To conclude our retrospective series that we usually do throughout December, after choosing the best songs and the best shows of 2014, now it's time to decide on the best albums of the year!

Once again, such a thankless task that forced us to leave out great albums that were released throughout 2014, such as “Blind Rage” (Accept), “Blood In, Blood Out” (Exodus), “Light Of Dawn” (Unisonic), “Pandemonium” (Cavalera Conspiracy), “Royal Blood” (Royal Blood), “1000hp” (Godsmack), “Empire Of The Undead” (Gamma Ray), “Killer Be Killed” (Killer Be Killed), “War Eternal” (Arch Enemy), “Outsider” (Uriah Heep), “Bloodstone & Diamonds” (Machine Head), “Black Widow” (In This Moment), among many others…

We think this short list, before the main list, shows how amazing the year was!!!!

So here we go: Listen to the songs in the playlist at the end of this post (sync it with your mobile device to listen wherever you want), watch the videos of the songs that are on the best albums of 2014 according to Wikimetal's Top 11, and most importantly:
