BangerTV | BEST METAL OF 2010 - 2019 Viewers vote PART ONE | Overkill Rewind 

"i do the old guys and he does the young guys" sounds like a hell of a night.

Best metal joke of the decade - when Blayne also was on his way to kill Euronymous.

I don't even like death metal, but I heard Rivers of Nihil in a playlist and their music has something so memorable, I can listen to the entire album and enjoy it. Speaks volumes for their musical talent. They are so good, they trancent the genre and bring new fans in.

Deafheaven is awesome. Fuck the haters. If music genres weren't allowed to evolve, blues would have never inspired rock, rock would have never inspired metal. Glad you guys acknowledge and respect the album even if it's not your cup of tea. 🤘

Listening to them talk about Nightmare Logic makes me sad there will never be another Power Trip disc with Riley. Rest In Power Riley.

So glad Power Trip made it on this list. Those boys deserve all the fame they can get. They’re one of the best metal bands I’ve heard in a long time.

Blayne and Brad single handedly helped discover soooooo many bands/albums one being Hooded Menace. and I’ve only subbed for two years. Keep it up.

Thanks so much for this video! These kinds of videos are really what radio stations used to be: places where you go to discover new music, to broaden your gaze and taste.

I’ve been getting into Metal music these past few days so I’m happy I found this channel today ‘cause I want to explore the genre some more 😊

As always, love the content, and finding something new. As soon as I heard that Sunbather clip, my hair stood on end... this is why I watch your show...

Thanks you guys! Great job. Now on to part two.

Thank you guys for your reviews. You both describe what we hear very accurately and honestly! Don’t stop

Great picks! I was surprised to see so many more underground bands on this list. That Bell Witch record is sooooo good.

Wow, so happy to see Mirror Reaper on the list. Well deserved, incredible album. I have listened to it many times through and never been bored, not once. Power Trip at 5? The community has not let us down!

You guys are awesome! This probably wont make your list, but the album I got the most enjoyment from is Swallow the Sun's album, Songs from the North. It's doom, it's epic and long, but check out The Gathering of Black Moths. I look forward to part 2.

The "blackgaze" sound is one that immediately made sense to me. I'm not even going to entertain the purist gatekeepers and their overly tight undies who claim it's not metal. I totally get why it doesn't appeal to some, but this offshoot of metal has been my style of the past decade. In the 80s it was thrash for me. In the 90s, it was discovering the Euro metal scene like Tiamat, the Gathering, etc, alongside black metal. The 00s were the one decade where nothing really jumps out as ear catching, so maybe that's why the 10s and blackgaze have been interesting to me. Moreover, it also feels like the last 3-4 years have just been a bombardment of great metal albums of all flavors and styles, so it's a great time to be alive for it.

Sam and Blayne switched their haircuts! The 2010's were indeed a great decade for metal, here's hoping the 2020's are even better.

Hell yeah! River of Nihil did great! Keep up the content, you guys have a nice variety for metal exploration.

Already a solid list. I'm looking forward to the rest of it.

I agree with everything. I don't want to comment spoilers. So I'm looking forward to the next one! Great job!

Dude! Judas Priest wrote an incredible ballad with “Beyond the Realms of Death”!!

Man, I´m so happy to see Mirror Reaper on this list! It was the best for me in that year

Agalloch Marrow of the Spirit

Thanks again for doing this guys! You opened portals for me I never would have found on my own. May Ronnie James Dio bless you all. :)

"What we do in the Shadows" reference!!! lol thumbs up!

Excellent thoughts and reviews

Oh! You did leave us wanting more... (like you said about the mighty Power Trip and their short, killer albums) Can't wait for part 2! ABBATH?!?!

I love this so much and agree with so many on this list! Long live BangerTV!

Ain't even know the list and I know I'm stoked

Love the 5 skulls for Power Trip!! This record got me back into crossover!🤘🤘brought me right back to seeing D.R.I. at The Ritz in 89' ✌ timeless sound.

I share the same views as Sam does on Tool's Fear Inoculum. It's still a great album though. Also, nice inclusion of Deafheaven's Sunbather. Sure, you don't like it but it's damn groundbreaking and influential. I love it.

"The physical effect it has on you emotionally..."

