Been a while, hasn't it? Well, the true vets will remember the deal.

2024 favorite albums list, but, following in the vein of my previous year lists, focusing specifically on the lulling, hypnotizing, and otherwise ethereal jamz y'all know are my bread and butter. Inevitably going to be slanted toward doom, black metal, drone, and ambient - type stuff, but anything (metal or non) that sends me sufficiently into the Twilight realms is up for inclusion.

In order by release date. Full streams when available. Recs encouraged and appreciated.

1.Canaan - Ai Margini

2.Crizin da Z.O. - Accelero

3.Roscian - The First Disgrace

4.Grin - Hush

5.Chapel Of Disease - Echoes Of Light

This is my list of newly released Albums that I listened/will listen to in 2024. I hope that I have the motivation to finally complete it this year and not stop halfway through.
The records are presented in order of release date and I will rate them when I´m certain that I formed an opinion on them, though the ratings might change from time to time.
I hope this list might once again be inspiring to other users maybe some people will find some new music to listen to.
