Best Heavy Metal Albums Of 1999
Sunday November 30, 2008
As the '90s came to a close, heavy metal was in pretty good shape. 1999 saw the release of some really good albums, and the continued success of up and coming bands like Opeth and In Flames coupled with the ongoing popularity of veteran bands made the future of the genre look bright.

Check out my list of the best heavy metal albums of 1999, and post your lists and comments below.
