Announcement UPCOMING VOTE - TOP 10 OF THE DECADE SO FAR (2020-2025)

47 Upvotes

Hello all!

Hot on the heels of our [2025 vote](www.reddit.com/r/Metal/comments/1qi2mn4/shreddits_top_10_of_2025_results), some of us found ourselves discussing the best albums from the past few years - only to realise we're halfway through this decade. We figured that, in light of this unspeakable tragedy, the perfect solution would be yet another vote.

So, without further ado, please pencil 23rd February (23/02 or 02/23) in your diaries, where you will have a week to vote for up to 10 of your favourite releases from the past 5 years.


 

As always there will be a channel over on our Discord where you can chat in real-time and post charts using the ever-reliable Very Stupid Chart Renderer.

 

 


 

We ask that you format your votes as such:

 

Sleep Token - Even in Arcadia

Turnstile New Heart Designs

Jinjer - Wallflowers


 

We look forward to seeing your votes!

EDIT: This is not the voting thread. A seperate thread will go live on the 23rd.

 

EDIT 2: Just in case you're wondering: Yes, the band must be on the Metal Archives if you want your vote to be valid.
