The Best Metal Albums of 2007

By Adrien Begrand and Andrew Blackie

This is the best year for metal music we've seen in a very long time. Like other watershed years, such as 1983, 1984, and 1991, it's partially a case of artists peaking at the same time, and 2007 was no exception, unleashing a wave of superb releases from January straight through November.

Alcest: Souvenirs DUn Autre Monde

By Jennifer Kelly

The first full-length from French artist Neige alternates dreamy interludes and withering blasts of sound. Like recent Jesu, this is a shoe-gazing, post-rocking take on metal ... if it is metal at all. [28 November 2007]
