues Watain - Lawless Darkness Accept - Blood of the Nations Hällas - Excerpts from a future past Jex Thoth - Blood Moon Rise

MetalManiac wish Jon Nodveidt was still around. Dissection was my favorite melodic black metal band. 2nd dimmu borgir. Hypocrisy needs to reunite.

[@Quilly1]

Great commentary on a list that is worlds away from my own favorites. I must be the only person who thought The Satanist was the beginning of the end for Behemoth; it was like they were finally finished building their big new house of death metal and were proud to show it off, and I preferred the albums they made when they were still building the house and you could hear them figuring it out as they went. If that makes any sense. Biggest omissions for me were: Blood Incantation: Starspawn High on Fire: Snakes for the Divine Thou: Summit Conjurer: Mire Hooded Menace: Effigies of Evil Yob: Our Raw Heart

[@DaveTheTrain]

At points they do. He probably meant the similar themes, about the earth, ocean and geological history

[@orangeunderscore]

They don’t sound too similar but I’m a huge fan of both bands. Both vocalists have similarities, especially their clean vocals. I feel like The Ocean is more of a mix between Tool and Gojira.

[@apoplexiamusic]

I was really surprised by Gojira's The Gift of Guilt, the main riff had this 2012 brostep kinda vibe with the huge pitch bends and harmonics, but it sounds so awesome, and the shifting drum patterns make that much more complex and rewarding to listen to! awesome stuff! It's also quite surprising that there was no Djent at all in the top 10, cuz that sound seems to have redefined metal in the last decade! I guess most viewers here (myself included) prefer that more organic metal sound
