Since israel is pretty much a fascist regime I don't dee the logic in your comment. Playing in Israel is in fact 1 step closer to be a shitty person and a fascist (or a nazi). Can't stand to zionists. They really are dangerous and pro apartheid but nobody seems to see that. Also (preventively), don't call antizionists "antisemites" because that's the WORST point about that argument. I deeply hate israeli zionists and meanwhile I see nothing wrong being a jew person.

[@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).

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!

[@NoWeakRiffs]

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.

[@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

[@simond1574]

In no particular order Alcest - Ecailles de lune Wintersun - The Forest Seasons Wilderun - Veils of Imagination Saor - Guardians Amorphis - Queen of TIme Arch/Matheos - Winter Ethereal Baroness - Yellow&Green Gojira - L'enfant sauvage Insomnium - Shadows of the Dying Sun Iron Maiden - The Book of souls Myrkur - Mareridt The Ocean - Pelagial Panopticon - Autumn Eternal

[@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

[@kristiankrastanov5995]

Some good albums in part 2, excited to watch!

[@steven8000]

Let's not forget the 5 albums and an EP from Revocation :(

[@adamcastillo3976]

Rusty Shackleford Deathless was on my top 10!

[@steven8000]

@@adamcastillo3976 Same! It was even my vote for the list.

[@ranoljuta3543]

Somebody forget REVOCATION....just fucking wrong.....so wrong...

[@NoWeakRiffs]

Revocation has been some of the most forward thinking death metal to exist. The Outer Ones will be remembered fondly for years to come, and will always be amazing.

[@NoWeakRiffs]

@Sidharth Subramanian Dave and Dan are such a flawless duo, their individual styles complement each other very nicely. You can tell Dan is a prog death nerd at heart with Artificial Brain and you can see clear as day from the first album that Dave was influenced by the 80s thrash and death metal scene. They have covered some of the best old school artists like Slayer, Exhorder, and even Death. They nailed them out of the park. I could praise this band til the cows come home.

[@danielpiesto532]

My best albums of the decade: Mgła - Age of Excuse Atlantean Kodex: THe White Goddess Ufomammut - Opus Alter

[@TheHortoncrow]

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

[@19tc85]

Very late to the party, but here I go: 10. Be’lakor - Vessels 9. Cattle Decapitation - Monolith of Inhumanity 8. Enslaved - Axioma Ethica Odini 7. Cult of Luna - A Dawn To Fear 6. Ulcerate - The Destroyers of All 5. Moonsorrow - Jumalten Aika 4. Mgła - Exercises in Futility 3. Converge - All We Love We Leave Behind 2. Slugdge - Esoteric Malacology 1. Slow - V-Oceans

[@steelhorseclub]

No High On Fire? Surely an oversight.

[@pascalcooper4518]

There's several omitted that I would put above any here. Soulfly - Enslaved. Exodus - Exhibit B: The Human Condition. Devil Driver - Beast. Superjoint Ritual - Caught up in the Gears of Application. Machine Head - Unto the Locust & Bloodstone and Diamonds.

[@rohanjith2298]

I think banger missed the entire point of why mgła album was timeless Its the depth of the lyrics!!!

[@dal.890]

My list 1, Agalloch - The Marrow of the Spirit (2010) 2, Loss - Despond (2011) 3, Pallbearer - Sorrow and Extinction (2012) 4, Deafheaven - Sunbather (2013) 5, Yob - Clearing the Path to Ascend (2014) 6, Oranssi Pazuzu - Varahtalia (2016) 7, Couch Slut - My Life As A Woman (2014) 8, Disma - Towards the Megalith (2011) 9, Indian - From All Purity (2014) 10, Wolves in the Throne Room - Celestial Lineage (2011) Not to mention Thou, Elder, Mournful Congregation's amazing decades. Great albums from Horrendous and Artificial Brain as well.

[@kdbrown777]

Great list, much closer to mine! Particularly with Pallbearer, Deafheaven, YOB (although I probably would have picked Our Raw Heart), Thou, and Elder (Lore especially for me).

[@gh87716]

Agalloch is an underrated band for sure. It would've been on my top five at least.

