And so at last we come to the final day of our Album of the Year Christmas Countdown. What a year it has been too! We have seen some absolutely brilliant releases from bands from all sorts of genres. Proving that Metal is most certainly not dead in 2015 and in fact a huge runner in the line of music itself. I shall be adding my personal Honourable Mentions list at the bottom for those albums that might have felt slightly left out!
