The year of 2013 has crossed its half-way point, and this is usually a good time to recap the first half and reminisce on the good music that came out during the period. When your mind is open and receptive to the entire spectrum of heavy music rather than just a subset of it, you find yourself appreciating a lot of bands of hugely varying styles. I found this to be true in my case this year as I ended up enjoying a plethora of albums. Some of the big names came up with massively disappointing albums, there were others that vindicated the people who kept the faith in them, and then there were new bands that popped up with awesome releases.
Hence I present to you my top 13 albums list at this point. As always, I’d like to point out that only full-length studio albums of original material have been considered for the list. EPs, split albums and covers albums haven’t been taken into account. I hope you enjoy what you read below, and just keep in mind; as for the albums I left out, it’s not that I hate each and every one of them, it’s just that the 13 listed below are, in my opinion, serve best as albums purely for the purposes of listening at home.

A few days ago, news started circulating that one of Hollywood’s premier rock and metal venues, the Key Club, previously known as Billboard Live and Gazzarri’s before that, is going to shut its doors permanently on March 15th. Ian Shepp, the operations manager, issued this letter:
As soon as I read it the first time, my heart sank. I realized how big a part the club has been in my metal adventures and explorations through the past few years. Despite the fact that the Key Club took a hiatus from hosting metal gigs in the six-month period between November 29th 2009 and June 1st 2010, it remains my most frequented venue, by far. After all, I attended 68 shows there. 68! No wonder my heart sank at the news of its closing. There were things I really liked about the club, and there were things I didn’t like, but even so, it’s almost like saying goodbye to a loved one.
