IT'S MID-YEAR LIST TIME!!

It's been another insane start to the year for heavy music and maybe the most stacked 6 months ever! Making these lists was no easy task, and I'm almost certain we'll have changed our minds by tomorrow, but for now, here are the albums that are currently shaking our speakers in 2026.

Will your favourite be here?

Possibly.

Will we forget something obvious and immediately get reminded about it in the comments?

Almost certainly.
