Every year, hundreds of albums are written and released for people to buy and hopefully not steal. I spend most of my free time searching far and wide for new music, most of which only very few people know about. This list will contain all the albums released this year that I listened to, and what I thought of it. The rating system is as follows:
Based = Awesome, Perfect
Chill = Solid, Substantial
Dope = Good-not-great, Something I'll only listen to if I'm bored
Retarded = Mediocre, Unremarkable
Mindfucked = Complete waste of time
Also, there will be albums that aren't metal that will appear here, just cause.

1.1349 - Massive Cauldron Of Chaos

2.Abigor - Leytmotif Luzifer - The 7 Temptations Of Man

3.Aborted - The Necrotic Manifesto

4.Aenaon - Extance

5.Agalloch - The Serpent & The Sphere

1.Agalloch - Marrow Of The Spirit

2.Alcest - Souvenirs D'un Autre Monde

3.Amesoeurs - Amesoeurs

4.SubRosa - More Constant Than The Gods

5.Evoken - Atra Mors

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.

1.Beyond Creation - Earthborn Evolution

2.Artificial Brain - Labyrinth Constellation

3.Ophis - Abhorrence In Opulence

4.Ghost Brigade - IV - One With The Storm

5.Infestus - The Reflecting Void

***UPDATED REGULARLY*** My List of Albums that I've Listened to in 2014. Order: Best to Worst. I listened to all of these albums at least a minimum of 3 times. I do my best efforts to listen to as many different types of metal as I can. I may rate albums higher then some would, but that's my opinion and at least I'm supporting bands, not hating on them.(not going to give out 1's and 2's cause I know it's hard work to put together these albums, unless it's just white noise of course).

1.Revocation - Deathless

2.Allegaeon - Elements Of The Infinite

3.Aenaon - Extance

4.Chelsea Grin - Ashes To Ashes

5.The Kindred - Life In Lucidity
