1995 was a pretty good year for heavy metal, with Death topping the list. My choices for the best of the year includes a wide variety of artists in genres like melodic death metal, death metal, power metal and others. There's also a wide geographic representation, from Sweden to Germany to Norway to the U.S. Take a look at my list of the best metal albums released in 1995, and then post your lists and comments below.

Wow, replace Moonspell with the best Rage Album (Black in Mind) and we got the same 10 for this year. Granted, most of them are very obvious choices. Also Notable: Opeth/Nevermore/SYL who would make the best albums 10 years later, debuted here! Some memorable Extreme Metal Offerings: Bolt Thrower/Cryptopsy/SixFeetUnder/Morbid Angel/Suffocation/Immortal/Kreator. Iced Earths Burnt Offering (first with Barlow). I have In Flames’ The Jester Race listed for this year (making the Swedish MelodicDeath Triumvirate complete, you noticed the German One?). Using the number 10 NOT in a positive sense for this post: Maiden’s X-Factor
