| Best Metal Albums of 1988
My top ten for this year. It's a difficult one but that just goes to show how good it was. | | 1 |  | Voivod
Dimension Hatross
One of the best progressive metal albums ever made and a transitional work that actually manages to be excellently conceived. | | 2 |  | Coroner
Punishment for Decadence
When Coroner started honing their songwriting and became progressively tighter as a band. An incredible release. | | 3 |  | Holy Terror
Mind Wars
A versatile, speedy, manic thrashterpiece. The fact that they never continued after this was a shame. Definitely one of the best thrash metal bands of the '80s despite being quite short-lived. | | 4 |  | Helstar
A Distant Thunder
With Andre Corbin added to the band, the neoclassical affectations in Helstar's playing flourished along with more integration of thrash into their sound. This would probably be their best album if it wasn't for Nosferatu. Fantastic work | | 5 |  | Adramelch
Irae Melanox
Probably has some of the best songwriting in progressive power metal, making it an absolute classic. However, I do wish the production was a bit better. | | 6 |  | Target
Master Project Genesis
An incredibly influential display of tight composition and virtuosity. | | 7 |  | Pestilence
Malleus Maleficarum
Death/thrash masterclass | | 8 |  | Deathrow
Deception Ignored
An unprecedented step from this band that paid off in spades. | | 9 |  | Razor
Violent Restitution
An album so awesome, it was dedicated to Charles Bronson. Listen to it. | | 10 |  | Realm
Endless War
A great USPM-influenced technical thrash album. Classic. | |

02.02.18 | "Honorable mentions include: Megadeth - So Far, So Good, So What?!, Slayer - South of Heaven. Riot - Thundersteel"
I think those 3 should be up on the list yo. | bgillesp
02.02.18 | 1 and 2 are m/ But Leprosy and So Far So Good are jams. Idk most of these though so I guess I can't say they should be on there | Kompys2000
02.02.18 | Fuck's sake where is Operation Mindcrime? | Casavir
02.02.18 | Oh, that one totally skipped my mind. It's a great album but I'd have to listen to it as I have not done so in a while. | RippingCorpse1986
02.02.18 | Make Sputnik Thrash Again m/
Props for 4 and 10, very underrated releases | Casavir
02.02.18 | Thanks, man. Glad you like the list. Check out 5 as well, it's a lost gem. | Grimlin
02.02.18 | Nice list. Check Protector - Golem, Incubus - Serpent Temptation and Bulldozer - Neurodeliri if you haven't already | Casavir
02.02.18 | Neurodeliri is another great one. Bulldozer's discography prior to that is pretty consistent as well with albums like IX and The Day of Wrath. | DikkoZinner
02.07.18 | Good call on 3 | RunOfTheMill
02.08.18 | Casavir, ever listen to Drive - Characters in Time? It's a great album from a rather obscure US power metal band | Casavir
02.08.18 | Yeah, that's a pretty great album. | tastepolice

09.01.21 | An album so awesome, it was dedicated to Charles Bronson. |
