This is my list of newly released Albums that I listened/will listen to in 2022.
The records are presented in order of release date and I will rate them when I´m certain that I formed an opinion on them, though the ratings might change from time to time.
I hope this list might once again be inspiring to other users and that some people will find some new music to listen to.

1.Apocryphal - Tales Of Galilea

2.Wilderun - Epigone

3.Power Paladin - With The Magic Of Windfyre Steel

4.Kalmankantaja - Metsäuhri

5.Wiegedood - There's Always Blood At The End Of The Road

even though 2021's list isn't final yet (are they ever?) - I'm compelled any-damn-way to rank the 2022's I've been bamboozled with the most... most of it happens to be metal in some way or another - but, like my previous ones... non-metal albums that kick my ass (softly?) will surely be included, as well - hope it helps or is at least interesting to even one MS'er! (even if that MS'er is me hehe)
