Your top 6 metal albums

[PIV Bassman]

It's that time again - I write a metal column in Melbourne, Australia and every week I run a Six of the Best section where people send in their top six metal albums and it's a bit quiet this week so let me know your top 6 and I'll print them in the column!

They can be 6 all time favourites, 6 recent releases or any other combination, plus your FIRST NAME only.

Thanks!

PARADISE LOST - In Requiem
