As we try to compile a list of top 5 albums in his 2013 year, it’s evidently clear that this year is been memorable and has featured it’s share of great and let’s be fair, disappointing albums. But before we get into best music, let’s talk about some of the biggest stories that rocked the genres. The Rock and Metal world was saddened with the loss of former Iron Maiden drummer Clive Burr, and of course Slayer’s Jeff Hanneman, on a high note Black Sabbath made a return to life from the darkness, as they released another album embarked on a massive world tour, you saw Queensryche split and go in completely separate directions perhaps for the better, and Lamb of God front man Randy Blythe court battle came to a resolution. Just some among the frenzy and unwavering  touring life that saw so many great bands kicking it live. No doubt that for us as a publication, will be very busy in 2014 with many new hot acts, great live tours and we shall strive to bring you the best of both worlds of Hard Rock and Heavy Metal.

As those seemed to be some of the top news of the year, we also witnesses some great music throughout the remainder of 2013; and here we asked the Myglobalmind staff writers/contributors to submit their own list of top 5 rock/metal albums of 2013.  Yes no list is perfect and some albums could be listed as *noteworthy or memorable mentions, but this year we wanted to keep things simple, top 5 albums to give you guys a broad scope of our writers variety of musical tastes and music versatility. Hope you enjoy the list and here’s a toast to an even greater 2014 just around the corner.
