Best metal albums
Metal is the heavy end of rock: distorted, riff-centric guitars, powerful drumming, and themes that run from the mythic to the confrontational. Established in the late 1960s and early 1970s by bands like Black Sabbath, it has since branched into one of music's deepest subgenre trees, from thrash and death to symphonic and progressive metal.
According to Riffiter listeners, the best metal album is Reign in Blood by Slayer, rated 4.8/5 by 5 listeners.
