2011 marked some monumental releases that have definitely placed bands on everyone’s radar, which is killer to see. So to recap, we compiled a list of records that stood out to us as nothing short of amazing (It was tough to narrow it down to 50). Cast your vote (you can vote for 3 bands, only once a day) and let us (and our other readers) know who you loved this year!!  Hails.

Polls will close on Thursday, January 26th at midnight.

    Autopsy, Skeletonwitch and Vreid. The other 47 are mostly crap, save for maybe one or two others.

    There’s a few (literally “a few” good albums here IMO. Top three for me are 1. Trivium – IN WAVES 2. In Flames – SOUNDS OF A PLAYGROUND FADING 3. Draconian – A ROSE FOR THE APOCALYPSE …in that order.

    No Anthrax? No Krisiun? No REVOCATION ? ? ? ? ? ? ? But it is all opinion and limited to 50.
