Albums from 2013 worth being considered for a replay, I'm already having trouble remembering some of them. I'll TRY to order them from the one I liked most to the least.
I'm taking a passive stand to this year's music since I'm dedicating myself to old records currently, so probably 3/4 of the stuff I checked out came to me from this site one way or another

1. Corrections House - Last City Zero

2. Dreadnought - Lifewoven

3. Ayreon - The Theory Of Everything

4. Obscure Sphinx - Void Mother

5. Kayo Dot - Hubardo

Compiled for personal recollection as much as it is for public scrutiny, I hope this list leads you somewhere you want to go. No Order whatsoever. I'm using ♦ to rate the albums, there's really no scale, the more ♦ there is, the better I like the album.

1. The Ruins of Beverast - Blood Vaults (The Blazing Gospel of Heinrich Kramer)

2. Gris - À L'Âme Enflammée, L'Äme Constellée...

3. Witherscape - The Inheritance

4. Wormlust - The Feral Wisdom

5. Ulcerate - Vermis

That's the 2013 gnirpz's essentials in order, following the releases along the year. Every ranking should be based on production quality, originality, musical technicality and specs like that.

Unfortunatelly, mine is based on headbanging, taste of beer, air guitar and air drum solos.

2013 feelings, form best to worst

1. Gris - À L'Âme Enflammée, L'Äme Constellée...

2. Ghost B.C. - Infestissumam

3. Deafheaven - Sunbather
