Still, there was no lack of incredible albums, so here&#8217;s 10 that deserve a little more shine.<\/p>\n<p>How are these guys not gigantic? With one of the most unique debuts of the decade, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/metalinjection.net\/tag\/astronoid\">Astronoid<\/a><\/strong> mixed thrash, prog and shoegaze for their explosive and addictive <em>Air<\/em>. Stunning is an understatement \u2014 <em>Air<\/em> is one of the most uplifting, joyful albums that could ever be lumped into the metal genre. It&#8217;s packed with massive hooks, pummeling drum work and vocals so high they make <strong>Coheed &amp; Cambria<\/strong> sound like they&#8217;re on TRT.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Astronoid - &quot;Up and Atom&quot; [Lyrics Video - Official - HD]\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FLZ0SHY3Ya8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>On the complete other end of the spectrum, there&#8217;s Chicago extreme sludge merchants <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/metalinjection.net\/tag\/indian\">Indian<\/a><\/strong>. The band&#8217;s 2014 album, <em>From All Purity<\/em>, is unfiltered violence and harsh noise. It leaves no space for hope or morality, only expressionistic horror. It&#8217;s one of the bleakest listens you can experience from the 2010s, and it will likely stick in the back of your mind for some time.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Rape\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RG4QbnWirdw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Ever find a band so under-appreciated that it makes you feel out-of-touch? Like, how aren&#8217;t people going to war for music like this? <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/metalinjection.net\/tag\/hollow-earth\">Hollow Earth<\/a><\/strong> is that band, and <em>Dead Planet<\/em> is one of the most slept-on albums of the 2010s. <em>Dead Planet<\/em> blends modern hardcore with spectral prog and riffs so beefy it could feed an NFL team. The scene hadn&#8217;t quite caught on to this type of music in 2016, so maybe it&#8217;s a case of too much, too soon.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Hollow Earth - Of Steel and Stone\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/j8KBvapaRKw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>If you&#8217;re a mark for atmospheric black metal, it&#8217;s likely you&#8217;ve blasted some <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/metalinjection.net\/tag\/mare-cognitum\">Mare Cognitum<\/a><\/strong> in the last decade. There are just so few projects that attack the genre this well, filling the eternal void with addictive guitar leads. You&#8217;ve just gotta sit with this album for its full 50-minute runtime \u2014 it&#8217;s a mind-expanding experience.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Mare Cognitum - Phobos Monolith (Full Album)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VDYgoUwgth0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Of all the Sabbaths who ever Priested, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/metalinjection.net\/tag\/sumerlands\">Sumerlands<\/a><\/strong> may have Sabbriested the hardest in the 2010s.
