Top ten metal/hard rock albums of 2022

I was a bit more conservative in my tastes and breadth in this genre in 2022, but still managed to find plenty to enjoy. Here are ten of the best:

Blind Guardian: The God Machine // Michael Romero: War of the Worlds, Pt. 2

The Birthday Massacre: Fascination // Borealis: Illusions

Disillusion: Ayam // Ghost: IMPERA

Rammstein: Zeit // Riot City: Electric Elite

Evergrey: A Heartless Portrait (The Orphean Testament) // Imperial Circus Dead Decadence: Mogari — Shi e Fukeru Omoi wa Rikujyoku sura Kurai, Kanata no Sei wo Aisuru Tame ni Inochi wo Tataeru
