Ghost - Meliora
August 21, 2015
Critic Score
81
18 reviews

It’s hard to imagine having more fun with a metal album than with Meliora.

9.

High on Fire - Luminiferous
June 16, 2015
Critic Score
78
12 reviews

Overall, Luminiferous is simply the best team in the league doing what they do best. In most cases, that’s winning, but in this case, that’s producing some of the finest metal on the planet.

8.

Royal Thunder - Crooked Doors
April 7, 2015
Critic Score

7 reviews

7.

VHÖL - Deeper Than Sky
October 23, 2015

Napalm Death - Apex Predator - Easy Meat

Critic Score

15 reviews

5.

Faith No More - Sol Invictus
May 19, 2015
Critic Score
77
38 reviews

Sol Invictus probably isn’t going to top Angel Dust or The Real Thing on most fans’ lists of favorite Faith No More albums, but it’s a step up from Album of the Year and holds its own with the strong but slightly bloated King for a Day, Fool for a Lifetime record.

1.

Iron Maiden - The Book of Souls
September 4, 2015
Critic Score
79
31 reviews

They did push themselves like they’ve never done before, and they’ve rewarded their millions of worldwide fans with a late-career zenith.
