Metalheads: Metal of 2011?
I know that variations of this question have been asked a crapload of times already, but, hey, it doesn't hurt to ask again, lol.
As the year is drawing to an end, I made a video of my top 50 favourite metal albums of the year:

MQ: if you have time, what's your thoughts on my compilation?
MQ2: What is your favourite metal album of 2011?
MQ3: What's favourite debut album?
MQ4: Biggest dissapointment for an album?
MQ5: Any albums set for release next year that you're looking forward to? (for me, it's Epica's, Midnight Realm's, and Kalmah's)
Appetite for Destruction was released 1987, and Abrahadabra was 2010
@Peace Sells: Oh crap!!! I completely forgot about Fables Of The Sleepless Empire! It's such an amazing album, I can't believe I forgot to include it in my list.
and yeah, most of my choices are either melodeth or power metal, as those are my two favourite genres. There are quite a few thrash albums though in my list, more so than my list for most other years... but I guess the kind of thrash I like sounds a lot like some melodeath.
Also, I'll be honest, (I know someone's gonna want to crucify me for this) I kinda like Illud Divinum Insanus... and I've never liked old Morbid Angel.
No, I've never liked very many oldschool DM bands. The production's too raw for me, and I find the vocals sound grating to me. I refer a deep, powerful roar or growl for death metal, and bands like Morbid Angel have that weak, higher pitch, scratchy gargle.
