Another year, another list. Every 2024 release I hear at least once in entirety will be featured here. This is not a best-of nor a ranking so albums will be displayed in chronological order (newest at the top). (I had to restart this list because I accidentally deleted the last one lol).

1.2 Wolves - Not Worth It

2.Unleash The Archers - Phantoma

3.As The Sun Falls - Kaamos

3.Eternal Storm - A Giant Bound To Fall

4.Cave Sermon - Divine Laughter

5.Dark Oath - Ages Of Man

So it begins. 3rd year at MS, 5th year of devoted metal listening. Nothing particularly exciting coming up, but Eternal Storm looks promising, and any new Persefone is a good thing. It's early days after all.

Goal? I made it to 625 albums last year, with a pretty slack first 6 months. Aiming for 800.

Update: This list is officially discontinued, apart from albums that are good enough to warrant multiple listens, aka the top end. There are various reasons for this, but a lot of changes are happening in life and I cannot/do not want to give this much time to every release I can.

1.Aquilus - Bellum II

2.Cave Sermon - Divine Laughter

3.Illumishade - Another Side Of You

4.Persefone - Lingua Ignota: Part I
