2021. bila je godina kada smo već odavno trebali imati leteće tramvaje, stalnu bazu na Mjesecu (u najmanju ruku) i robote koji nam peru ja..buke dok mi uživamo u ljetnom povjetarcu. Kako to obično biva, znanstvena je fantastika jedno, a okrutna realnost nešto potpuno drugo. No, da nije sve tako crno, pobrinuli su se dobri ljudi iz metala te tako dođe još jedna godina kraju i time još jedna lista puna dobre glazbe.
Grupe i dalje neumorno izdaju nove stvari i na ovome bi se mjestu skoro mogao ponoviti tekst od prošle godine o istim problemima i nemogućnostima održavanja normalnih aktivnosti itd., ali neće.
Statistički podatak o skoro 8000 izdanih dugosvirajućih albuma također je otprilike isti onome iz 2020. godine, samo nam je odabranih 25 albuma ponešto drugačijih i raznovrsnijih, iako smo i ove godine mogli odabrati mnogo više toga, a za svaki od ovih 25, u sjeni stoje bar 3-4 pretendenta na mjesto (posebice novi Aquilus te Funeral Mist koji su izdani baš kada je lista zaključena, pa računajte kao da jesu uključeni).
