2017 is finally over and, unsurprisingly, was another great year for metal music. While my personal musical tastes have been far less extreme this time around the sun, I still kept tabs on some of my favorite heavy releases of the past 12 months. Chances are you’ve heard, or at least heard others talk about these albums, so I won’t bore you with the details. Here’s to another great year in 2018!
