Top Rated Abums From A To Я

These are the albums with the highest possible rates in my personal list. Sometimes it was an emotional decision made after one single spin, but mostly these actually are my favorite albums. Also, I was wondering what genre would be most represented.

PS. The image was selected intentionally to piss you off. Still, I do consider Diabolus In Musica to be an almost perfect album

1.1833 AD - My Dark Symphony
2.1914 - The Blind Leading The Blind
3.Akhlys - Melinoë
4.Amorphis - The Karelian Isthmus
5.Amorphis - Tales From The Thousand Lakes

TOP 100 METAL ALBUMS OF 2020

2020 has been nothing short of a horrific year. The music industry was quite possibly changed forever due to the pandemic, we saw tours and festivals canceled, and as of now, live shows seem to be a thing of the past.

However, this year ( especially in metal), we saw some big releases, impressive debuts, and the return of several bands that had been on hiatus for decades. Overall for albums, 2020 was rather impressive. Here's my favorite 100 metal albums of 2020...

1.Spectral Lore - Wanderers: Astrology Of The Nine [Collaboration]
2.Cryptic Shift - Visitations From Enceladus
3.Psychotic Waltz - The God-Shaped Void
4.Akhlys - Melinoë
5.Ulcerate - Stare Into Death And Be Still
