Hellbound's Best Canadian Metal of 2018

As a Canadian-based music site, we here at Hellbound pride ourselves in shining the spotlight on Canadian metal when we can. Each year it seems to get easier to come up with a list of great metal releases, and harder to narrow that list down to what might be considered the best of the best.

Any such list is inevitably a product of individual tastes and also limited by which releases came to our attention and when. You’ll get a clear sense of this as we post our contributors’ individual picks over the coming days. If we missed any of the great Canadian albums rocking your lives over the past year, let us know!
