1.Equilibrium - Sagas
2.Equilibrium - Turis Fratyr
3.Septicflesh - Communion

2008: The Amphibian Halo (as In 'my Blurry View Of 2008')

Updated version of the list previously published here. You'll notice that the comments are a bit different for sure, as is the order:
1 to 3: best of the year (in preference order)
4 to 25: other great stuff (alphabetical order)

And then there were some average (sometimes bad, sometimes good) albums that didn't make it in this list, but they featured some of the most awesome songs of the year. Like Voices Of The Fallen by Battlelore, Dylath-Leen's Frozen Reflect On A Broken Mirror, and particularly Iced Earth's Come What May...

1.Textures - Silhouettes
2.Esoteric - The Maniacal Vale
3.Burst - Lazarus Bird
4.ADX - Division Blindée
5.Cynic - Traced In Air
