Oh, PS, I made sure to check amazon US and Amazon UK and there were plenty on the first...

We’ll see the Lou effect where the stock completely disappears by announcement date. That is if we guess it. Come on @Joe Mac , we need you to knock it home this month.

Unless it is already guessed
I don’t know metal as well and I haven’t had many drunk conversations with @Goatfish to have a gauge on his taste and I doubt trawling NME end of year lists will help here. Unless it’s Iowa. That was a UK number 1 album in the full main charts you know!
My guess then...
Slipknot - Iowa

If I end up buying Iowa by Slipknot my brother will be so proud. He’s a big metal fan and was at Donnington a few weeks ago. I sent him a copy of @Goatfish ’s clues today. He hadn’t a clue what was going on.
I bought it on day of release and so was partly responsible for making it number 1. I gave away most of my nu-metal about 10 years ago. I kept SOAD and, for the laughs, One Minute Silence, a uk based nu-metal band fronted by an Irish rapper who called himself Yapp...

My tastes are all over the map, so don’t know how much that would help anyway, but I’m sure if you had a few conversations with me recently I’d go on and on about the album I picked as being one of the best modern metal albums released in the past 10 years (whoops was that another hint?!).

Korn was the album that turned me away from what was current in metal for a considerable amount of time. I like aggressive music but it just wan't for me.

I like more progressive metal, hopefully this will be my month

I think you’ll enjoy it, and at worst I think you’ll think it’s only OK but who knows!

Good stuff. Only a few left in the could be guesses now. I'm ahead for the first time. Mastodon was out in 2009, it's over 10 years on the nose but not at 11 so I've left it in.

Fun fact: mastodon appeared in Game of Thrones. That doesn't relate to any clues that I can tell. It's just fun info!

Yes, That Was MASTODON On Game of Thrones Last Night!
Was last night's episode not amazing?

I suppose an atomic bomb would Crack The Skye

Maybe the cloud is a reference to shrooms and not the a bomb...
Bloody stoners...
Not intentionally, but coincidentally enough it could work. Don’t try searching for this, though you ain’t gonna find the link

Psalms Alive by Baroness mentions bombs and shots falling. Don't see any blue on the cover of Yellow & Green as an album though

Fuck this. I can't work it out! My final guess - E•MO•TION by Carly Rae Jepsen. Red Blue and White on the cover. LA Hallucinations is a track - legal marijuana and Side B has a track called Higher. It's some heavy shit, proper satanic evil, the deluxe edition even has a song called Black Heart. Tom Hanks who has been in Saving Private Ryan (World War II - Atomic bomb remember) was also in Carly's I Really Like You video. Critical acclaim. Billboard hit. The Wizards links to her pop magic.
This may be my guess for next month too @Teeeee
