Best Metal Albums 2024!

[@NikNocturnal]

What are the best metal albums of 2024?? Comment below how wrong or right I am :D

[@scry5]

one i would add is By Dregg- The Art Of Everything

[@Remorse9.9.91]

My guy where's thrown excessive guilt 😂

[@centralia83]

What about like moths to flames- the cycles of trying to cope was my favorite album of 2024 followers by as I lay dying- through storms ahead

[@SamuelStudios]

I'm just super happy to see Darkest Hour get some credit here

[@Kelly30stm]

Darko - Starfire is still on repeat.

[@lupomikti]

I don't see others mentioning it so I'll push that Fit For An Autopsy's album definitely deserves to be highlighted, just one of the best in the whole year, no songs on it I'd even think about skipping and a few I can't help sing along to. Red Horizon and Lower Purpose are standouts for me; Spoils of the Horde, Lurch, Savior of None / Ashes of All, Hostage - all bangers

[@danielescobardiaz]

It was literally my top one along Vulvodynia's Entabeni, Wormed's Omegon and Cephalotripsy

[@RumandCocaine]

I only listen to red horizon but that's about it, loved the previous album tho

[@kilowog9602]

With Like Moths To Flames's one, this is my album of the years. FFAA had 3 albums in a row so f amazing

[@jubberbuzz5042]

Literally insane fucking album

[@TeamTechSkaters]

Their album is my fav this year

[@zynnertime]

Boundaries is still on repeat and will be for the foreseeable future. Also shoutout Fit For an Autopsy

[@nightwingofblud]

Couldn't agree with a comment anymore than this, Boundaries AOTY, and fit for an autopsy actually killed it this year too

Frrr the cycles of trying to cope are my favorite album from them lol

[@kilowog9602]

@@AirRedbox Not even close to be their weakest. My opinion is that this album is their second best (No Eternity in Gold is my 1* pick). Over the garden wall is their best song and their worst album is The Dying Things We Live For. Not bad but the most forgetteable. They have no bad album

[@paulfaulkner2855]

As A long time Opeth fan, don't like much after Watershed but I thought this album was incredibly boring and returned it after 3 listens. Blood Incantation smokes the new Opeth.

[@archenemy2242]

Fit For An Autopsy's The Nothing That Is album is the album i keep going back to listen to. Banger after banger on that record. And anything Disembodied Tyrant is just god-tier good as well. Oh, also Wintersun released the favored Time-II album after over a decade of waiting. I keep going back to listen to that one too

[@spencerdeeks2051]

For me, Borknagar's Fall is my album of the year. Love the progressive flares in the songs with the harsh black metal screams and beautiful clean singing

I'd probably also put Like Moths to Flames somewhere on there, and Thrown. I feel like Thrown's album just got kind of slept on because a lot of the tracks were already released as singles, but that doesn't change the fact that they were all straight bangers.

I wonder where PLot in You would be if all 9 songs was released as an album with perhaps an extra or two songs. To be honest Spotify doesen't even consider them EP's, because they are only 3 songs with less than 15 minutes of music, so they are just singles.

Something I love about From Zero (aside from the music and nostalgia) is that it's a breezy 32 minutes long. During a slow period at work, I can queue it up on Spopoopifoo and rip right through it. There's been some days I've listened to it three times in a shift. Upcoming in 2025: new Bloodywood. New Gojira (an educated wish). New Jinjer. New Spiritbox. New HÄMATOM (an NDH band of which I've become a big fan). It's gonna be a good year for fun metal things!

Cane Hill, Imminence, Windwaker albums???

[@shiningsun4023]

Darko rocked my world this year and Avralize did the same. Poppy was also lovely. But also Sir Bilmuri made me vibe a bunch so kudos to him!❤

I'm not the biggest Judas Priest fan - like I'm not going to skip it if it comes on, but I'm not seeking it out - however I have to admit Rob Halford is SEVENTY-THREE and he sounds incredible. Dude knows how to take care of his voice. Listen to other singers from his era that also sing higher register- Jon Bon Jovi, Steve Perry, Axl Rose, Vince Neil - none of them can sing their old songs anymore.

If you like heavier fast music painkiller is perfect, Im not a fan of their slower stuff but painkiller is one of my fav albums

He's a legend

My top 5 for cool kids: - Job for a Cowboy: Moon Healer - In Vain: Solemn - Kami no Ikari: See You in Hell - Gaerea: Coma - Ihsahn: Ihsahn

Candy's It's Inside You is something else, personally. Probably my favorite album of 2024, because It's Inside You is really what Code Orange could've had been instead of selling-out with The Above.

You need to check out the rest of Blood Incantation’s discography! They are a phenomenal death metal band (with one space ambient album as well)! My album of the year for metal is from a melodic blackened death metal band called Kanonenfieber. They are a German extreme metal band that is themed around World War I, and even if you don’t know German, their songs are incredibly catchy!

So happy Darkest Hour is getting some love and attention. Such a good band

[@CaptainBangief]

Boundaries definitely deserves album of the year. I'm shocked at how low their spotify monthly listener count is, they deserve to be up there with Kublai Khan and Knocked Loose in my opinion. Good picks in general Nik. Diamond Construct, Job for a Cowboy, Black Dahlia Murder, Darkest Hour, BMTH I also really liked the albums by The Browning Darko US Foreign Hands SeeYouSpaceCowboy Fit For an Autopsy Like Moths To Flames 156/Silence Bilmuri I also listened to Dying Wish a lot last year, but that came out in late 2023 Looking forward to 2025, and what new metal music we will get to hear.

[@laurenfaye82]

im excited for next year! spiritbox, architects, dayseeker, motionless in white, and im sure im missing some

[@HybidhaAhmed]

Imminence and as I lay dying new album is the best album in 2024 for sure

[@camdenhochgesang6554]

For me it’s You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To as an easy number 1. Second would be Exhibition of Prowess and 3rd The Gcode. Vile Conduct was good. Kinda basic I know, but I just wasn’t really excited about anything else in 2024. 2025 should be a better year for me with new Whitechapel and Shadow of Intent alone.

2024 is a jampacked year of metal where you could literally go in so many directions with a top list and you would STILL leave somebody worthwhile out. My vote for overlooked is Nile but there is an impossible amount of choices

[@Mintyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy]

another thing about boundaries new record is that matt's lyricism really shines on it too. some of the most saddest and tragic lyrics I've ever heard. (blame's burden still makes me weep)

[@tomatomtom4921]

Pretty surprised about blood incantation and darkest hour 😲 Also JFAC was overlooked by so many

[@captainpringles1173]

Y’all need to see the diamond construct guitarist fuck up the pedalboard. Goes crazy. Loved that album
