In a year that truly called for metal (lots and lots of metal), these are the 10 best metal albums of 2016 that have been keeping my jukebox busy.

‘The Redhead League’ is an eclectic and exhilaratingly addictive concept album of songs about red-haired female comic book heroes. Leslie Hudson brings these characters alive with passion, angst and a depth that you might not have thought possible for some of them, and in this she is aided by an A-team roster of guest musicians who add their considerable talents to the mix.

Here's Sapient, frontman of blackened death metal band Abomnium with his list of the 10 best extreme metal albums of 2015.

Lamb of God's 'VII: Sturm und Drang' grabs you by the scruff of the neck and drags you through blistering songs that rage at the injustices of the world.

'Extinct' combines the loudness of 'Alpha Noir' with the melodic atmosphere of 'Omega White,' resulting in the most pop album Moonspell has released to date.

Abomnium's masterful, supremely accessible black-death-thrash metal fusion should please veteran metalheads and even casual listeners who aren't metal fans.

I proudly present the songs of Pop Mythology and its wonderful collaborators from FAWM (Feb. Album Writing Month) 2015. Live long and prosper.

I am pleased to report that I have "won" FAWM! That means I was able to do at least 14 songs during the month (as of this writing I'm at 19).

Here are my favorite songs from Week 3 of FAWM and guess what? I'm on my own list!

"Sunbather" is without question a fiercely emotive record of sometimes overwhelming power and heartbreaking beauty.
