Hooray! This is (yet another) 2017 list. Take a drink. Seeing as everyone else is doing one, might as well get off my lazy ass and vomit one out as well.

2017 was a weird and, at least February through July, an absolutely miserable year which has impacted my production and metal consumption. While I've digested a lot of metal, as you can see from my (almost non-existent) content output, not one that perhaps impacted me like prior years. Largely due to personal circumstance.

1.Emptiness - Not For Music

2.Funeralium - Of Throes And Blight

3.Bell Witch - Mirror Reaper

4.The Great Old Ones - EOD: A Tale Of Dark Legacy

5.Loss (USA) - Horizonless

Some list from 2017, 1-13 is in order, rest is just what I have heard and what is good to mention. I don't made this to please MS elitists staffers, spammers, ordinary users, shotbox freaks, media and what so ever. This list is what I think was best from this year and its my own thoughts, I don't care what other things, never have and never will!

1.Iced Earth - Incorruptible

2.Sun Of The Sleepless - To The Elements

3.Evertale - The Great Brotherwar

4.Paradise Lost - Medusa

5.Wolves In The Throne Room - Thrice Woven

1.Grift - Arvet

2.Major Parkinson - Blackbox

3.Kreator - Gods Of Violence

4.Wintersun - The Forest Seasons

5.Vintersorg - Till Fjälls Del II

If you were ever following my 2017 list in the beginning of the year and are wondering what happened to that one: well, basically MS deleted it itself. More like half of it. When I was in the mark of 120 albums or so and were updating the stuff, that bug which sometimes happens where some of the albums get cut from the preview happened... And I didn't see it. And I clicked on the submit button... So in the end only the first 50 albums of my original list were now showing and THE REST GOT ALL FUCKING DELETED, so yeah... I got pissed. And deleted the whole thing.

2.AdyS - Pretending

3.Ame To Kanmuri - Nou

4.Ayame - Lumiere Ambree
