Part 1: A Selection of Metal Albums Released in 2021

List includes albums released in 2021 in hard rock and all sub genres of metal. In order to make the list, an album needs a minimum score of 6/10, which means listen or buy the album eventually. I tried to list from most liked to least liked. No album scored rated higher than 8/10, none lower than 6/10. In January 2022 I'll publish a more "complete" list.
