The year grunge took over the world? Not really. Metal was as healthy as it had ever been in 1992. But things were changing: while old masters Iron Maiden returned with Fear Of The Dark, it would be the last album to feature Bruce Dickinson for almost a decade. Luckily, a new generation of metal bands were ready to pick up the torch, from Pantera and Alice In Chains to alt-metallers Faith No More and Rage Against The Machine. Here are the 20 best albums from that rollercoaster year.
