Let's face it, 2024 was a massive year for metal breaking through to the mainstream. Even without new releases from the likes of Metallica, Slipknot or Iron Maiden, there was a stunningly impressive and diverse selection of albums for fans to get their ears around.
And more importantly, the barrage of new singles was seemingly endless. Each week we hunted high and low to bring you the very best metal songs around from across the heavy music spectrum, and each week we asked you to vote for your favourites, crowning a top three. Then, as the year drew to a close, we asked you to vote one last time - and crown the very best metal song of 2024.
