At last but not least, my list of my favorite albums of 2011, a year on which I've been quite far from music because of my medical duties, but after some months listening to all the things I've been missing, I can say this albums are the ones I enjoyed the most last year. I was quite hard to order them, because in my humble opinion, most of them deserve the first place of their particular genre.

1. Graveyard - Hisingen Blues

2. 40 Watt Sun - The Inside Room

3. Esoteric - Paragon Of Dissonance

4. Loss (USA) - Despond

5. Maligno - The Funeral Domine

Well it seems to be the popular thing to do (creating a 2011 faves list) so why shouldn't I jump on the bandwagon too...

1. Abysmal Dawn - Leveling The Plane Of Existence

2. After Oblivion - Vultures

3. Archspire - All Shall Align

4. Before The Dawn - Deathstar Rising

5. Beyond Creation - The Aura

Purely subjective list based on personal preferences for the year, unrelated to mass opinion of an album or a band's abilities (e.g. Trivium, Oranssi Pazuzu) - many albums lined up to listen to so will increase in size. Also, not entirely in order, middle order mainly just an approximation.

1. Sylosis - Edge Of The Earth

2. Protest The Hero - Scurrilous

3. Infestus - E x I s t

4. Amorphis - The Beginning Of Times

5. Ouroboros - Glorification Of A Myth
