Follow Me Through 2015.

Yep. I'm arrogant and unoriginal enough to think you'd be interested in reading about everything - the good and the bad - I have listened to that's been released in 2015.
- Will assign ratings (which are always susceptible to change), with a short justification, links, links to reviews (by me) if there are any.
- The albums to which I assigned a ★ are great new discoveries, or really original, or albums I didn't expect to be so good.

1.Twin Shadow - Eclipse
2.Viet Cong - Viet Cong
3.Death Engine - Mud
4.Marilyn Manson - The Pale Emperor
5.Caïna - Setter Of Unseen Snares

Women of Doom

Doom is my favorite sub genre of metal. One of the main reason being is the sheer diversity it offers, not only in terms of styles but also vocally. Female vocalists are no exception and that is what I want to highlight with this list. The few criteria I have set is that it obviously has to be doom metal of some sort and that it vocally is either sole female vocals or at least for the majority of an albums duration, i.e no "beauty and the beast"-style bands.

New bands are of course constantly forming so this is by no means a complete list. Feel free to suggest bands that might be missing.

Enjoy! \m/

1.(Dolch) - Feuer
2.13 - Hollow / Bound
3.A Tree Of Signs - Salt
4.Acid King - Busse Woods
5.Albino Python - The Doomed And The Damned

Top 30 Instrumental/Guitar Heroes Albums Of All Time

Welcome to the sphere my friends. I'm talking about albums made by Guitar Heroes, with extreme creativity and skills. As you know, this is not the biggest musical genre because there are many amazing guitar players, but not that much amazing Guitar Heroes albums which deserves a true attention in their wholeness. For the little story of my life, I used to begin listening to metal with Yngwie, Joe and Steve Vai in 2005 or something like that. And when I bought my first electric guitar in 2005, I first started to try Vai's songs while you all know EVERY beginer starts playing with Nirvana or Red Hot Chili Peppers
Anyway, I hope you will enjoy my playlist. These albums are great to me, and it's always a pleasure to listen to them so many years after. I admit that GH albums are not my first preocupation today (if you take a look to my other lists, you will see), but this is the source of my passion, and each time I discover a good piece of them I bring it here, when I think about it. Enjoy

1.Yngwie Malmsteen - Rising Force
2.Cacophony - Speed Metal Symphony
3.Jeff Loomis - Zero Order Phase
4.Joe Satriani - Surfing With The Alien
5.Jason Becker - Perpetual Burn

Who Needs A Throat Anyway.

All things modern hardcore. There will be no grind or sludgcore in this list in order to avoid duplicates. You will find some grind here and some sludgecore here. If it is classic hardcore punk you seek, I advise you to try Lit.'s list.

- Since I moved those heavy ones, I'll need some time to rearrange and fill this up with all the hardcore goodness I said no to before.

1.Death Engine - Mud
2.Silent Planet - The Night God Slept
3.Idylls - Prayer For Terrene
4.Plebeian Grandstand - Lowgazers
5.Fjørt - D'accord
