MER Presents The 30 Best Metal Albums Released Since Year 2000

On April 15th 2016 the Metal Express Radio partners hooked up in Chicago to celebrate the station’s 16th anniversary. They also took the air waves to play the 30 best metal albums released since the station went online in the year 2000. During the more than 4 hour long show it was obvious that the partners didn’t agree 100% about which albums deserved to be in the list. Well, here it is … tell us what you think!

    Stig is the founder and the president of Metal Express Radio, based out of Oslo, Norway. He has been around doing Metal radio since the mid-eighties. In fact, running Metal Express Radio takes almost all of his time. Is it worth it...? "Most times, yes," Stig says. "My philosophy is to try to give all Metal releases a fair chance to get promoted in one way or another. As you can imagine, it can be an arduous task to listen through about 20 albums every week! Still, I know we have the best METAL dedicated radio on this planet, and that is a reward in and of itself. I hope one day the whole Metal community can and will make listening to Metal Express Radio part of their daily rituals! Yeah, right..."
