Our Norwegian friend Mats submits his Top 15 of 2010! The lucky bastard gets hold of releases from Rise Above Records before they hit stateside, so he has both Ghost and Electric Wizard in this list, amongst 13 other fine choices.

Cole checks in with his year-end best-of list, but don’t let that picture confuse you—”Snakes for the Divine” doesn’t actually show up until #7 …see what else he chose!

Rating: 5/5

Enslaved keeps on exploring their boundaries and are eclipsing the black metal subgenre with “Axioma Ethica Odini”. This time they’ve reached a pinnacle of heavy music; the Norwegian band has released one of the strongest contenders for 2010 Album of the Year!

Well that’s funny. The week after mentioning Enslaved on ‘Mind Over Metal’ for the first time on 2010, playing “Clouds”, and speculating on a new release, we get this good news!
