We've hit the midway mark of the 20s decade, so it's a good time to look back and appreciate the best hard'n'heavy tracks issued this decade so far. In our lexicon, hard'n'heavy includes trad metal, speed metal, hard rock, prog rock, rock'n'roll and punk rock. Anything heavy that doesn't fit on our three other categories we cover her at The Mighty Decibel.
