The very best of 2005: your top 10 list

[MajestikMøøse]

Ok, so now it's looking like:

Moonsorrow - Verisäkeet
Sólstafir - Masterpiece of Bitterness
Nokturnal Mortum - Weltanschauung
Mournful Congregation - The Monad Of Creation
Primordial - The Gathering Wilderness
Helrunar - Frostnacht
Drudkh - The Swan Road
Negura Bunget - Inarborat Kosmos

maybe Triarii and YOB as well.

I don't think it's very likely to change anytime soon.

1. Nile - Annihilation of the Wicked

Why does everyone like this

I'm a huge DM fanboy, and I like almost everything that is fast, brutal and full of blasting, but I think this is the LETDOWN OF THE YEAR. I like all the other Nile releases, but "Annihilation" does absolutely NOTHING for me.


Well, that was a lie, cause I like "Lashed To The Slave Stick" and "Cast Down The Heretic", but still..

 

[Thanatopsis123]

Why does everyone like this

Not everyone does. I'm in the same boat you are. I don't get what others saw in this.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

I cant help but love AotW. nothing comes close to surpassing it.

 

[cthulufhtagn]

yeah it's pretty fucking sweet, i don't understand how people think it's so different from their other albums

 

[Claws of Perdition]

it just really struck a chord with me, love it