Even as a huge Tool fan and someone who enjoyed the album, it still really bums me out to see it on here when there were SO many more deserving choices.

Banger TV. The only show i continuously following here. Great.

Deafheaven needed to be on that list and I’m glad they are. Sunbather is amazing and I still get blown away when I hear Dreamhouse

Colored sands/Gorguts Our raw heart/YOB Hunted/Khemmis Surgical steel/Carcass Hidden history-Starspawn/Blood Incantation Nightmare logic/Power Trip Esoteric malacology/Slugdge Anareta/Horrendous Heartless/Pallbearer Slow forever/Cobalt

There's been so much great Metal this decade, any of these albums deserve to be on a list, as do many others. For me, though, Judas Priest's 'Firepower' really did give me a lot of repeat listens and consistent joy. I think it's a true late-career masterpiece from the band.

Can't believe I just watched 31 minutes of two funky looking guys talking about metal. Jokes aside, you guys did a good job on this video, I'll have to check some of these albums out as I only started listening to it in early 2019. If you're doing your job right, which you are, you're bound to make someone excited to dive into quality music. Color me excited, because that's what I am right now.

dame i miss the two of you in the same room! this is going to be great

Shit, Firepower, almost forgot about that one. Periodically get that crankin in the car, what a phenomenal album 🤘

Swing of the axe. Love it, great video guys. Metal is strong in the north

If you don't put Idol, it would be absolutely Horrendous.

Great vid guys!

Jason Becker - Triumphant Hearts (2018) is my favorite album of the decade. What an epic and legendary achievement.

Really need to stop procrastinating and get that goddamn Power Trip album! (Yes, I am that drunken 50 year old dude, Blayne.) I just keep hearing so much awesome stuff about it. Also, nice to see the Priest getting some love in this list. Happy new decade to the great folks at Banger, who do such a fantastic job. Much appreciated.

There have been a lot of great metal releases in the 2010s decade but Slugdge's Esotoric Malacology has been my favorite metal album since its release. It is just the embodiment of everything I love about metal. It is such a fresh listen. It is how metal should be.

Pallbearer, YOB, Monolord, High On Fire, Sleep are my favorites in last decade

Blayne gushing about mirror reaper is what I live for. His passion for the album and how excitedly he explains his reasoning is great to watch! I share your passion blaney boy

Deafheaven is a fantastic band. So are Alcest ( and Kodama could easily be on this list). They are both completely interesting in a genre were conformity to certain rules can make the music stale.

Greetings from Sonora, Mexico (Saludos desde Sonora, Mexico)

I expected Fear Inoculum on top 3 and Rivers of Nihil on top 5. Oh well, love the video :D

Run of the Mill by Judad Priest is an absolutely amazing ballad-y song. Reconsider listening to it!

Ihsahn had Saxophone all the way back in 2010, on the album "After". No knock on RIvers of Nihil, just saying.

1. Kreator - Phantom Antichrist 2012 2. Mastodon - Once More 'Round The Sun 2014 3. Mastodon - Emperor Of Sand 2017 4. Judas Priest - Firepower 2018 5. Tool - Fear Inoculum 2019 6. Iced Earth - Dystopia 2013 7. Accept - Blood Of The Nations 2010 8. Death Angel - The Evil Divide 2016 9. Body Count - Manslaughter 2014 & Bloodlust 2017 (Tie) 10. Blaze Bayley - Promise And Terror 2010 HM's: Orchid - Capricorn 2011 & The Mouths Of Madness 2013 Anthrax - Worship Music 2011 Slayer - Repentless 2015 (Underrated) Megadeth - Dystopia 2016 Geoff Tate's Sweet Oblivion - Sweet Oblivion 2019 Accept - Blind Rage 2014

The best use of the saxophone in metal is on Ihsahn’s 2010 album “After”

Got to see them open for Carcass right here in their very own hometown of Dallas last month. AND got to introduce both of those bands to a buddy of mine. Which was especially weird because he's obsessed with Napalm Death, and yet somehow completely missed out on Carcass until last month. Hahaha, bananas. Oh and a trash can got crowd surfed for a while. It really was like the most metal beach ball ever.

Hell yeah!! Power Trip is awesome 💪🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸 Really kick ass live🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Power Trip!!!!

