Keohane was raving about the new Gaerea also now that I think about it. I'll have to spend time with that one yet.

I haven't listened to the new Crypt Sermon at all despite being a big fan of the last two. Looks like I'd be well advised to rectify that!

My top twenty is currently still at the top 40 stage, torturous times ahead  but I'm currently sitting with a top 5 of Blood Incantation, Sovereign, Critical Defiance, Judas Priest and Civerous.

Have 8 of those, the top 5, Lucifer, Darkthrone and Anciients.  Blood Incantation and Spectral Wounds will make my Top 5 but unless something amazing pops up, The Wizards "The Exit Garden" will be my favourite album of the year.

Youd want to be Raving mad to listen to them!

Limbo was mighty, didn't think too much of the last one. I have Coma lined up, when I get to it is another thing.

As has been the way the last few years, I've picked up very little new stuff, mostly older things. What springs to mind are

High on Fire
Gjendød
Törnen
The Cure

Possibly a few others that are slipping my mind.


Two good albums indeed, two bands keeping the old flame burning.

Requiem Metal Podcast did a great episode on it too. Well worth checking out.

And new Distant Dream about to drop. I expect nothing but greatness.

Unaussprechlichen Kulten, Abhorration, Priest.

Just started listening to new Obnoxious Youth yesterday too and could end up being up there.

Blood Incantaion very good too but initial effect wearing off already.

Witch Vomit is up there this year for me!,great release.

Skelthal
The Crown
Hyperdontia

All very good too!

I'm a Blood incantation fan boy so thats album of the year for me!.

Definitely haven't listened to 40 new albums this year. Here's my top 5:

Sørgelig - Φθορά
Departure Chandelier - Satan Soldier Of Fortune
Unholy Craft - Saa Mørkt, Saa Mektig
Judas Priest - Invincible Shield
Pestilength - Solar Clorex
