Today: The Staff of MetalSucks Counts Down Our Favorite Metal Albums of 2013!!!

And so we come again to that wonderful time of year, when bloggers and music journalists everywhere suffer from mass panic attacks as they attempt to stuff as many of their favorite albums from the past twelve months onto one list, while readers everywhere scream and rage at those choices. It is completely ridiculous. It is also one of our favorite parts of doing this job.

Thus, today, seventeen inhabitants of The MetalSucks Mansion will each list their fifteen favorite (mostly) metal albums of the year. (We strongly believe in diversity of opinion, which is why we never do a “collective” year-end list here at MetalSucks.) Regular programming will return tomorrow. In the meantime, we hope you’ll join us in celebrating this year’s finest releases in extreme music. And if you don’t enjoy it, we’re sure you’ll think of plenty of ways to let us know in the comments section.

-Axl, Vince, and Everyone at MetalSucks
