Top 10 of 2010: 2

Here are the pick for the 2nd best album by our editors:

At The Gates - The Flames of the End [Melodic Death Metal]

Calling their final days as a band, At The Gates release a 3 DVD box set, containing a 2 hour long documentary and also featuring their 2008 Wacken Open Air concert. A must have for all hardcore ATG collectors out there! - Clarence (OC ov Assault)

Perdition Temple - Edict of the Antichrist Elect [Black/Death Metal]

While the demise of most bands usually mean the end of all good things, the end of Angelcorpse fortunately wasn't a totally bad news. While Pete Helmkamp went on to play in Revenge (yet another awesome band), Gene Palubicki and Terry Eleftheriou have banded together to form Perdition Temple, continuing their aural onslaught with black/death metal in similar veins to - guess who - Angelcorpse. Fans of Angelcorpse should not miss this. - Hong Rui

Shining - Blackjazz [Black Metal/Jazz]

This is one album that really defies classification. Some parts black metal, some parts free-flowing jazz, and all mad metal goodness. This remarkable fusion of sounds truly blew my mind when I first heard it. - JJ Yeo

Agalloch - Marrow of the Spirit [Folk/Black Metal]
