That Infernal Conjuration album is pretty killer. Could see it possibly ranking fairly high with more time and listens


EDIT: Forgot about that Necroripper album. Everything from 5 moved down a spot and Xoth is out.....Possessed stays at the tenth spot

I'm keen! Updated list. Previous list of 5 was pathetic. I'd barely heard anything and I what I had heard I'd barely listened to.

1. Vulture's Vengeance - The Knightlore

Gotta go into full hyperbole for this one; absolutely unreal, magical heavy metal, epic riffs and solos blazing like a warrior on his last fucking glorious ride. As much as I love the next entry on my list there's an enormous gulf between them. A once in a generation masterpiece

It's the call of the thunder, heard by the brave ones that don't fear fate!

2. Megaton Sword - Niralet

More epic heavy metal, this time more muscular and direct but impressively well realized for a debut release (these guys didn't even have a demo out prior to this!)

I stand my ground
Will never surrender
Don’t care if the darkest darkness embraces my hall
In fact, I AM THE GROUND!
Nothing under my feet other than the lacerated bodies of my enemies!


3. Ultra Silvam - The Spearwound Salvation

Raging hateful Swedish black metal in the old way

And from the twisting chasm cunt
The sinister abortion - Abaddon emerge!


4. Riot City - Burn the Night

Everyone seems to prefer Electric Elite but I think this one has the edge. Definitely like this vocalist more. Just classic heavy metal with boundless energy

Watch out they'll come to get you
Chain the door lock you up
With no promise you'll survive!


5. Parkcrest - ...And that Blue Will Turn to Red

Ripping Chilean thrash, riffs and savagery, no more words really needed

Wrong Life, now I feel
Enraged, depressed
So I say I will hatred 'till die!!!


6. Necroripper - Amulepe Taiñ Weichan

Another CHILE THRASH album, this one even more underheard. Features a vocalist than can summon Atilla's DMDS voice at will to great effect. Highly recommended

You know the present lie
You know the future die
You'll hear my scream from the grave!


7. Mefitis - Emberdawn

In crowd album of the year I guess? Classic melodic Finnish/Swedish sound anyway

Grow as blight on the living
Hone, teeth to bone


8. Darkthrone - Old Star

Old man Darkthrone has grown on me in a big, big way in the couple of years. Packed with riffs and an undeniable, undying metal spirit

Hail the satan
Sinister duke of gloat!


9. Mystik - Mystik

mystik.jpg

Satanic Swedish sluts with some serious speed metal chops

Covered in spikes and leather
And core made of steel!


10. Smoulder - Times of Obscene Evil and Wild Daring

smoulder.jpg

Epic heavy/doom. Saw some people making comparisons to Eternal Champion but I don't really hear it - this vocalist doesn't have half the passion or charisma for a start. Good stuff though

The conqueror meets his eldritch death
Body stiffens under soul-crushing iron despair!


Need to update my 2020 and 2021 lists next. 2022 will probably get an edit before the deadline too

Well, we could do 2021 first, and then do a bumper thread where we see how much our lists have changed for all years. By the time you get to evaluating 2021 again you might find your list for it has changed!

We'll just run them all one after another, it can be like the way they used to paint the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Start at one end in January, go right around and by the time it's finished it's December they need to start again.


Saddest part looking over those older years is seeing how much more participation we used to get.

Yeah but that's cause you called everyone a cunt and only the strongest survived.

Since you guys are dropping lists I figured I'd redo mine too. :cool:
2019 feels so much longer ago than it actually is. The pre-pandemic days before my perception of time got raped into the dirt.

tbf fashy wainds only drove baroque away, it was more general group bullying that got rid of the likes of jimmy, mr fastforward, oz, manic etc. plus omni has less active accounts nowadays…
 
it’s also been even deader than this in the past though. before you registered there was a real barren period iirc, also that time you left for a bit due to fashy wainds was hilariously dead haha

i do sometimes wonder if i should just fucking promote the board to some non-fagtarded metal people and see if any bite.
