Not a strong year overall; in fact 1991 was one of the weakest in memory for me. No 10/10 scores. But don't think there was nothing important happening. It was a pretty diverse time in my listening. We see some black metal penetration from Czech bands Root and Master's Hammer. A few last gasps for thrash metal here, and a few surprise speed/heavy metal records. Some grunge that I love. Darkthrone, one of my favorite bands ever arrives, but not in the form that most recognize. A lot of dynamic death metal, but the absence of sacred cows like Blessed Are the Sick, Human and Sepultura's Arise is not an accident, I've always found them surprisingly average. You know. Opinions, like assholes.
