If Divided By Darkness began a move into the more traditional heavy metal territory and less of a doom feel, then Enlightened By Eternity is that dialed up to eleven. Brilliant, more like, though I'd reason to say Enlightened By Eternity is more of a departure for early fans of the band.
The band technically hasn't had anything close to a bad album. Spirit Adrift seem to get a ton of love when it comes to best of's and year-end lists, and for good reason. For me they are all equally brilliant, but for the purposes of year-end rankings, here are my top 10 metal albums of 2020!
I re-wrote this list, juggled, and shifted more than I have any in recent memory. Leaving those artists and more out of my final list was far from easy. There are too many to name, and I'd kick myself for not honourably mentioning Deftones, Heaven Shall Burn, Body Count, Hjelvik, Paradise Lost, Warbringer, Sodom, King Witch, and Lucifer. In a year where so many have lost so much, the fact that we fans have found an outlet, an escape, through the efforts of these metallers across the globe is nothing short of miraculous. But there's hope.ĭespite it all, heavy metal acts have put out some unbelievably good releases throughout 2020. Tours have been re-routed or canceled entirely, bands have been hit hard with the financial burdens of being grounded during peak seasons, and we as fans have been deprived of mosh pits and festival merch for nine months and counting. COVID-19 has changed things now and moving forward for the entire entertainment industry, and the world of heavy metal is in no way exempt from that.
