Black Metal: The Expansion Pack My initial rendition was looking at the USBM scene. Next I opted to dive into where it arguably all began… Norway. My most recent exploration was into Switzerland’s scene. Rather than repeatedly coming up with a new list, I thought I would blow it all up and start anew. This list will serve as my comprehensive findings on a country by country basis. It will allow me to move on more quickly rather than having to keep a small select group of bands on my Apple Music search history. This is not intended to simply start laundry listing every single band from across the globe. I will note below which country I’m currently dabbling in. Feel free to suggest within the confines of countries already listened to and the one currently being explored. Check back to see what is the next to be explored.
Categorized by country Organized alphabetically One album per band Currently listing: Switzerland Currently investigating: Germany On deck: Austria

2022: The Plague, War And You Looks like we get to go around the sun for another year. So far...not off to a great start, but may as well continue this decade of garbage with another list. As always, recommendations welcome.

2020+1 or: how I learned to stop worrying and love avant-garde black A couple of years ago I was still at the point where the IPA Gods had not bestowed the appreciation of that type of beer upon me. Then. One fateful night in Denver, CO I had a Voodoo Ranger and it changed my opinion of IPAs.
It seems that 2021 is the year that I started to gain an appreciation for Avant-garde Black.

JokeR's Top Hunnid From 2010 - 2019 To commemorate the top 100 albums of 2010 - 2019 I thought I would follow suit and make a list of my own. This has been a very challenging task to say the least. As I reflected on the releases from the last 10 years, it became increasingly difficult to settle on album rankings. In the interest of getting my top 100 published I am potentially releasing the list a little prematurely. The top 30 or so are quite firm. I don't anticipate much change in those albums, however, there could be some mobility throughout the rest of the list.

2020 - Stare Into Social Distancing And Be Still The best of 2020 - reduced down to 25, which was no easy feat. This is still somewhat a work in progress, but far closer to a finished product.

2018: A Sentiment-al Year A little behind, but looking back on 2018 there were some absolute gems. Limited to my top 10.

2019 It may have been a slow start to 2019, but May and June have started to kick things into high gear. I recently decided to start collecting vinyl, which has lead me to start a list. It's been a couple years since I've done one, so I figured I'm due. Enjoy.

2016: Accounting For The Top Releases Last year I was a little late to the party...busy studying for a professional exam and all. This year I thought I would try and stay on top of a list and hopefully follow it through to the end. I'm going to limit the list to anything I would rate 7 and up. Overall on this site my ratings are fairly favourable, because I try to stick to genres and bands I know I will like.

2015: The List That Made Happy Pardon the awful title, I thought it was funny and a play on Ahab's "The Thing That Made Search", but hey, not every joke is a winner.
Here is my list for the Top albums of 2015. No grading system like last year. Real list, no gimmicks. Albums are ordered based on preference and subject to change at random, with expanded number of albums or ordering.

Chobo's Choices For Top 25 Favourite Albums Here is a list of my favourite albums of all time (that are on Metalstorm). I have limited it to one album per band. The albums are ordered in alphabetical order. The list is subject to change over time, but nearly all albums on here are set in stone and have been extremely influential on my musical tastes. If you think you have an album that could squeak its way onto this list, by all means suggest away.

2014: From Professor JokeR's Perspective I'll start off by saying that I wasn't planning on doing a list so early on in the year, but I've come across numerous albums that I'd like to share with people who enjoy my lists (or people who hate my lists).
This list will be a little different than my 2013 list. I created that list at the end of the year, and then decreased it to my Top 25 of 2013. This list will be a compilation of all 2014 albums I've come across and given a listen.

Bringing It All Together: 2013 2013 has come and gone. I just wanted to share some of my favourite albums from the year, as there have been several strong albums that have creeped into my favourite albums. If you enjoyed my "Crushing?" list, you may also enjoy what is on here. The albums are in order and the descriptions are generally for fun. I've brought it down to a Top 25.

Crushing (Not For The Faint Of Heart) A little list of albums that have been kicking my ass as of late. Some albums on this list may appear to be "odd" choices, but "crushing" in this context does not necessarily mean heavy. It could be referring to the emotional intensity of the release or the literal heavy pounding sound. Hope you enjoy.
Note (1): More to be added as I see fit. Note (2): These albums are in no specific order, I have just been adding them as I see fit.
