Sharing my top 15 picks for the bands I consider to be the BEST currently still putting out music today. The ones where I have loved basically every album, I look forward to the most, and consistently end up on best of the year lists. From old classics still kicking to newer bands making a name for themselves, these are the cream of the crop. #bestmetalbands @enslaved @dtofficial @meshuggah @BTBAMofficial @thecallousdaoboys3398 @Tallah @Periphery
