Another year begins, same scenario, ranking ordered from favorite down to least favorite. I've no specific target set this year, but it's doubtful I'll reach last year's monstrous amount. I might even throw in the odd EP this time round.

The list is also edited daily so the ranking may be subject to change.

1.Cistvaen - At Light's Demise

2.Khirki - Κ​υ​κ​ε​ώ​ν​α​ς

3.Dödsrit - Nocturnal Will

4.Sgàile - Traverse The Bealach

5.Hauntologist - Hollow

So it begins. 3rd year at MS, 5th year of devoted metal listening. Nothing particularly exciting coming up, but Eternal Storm looks promising, and any new Persefone is a good thing. It's early days after all.

Goal? I made it to 625 albums last year, with a pretty slack first 6 months. Aiming for 800.

Update: This list is officially discontinued, apart from albums that are good enough to warrant multiple listens, aka the top end. There are various reasons for this, but a lot of changes are happening in life and I cannot/do not want to give this much time to every release I can.

1.Aquilus - Bellum II

2.Cave Sermon - Divine Laughter

3.Illumishade - Another Side Of You

4.Persefone - Lingua Ignota: Part I

5.Solbrud - IIII

Magnums albums ranked from best to worst. I included the Hard Rain albums as they are pretty much Magnum albums under a different name.This was a difficult list to make as they have so many albums and all are written by one man (except for 7 songs which are co-written) and sung by one man, that makes the albums quite close to each other music wise. There's no huge sudden changes in directions and soundwise many of their albums are pretty close. But here's my list after a lot of listening, also included some favourite tunes of all the albums.

1.Magnum - Wings Of Heaven

2.Magnum - The Eleventh Hour!

3.Magnum - On A Storyteller's Night

4.Magnum - Breath Of Life

5.Magnum - Lost On The Road To Eternity
