Top 20 Best Heavy Metal CDs Of 2006
Wednesday December 13, 2006
2006 was a strong one for heavy metal. Some veterans proved they still have it, some lesser known bands became stars and a lot of talented newcomers burst upon the scene. In 2006 I reviewed nearly 400 CDs for this site, and used that information to compile this list. After multiple listens and the passing of time there are a few CDs that I now think are better than when I first reviewed them, and vice versa, and that's reflected in the list as well. Here are my choices for the top heavy metal CDs of 2006.

Decapitated’s Organic Hallucinosis was the album of the year for me. I’m surprised it didn’t even make your honorable mentions.
Here is my list:
1. Mastodon - Blood Mountain
2. Beyond Twilight - For the Love…
3. Tool - 10.000 Days
4. Katatonia - The Great Cold Distance
5. My Dying Bride - A Line Of Deathless Kings
6. Ihsahn - The Adversary
7. Stone Sour - Come (What)ever May
8. Trivium - The Crusade
9. If Hope Dies - Life In Ruin
10. Unearth - III.
I couldnt put the new Maiden in my top 10.
For me it was (in no order..yet)
Enslaved - Ruun
Kataklysm - In The Arms Of Devastation
Amon Amarth - With Oden On Our Side
One Man Army - 21st Century Killing Machine
Ihsahn - The Adversary
Negura Bunget - Om
I - Between Two Worlds
Evergrey - Monday Morning Apocalypse
Dark At Dawn - Dark At Dawn
Blind Guardian - A Twist In The Myth
Holy Diver Live should be in there,not Iron Maiden.
