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

I doubt I’ll get to half the releases of last year due to changes in my work but I’ll find some good stuff

1.Suldusk - Anthesis

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

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
