Here's my list of favourite heavy metal albums from 2020, various kind of heavy, traditional, doom/stoner & speed metal. In alphabetical order. Click to go to the review. And feel free to make suggestions in comments.
Demonic Death Judge - The Trail
Megaton Sword - Blood Hails Steel - Steel Hails Fire
Midnight - Rebirth By Blasphemy
Pimmit Hills - Heathens & Prophets
Pimmit Hills is the new band formed by King Giant members after one guitarist left, but, while keeping a King Giant flavour, especially with the exceptional vocals of Dave Hammerly, it's also a different thing musically. Their first release Heathens & Prophets is less epic and heavy metal but is more 70' heavy blues and stoner, a bit like a mix of King Giant, Mountain and Kyuss. And they also do that with a lot of class. I miss KG but I'm happy to be able to listen to Pimmit Hills, talented musicians with one of the very best heavy metal singers. Recommended!