[@neuroisis85]

Better then Banger's weak ass list

[@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]

Great top five...but this channel doesnt really like HEAVY metal as you can see from the list

[@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.

[@stevesavage6583]

"I'm Sam Dunn and this is how I finish.... all..... my...... sentences."

[@missdead1]

haha! last word ......always...... in...... CAPS!

[@dal.890]

How the hell is Agalloch or Yob not mentioned?

[@mikeb4858]

Yob had album of the decade for me with ORH.

[@cROSSingth3RUBICon]

That Icelandic metal scene video was super helpful for me. I went to Iceland in July last year, and for my time there exclusively listened to music from their country, all of which I found in your video. Many months removed from the trip I am still listening to Audn and Solstifir pretty regularly now.

[@BangerTV]

Ross William awesome! A few people have said that, hope we can do more

[@RodolfoRogers1980]

My fave albums of the decade: 2010 - Ihsahn - “After” 2011 - Fleshgod Apocalypse - “Agony” 2012 - Cattle Decapitation - “Monolith Of Inhumanity” & Spawn of Possession - “Incurso” 2013 - Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult - “Necrovision” 2014 - Dead Congregation - “Promulgation Of The Fall” 2015 - Draconian - “Sovran” 2016 - Forteresse - “Thèmes Pour La Rébellion” 2017 - Archspire - “Relentless Mutation” 2018 - Sign Of The Jackal - “Breaking The Spell” 2019 - Blood Incantation - “Hidden History Of The Human Race”

[@skullkrusher4418]

Damn Meshuggah didn't even get in the runner ups/honorable mentions? I can't believe it. The last 2 Meshuggah albums have been flawless.

[@neobliviscaris3346]

good list, too bad Ne Obliviscaris isn't on here though.

[@thanostimestone6813]

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

[@hjl4754]

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/

[@GollyGoshSensation]

Batushka- Litourgiya Between the Buried and Me - Parallax II Devin Townsend - Empath All 3 of these albums are incredible and deserve a spot in at least the top 15

[@timkirsten6184]

"John Williams shakes hands with the devil." I loved that. Great pair of videos!

[@DaveTheTrain]

I was gonna reccomend The Ocean for Sam. I find they're one of the best metal bands at the mo, last two albums are nearly flawless and share similarities with Gojira and Tool but more varied

[@komlen95]

27:46 True. I have seen Behemoth live 3 days ago for the first time, and had familirar feeling that I have heard them live before . Great video!

[@heavymetalcripple]

Blayne doesn't know what he's talking about that Carcass album is sick. I like the magma album by Gojira a lot more. Sam was the most uncomfortable I've even seen talking about Mgla! Vektor was lit a bit long though and I haven't even heard Behemoth the satanist yet... Sleep the sciences was awesome and Hooded Menace I'm always spinning that vinyl it never gets old!

[@jordanaut]

Top 10 is too hard for me because there’s far too many to choose but my top 5 metal albums of the decade would be 5. Ne Obliviscaris - Portal of I 4. Gris - À l'âme enflammée, l'âme constellée... 3. Behemoth - The Satanist 2. Rivers of Nihil - Monarchy 1. Alcest - Kodama

[@omare_biketonature]

Colored Sands by Gorguts is my favorite album of the decade.

[@chrisviggers6857]

Nailed it with the mention of Power Trip. Some spicy riffs on that mutha!!

[@megaduck7965]

Seems a bit silly to go on about the Decap “controversy” when the accuser was proven to be a liar who’d tried to do the same thing to other bands previously .

[@geoffreychaucer1400]

I would watch the shit out of personal top 10 from each of Banger contributors

[@nisinduperera7130]

Yeah I was expecting something like that too

[@nipulkradmsinatagras8293]

Yes! Mgla - Exercises In Futility

[@dandandy1863]

Gorguts' Colored Sands is my pick for number one. Interesting takes on those albums though!

[@generationdead]

I didn't know that's what Gojira sounded like

[@mgonzalez8880]

Amazing.. spiritually and mentally lifting lyrics.. deserves the top spot by far.

[@VampireJack10]

Gojira are frickin' awesome.
