Let's return to the heyday of the New Wave of Britsh Heavy Metal in 1981 for an hour long set from the mighty Saxon on the Strong Arm of the Law tour. Personally, I consider this to be the band's best era, here finding Saxon delivering heads down boogiefied metal with conviction and excitement. Show me the way!!!!

Let's go back in a time capsule to 1978 when Aerosmith and Ted Nugent ruled the outdoor festival circuit across North America. In this case, we find the acts joined by Foreigner, Heart and Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush at the much celebrated Cal Jam 2 festival. Let's go gonzo!!!!

Time to go back to 1981 where we get to watch one of America's finest early metal outfits live on stage ... Riot! And on the Fire Down Under Tour no less! This proves that Guy Speranza is one of the best unheralded metal singers of the 80s. Hail!!!

So here we finally are. After naming our Top 10 doom, hardcore punk, hard'n'heavy and extreme metal albums of 2023 over the last four weeks, we finally come down to the big enchillada ... the best albums of 2023 regardless of genre. Leading the charge this year to these ears were the hardcore punk and hard'n'heavy categories with doom and extreme metal having relatively off years in my opinion. Regardless, you'll find representation of all four of the categories we cover here at The Mighty Decibel in our Top 10 of 2023. Long live metal!!!!
