22. Opeth - "Heritage"
They may have ditched the death metal in favour of a more melodic sound for their tenth studio album, and make no mistake about it, "Heritage" is a straight up progressive rock album, but they've lost none of their quality. It may have proved divisive among their fans, but this really is a great album.
21. Joe Bonamassa - "Dust Bowl"
The first of three studio albums released by the prolific Mr Bonamassa in a variety of different projects. It is yet another huge slice of blues rock, featuring Joe's usual mix of originals and new arrangements of classics. As always, the guitar work is phenomenal, and the vocals soar. Fantastic.
20. Will Haven - "Voir Dire"
The return of vocalist Grady Avenell to Will Haven has produced one of the finest sludge metal albums of the last few years. Noisy riffs, brutal vocals and the aggressive drumming we've all come to expect are all apparent. A fine return from one of the genre's premier artists.
