I don't believe in illegal downloading of easily available albums, so this list is only albums I have actually purchased and own a hard copy or official download of. The order is VERY fluid, and in all likelihood, wrong. But oh well....

Coming soon: Comments for each album & finalised order for the year...

1.Thy Catafalque - Rengeteg

2.Omnium Gatherum - New World Shadows

3.Ulcerate - The Destroyers Of All

4.Symphony X - Iconoclast

5.Cormorant - Dwellings

In each year we can expect that some albums are the best,so i created this list to let the cat out of the bag and inform it before the time
i just guessed about them but i wanna test my mantic (?) sense and of course it's NOT by rating from top. sometimes i use multiple album in a special genre cause i don't know the exact one. (sorry for my bad English)

1.Septicflesh - The Great Mass

2.Moonsorrow - Varjoina Kuljemme Kuolleiden Maassa

3.Insomnium - One For Sorrow

4.Opeth - Heritage

5.Megadeth - Th1rt3en

Welcome, no matter if you're a long-term MS member or an Avenged Sevenfold listener. Don't know what to vote for? Here's ANOTHER yearly best-of list for you to go through, or, more likely, for the usual tl;dr. But, wait - what makes this one different: 1) unqualified and totally subjective two-line reviews, 2) conscious restriction to the litte-more-than-20 most impressive albums, 3) an aversion against the much too generic thrash & power metal genres and anything without recall value.

1.Amaranthe - Amaranthe

2.Alestorm - Back Through Time

3.Thy Catafalque - Rengeteg

4.Fair To Midland - Arrows & Anchors

5.The Devil's Blood - The Thousandfold Epicentre

1.Powerwolf - Blood Of The Saints
