Here are the albums that I have heard so far in 2013. The list will grow as I listen to more albums that come out (which doesn't seem like much compared to 2012, but I'll take what I get regardless). This list is listed from what I hear first to last (Dustwalker by Fen is the first album I heard this year), not by rank. Album ranks will be placed in each description.

1.Fen - Dustwalker

2.Riverside - Shrine Of New Generation Slaves

3.Cult Of Luna - Vertikal

4.Steven Wilson - The Raven That Refused To Sing (And Other Stories)

5.Darkthrone - The Underground Resistance

To commemorate the top 100 albums of 2010 - 2019 I thought I would follow suit and make a list of my own. This has been a very challenging task to say the least. As I reflected on the releases from the last 10 years, it became increasingly difficult to settle on album rankings. In the interest of getting my top 100 published I am potentially releasing the list a little prematurely. The top 30 or so are quite firm. I don't anticipate much change in those albums, however, there could be some mobility throughout the rest of the list.

1.Ulcerate - The Destroyers Of All

2.Esoteric - A Pyrrhic Existence

3.Un - Sentiment

4.Mournful Congregation - The Incubus Of Karma

5.Ulcerate - Shrines Of Paralysis
