Lately I have found that I am really, really into melodeath and doom/melancholic metal albums. I enjoy other genres, but after a while I keep reverting back to a small list of masterpieces.

This is a list of these albums. They somehow keep finding their way back into my CD player. As it happens, they (mostly) fit in the following genres:

1. Ghost Brigade - Isolation Songs

2. Katatonia - Dead End Kings

3. Amorphis - The Beginning Of Times

4. Before The Dawn - Deathstar Rising

5. Insomnium - Across The Dark

Here is my list for what I consider to be the top 20 best albums from the year 2012. Keep in mind that one of them is not featured on Metal Storm, and one of them is an EP.

1. Beyond The Bridge - The Old Man and the Spirit

2. Wintersun - Time I

3. Katatonia - Dead End Kings

4. Circus Maximus - Nine

5. Sylvan - Sceneries

Note; Anything I rate lower than 8 I deem underwhelming. Sure, I might even acknowledge some of them as being rather enjoyble, but considering the "bigger picture of things", I find them unsatisfactory (in varying degrees, depending on their rating).

Partially ordered (the ones with descriptions). The rest are arranged alphabetically.

1. Sybreed - God Is An Automaton

2. Gorod - A Perfect Absolution

3. The Faceless - Autotheism

4. Ihsahn - Eremita

5. A Million Dead Birds Laughing - Xen

While I'm slightly disappointed the world didn't end this year, I thought I'd share my musical tastes from throughout the year by arbitrarily ranking other people's art. When the year began I was really into sludge and stoner but as the year has worn on, it's been the black metal releases which by and large have won my attention and appreciation.

1. Royal Thunder - CVI

2. Ancestors - In Dreams and Time

3. Merrimack - The Acausal Mass

4. Hail Spirit Noir - Pneuma

5. Hidden Orchestra - Archipelago