Anciients deserve to be on the top 5, Power Trip definitely deserve their spot - well done

"Mire" by Conjurer. INSTANT CLASSIC.

Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats - “Blood Lust”

Between the Buried and Me, hope to see them in the next part!

I appreciate the honesty.

Tons and tons of great albums from the past 10 years but if I had to pick something that stands out on top for me, it would probably be Heliocentric and Anthropocentric by The Ocean. Heliocentric, in particular, is just amazingly special to me.

The people have spoken!! My list looks completely different. As well as many other fellow metalheads on here. One album that I cannot stop listening to is Allegaeon - Apoptosis. Although that is not my #1 of the decade.

My list in no particular order ! 1.Le'fant Sauvage - Gojira 2. The Migration - Scale the Summit 3. Let yourself be huge/ Woum - Cloudkicker 4. Koloss - Meshuggah 5. Portal of I - Ne Obliviscaris 6. Colored Sands/Pleiades dust - Gorguts 7. The direction of last things - Intronaut 8. The Sciences - Sleep 9. Once More around the sun - Mastodon 10. Love. Fear. and time machine - Riverside 11. Marrow of the Spirit - Agalloch 12. The Mountain - Haken 13. Return to Ommadawn - Mike Oldfield 14. Polaris - Tessearct 15. Woods 5: Grey Skies and Electric Night - Woods of Ypres 16. Conquering Dystopia - Conquesring Dystopia 17. The Assasination of Julius Ceasar - Ulver 18. The shape of colors /In time - Intervals 19. Stranger Heads Prevail - Thank You Scientist 20. Where Owl Knows my name - Rivers of Nihil 21. The Parallax 2: Future Sequence - BTBAM 22. Hand.Cannot.Erase - Steven Wilson 23. The Anthropocene Extinction - Cattle Dicapitation 24. King Animal - Soundgarden 25. Rainier Fog - AIC special mentions to - Beatles Remastered Mix of 2017,18,19....

​@BANGERTV - All Metal The second part has been blocked and the video is not available anymore because of coyprights infringement. Bummer! :(

In Vain - Aenigma is the blackened (and better?) Where Owls Know My Name imo

think you guys left in the tie for 5th in the description box...think we all guessed itd be on the list somewhere though!

Winter's Gate - Insomnium (2016) (Melodic Death) - Other notable albums: One For Sorrow (2011), Shadows Of The Dying Sun (2014), Heart Like A Grave (2019)

My personal Top 10... *Enslaved* - Axioma Ethica Odini... Perhaps Enslaved's most consistent record outside of Isa, AEO combines black metal and psychedelic prog rock in a way that's both seamless and catchy. *Gorguts* - Colored Sands... Best comeback record of all time? The fact that it not only stands up to the incredible Obscura, but also surpasses it at times is a testament to how powerful this record is. *Blood Incantation* - Hidden History of the Human Race... Like Starspawn, Hidden History injects death metal with a much needed reminder of the genre's roots, all the while not sounding like nostalgia bait. Incredible effort! *Voivod* - The Wake... Voivod's best since Nothingface, which should speak volumes. *Artificial Brain* - Infrared Horizon... AB combine so many influences and nods to other bands and genres, but mold it into their own unique identity. Infrared Horizon is both brutal and beautiful, twisted and serene. *Mgla* - Exercises in Futility... Exercises is Mgla's crowning achievement thus far, giving black metal back its simplicity and power, without sounding like pastiche. *Blut Aus Nord* - Memoria Vetusta III: Saturnian Poetry... BAN's best since MVII, but also a reminder of how expansive black metal can sound in the right hands. *Deathspell Omega* - Paracletus... DsO distilled the essential components of their sound into Paracletus, and the result may be their best work. *The Ruins of Beverast* - Exuvia... Progressive, avant garde, cosmic, mind bending blackened doom from this incredible one-man act. *Ulcerate* - Shrines of Paralysis... Ulcerate's sound distilled into their most potent work to date. Monolithic death metal. *Taake* - Noregs Vaapen... okay, I cheated by adding an 11th record, but Taake's 5th record is too good to not include. Primal, oldschool BM the way grandpa used to make.

