Well I have to say this must be my favorite album from 2014 because of one simple thing. I have listened to it so fucking many more times than any other album from that year. I didn't get it until late in the year so I'm not even sure I mentioned it before. Razor sharp black metal with just a hint of folkyness, just a hint of ambience, and a bit of traditional metal influence (this is what really gets me, I think) thrown in for good measure.
Satanic Warmaster - Fimbulwinter
Edit: I remember everyone speaking about how well executed Mgla's album was last year, this trumps it in every way, IMO.
