\"HRH<\/p>\n

After reminiscing about the top Hard Rock and Metal albums from the ’80s, the Hardrock Haven staff decided we shouldn’t stop there. We now turn our attention to the ’90s. Again, taking aim at the top Hard Rock and Metal albums of that decade.<\/p>\n

With the deafening roar of Grunge\u2019s arrival, the genre pushed Hard Rock and Metal, particularly Hair Metal, from the radio airwaves. Grunge, a sub-genre of Hard Rock, created an enormous following of fans, but it didn’t derail those from their continued allegiance to “Metal.”<\/p>\n

Those genre(s) didn’t die. In fact, with the ongoing evolution of the music, many sub-genres were created and branched off of the Hard Rock and Metal categories. While no longer in the mainstream limelight, the Hard Rock and Metal genres went underground in the United States and birthed new bands across Europe.<\/p>\n

The Metal heavy weights remained relevant, and the newcomers kept the music and spirit of the culture alive for the legions of fans worldwide. So, let\u2019s go back in time and honor the best Hard Rock and Heavy Metal genre(s) albums of the ’90s.<\/p>\n