A first for me - all of an album on my top 50 of 2019 from spotify was where the owls know my name every song!

my 2 favorite this decade: At the Gates At war with Reality and Carcass surgical steel

Aah! Worth it anyday to pause Billie Ellish half-asleep stuff and come here! 🤘🔥

the first time you listen to that Rivers of Nihil you just know it was album of the year, amazing

OMG ! There are two number #5 in your Top 10 !!!

Happy that I have 4 put of 5 of these albums

Two that stick out for me are: Wilderun - Veil of Imagination and Ne Obliviscaris - Citadel.

I know that is kinda controversial for a lot of Opeth fans out there, but in my list I would put Pale Communion, one of Opeth''s best without growls, all the songs on that record is just fucking good!!

CARCARIASS ! their album "Planet Chaos" are so Excellent ! I remember you review it in december !

This list just proves that millions of flies cannot be wrong - shit is good.

great video when's the next review for you guys and is Daniel dekay and Sarah kitteringham doing lock horns redux three I would love to do it with either Daniel dekay or Sarah

What of Judas Priest’s “Diamonds and Rust”?

My personal favorites (some are borderline rock) High on Fire - Snakes for the Divine Black Trip - Radar Uncle Acid - Bloodlust Graveyard - Hisingen Blues Watain - Lawless Darkness Accept - Blood of the Nations Hällas - Excerpts from a future past Jex Toth - Blood Moon Rise

My top 10 albums of the decade: (note, not a Black Metal fan) Star One - Victims Of The Modern Age (2010) In Flames - Sounds Of A Playground Fading (2011) Dawnbringer - Into The Lair Of The Sun God (2012) Devin Townsend Project - Sky Blue (2014) Dark Tranquility - Atoma (2016) Khemmis - Hunted (2016) Vektor - Terminal Redux (2016) Haken - Affinity (2016) Chelsea Wolfe - Hiss Spun (2017) Cellar Darling - The Spell (2019) So many honourable mentions including: Voyager - Meaning of I (2011), Anubis Gate - Anubis Gate (2011), Gojira - L'Enfant Sauvage (2012), Sabaton - Carolus Rex (2012), Pallbearer - Sorrow and Extinction (2012), Haken - The Mountain (2013), Within Temptation - Hydra (2014), Trials - The Ruined World (2015), Power Trip - Nightmare Logic (2017), Amorphis - Queen of Time (2018), Barren Earth - A Complex of Cages (2018), Ghost - Prequelle (2018), Orphaned Land - Unsung Prophets and Dead Massiahs (2018), Rammstein - Rammstein (2019), Tool - Fear Inoculum (2019) and loads more!

Not knocking on Rivers of Nihil by any means it’s also one of my personal favourites from the past decade but the sax has been done before, as much as it is a bold move, it’s not like it hadn’t been done before. Ihsahn did it on multiple albums, and Shining’s Blackjazz album is really where it started I think. Monumental album though, long may it continue for these guys, will be hard to top that.

L’ENFANT SAUVAGE has got to be at least top 3. Absolute masterpiece of an album.

Firepower is an amazing album! It shows why Halford is the Metal God!!! The day I got it I listened to it over and over till I realized it was all I listened to for a solid 12 weeks

Remember a decade is the timespan between the last Beatles album and the first Iron Maiden album. Seems RocknRoll evolved so much faster back then.

Mirror Reaper may be number 7 on this list, but it is number one on my list of the best of the decade. Pretty much a perfect Funeral Doom record that doesn't need anything changed, and is captivating and heavily emotional throughout.

Devourment-obscene majesty Without doubt one of the heaviest, punishing albums ever created

Damn, I love Priest ballads, especially Prisoner of Your Eyes, Dreamer Deceiver and Here Comes the Tears!

So, what's the metal communitys opinion on the King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard 'thrash' album, Infest the Rats' Nest?

Hey guys, the second part has been blocked in my country in Europe! Please do something with this issue or publish the list on your website, PLZ!

Good stuff.

Would love to see Altered State by Tesseract and Citadel by Ne Obliviscaris, especially Citadel, in the top 5. I reckon AS wont be though, but i can dream..

I agree totally that tool helped metal evolve and is a great inspiration for musicians. of course they can't always make the greatest album of all time but they have a strong place in heavy music. power trip is the most kickass band this decade

EXNUN ! Huge discovery for me ! Unrated et unfairly unknow band ! Thanks
