Discuss. Notable things:
* The Chasm, Varathron, Pestilence (and arguably Manowar and Velvet Cacoon) really don't deserve to make the low 10, they were just up against exceptionally strong competition (or noone's heard them!)
* "Reign in Blood" didn't even make the top 10, but "Autumn Aurora", an album from last year, did.
