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

The best album art of 2024. I usually gravitate towards album covers based on these factors:
-Level of detail (Foreground, background, etc. One dimensional album covers don't work for me usually)
-Art style (Renaissance is cool, power metal fantasy cartoons are not)
-Colour scheme (Vibrant colours but not too wacky or fluro)
-Winter, space, large scale visuals
-Contrast (Through colour and actual landscape)
-Abstract/paradoxical

No particular order, they are all great

1.Solbrud - IIII

2.Eternal Storm - A Giant Bound To Fall

3.Infected Rain - Time

4.Darkspace - Dark Space -II

5.Borknagar - Fall
