Metal Mixtape: Steff’s 2010 Metal Top Ten

A selection of songs from my favorite metal albums of 2010 so far. I haven’t written much commentary, as I think I’ve written it in the review post. Enjoy.

Cynic – King of those Who Know

Eluveitie – Thousandfold

Love that hurdy-gurdy. Also, why is everyone in this band so HOT? It must be a crime or something.

The Shining – Blackjazz Deathtrance

HOLY FUCK.

Sabaton – Screaming Eagles

Footage is from a Band of Brothers (a war TV series I found very “gung-ho Americans” and not terribly accurate as I understood the war) but quite a good fan video nonetheless.

Krokus – Hoodoo Woman

Orphaned Land – Barakah

The Vision Bleak –

Gamma Ray – To the Metal

Also, just cuz I found all this 2009 Wacken footage online, and I think I’ve seen my little head bobbing up there, here’s Gamma Ray again

Burzum – Glemselens Elv

The Shining – 21st Century Schizoid Man

King Crimson like you’ve never heard him before.
