I have never attempted to create a complete end of the year list so far, but here it is. It consists of the albums that I have either purchased myself throughout the year (most of them), or that I still spent enough time listening to to get a more or less complete impression (a few). I know that there are countless albums out there that I haven't paid any attention to so far and I might change the list a bit in the coming months because of that. Since I am mostly listening to Black Metal, expect to see a lot from that genre in my list.

1. Forteresse - Thèmes Pour La Rébellion

2. Mare Cognitum - Luminiferous Aether

3. Schammasch - Triangle

4. Inquisition - Bloodshed Across The Empyrean Altar Beyond The Celestial Zenith

5. Anaal Nathrakh - The Whole Of The Law

Well, we're days away from 2016 and now 2016 albums are either streaming or leaking, therefore here starts my journey in 2016. Once again I consider myself interesting enough for it to be worthy of you to gaze upon the albums I listen to.

Edit: Now that it is 2016 this list is finally legit. Will also try to add stream links whenever possible.

1. Death Fetishist - Whorifice

2. The Lumberjack Feedback - Blackened Visions

3. Vinterblot - Realms Of The Untold

4. Temple Of Evil - The 7th Awakening

5. Lycus - Chasms

Same deal as my doom list: this is for my own organizational purposes and is designed purely to help me keep track of all the many black metal bands and albums that I enjoy, since I can't keep all of this information in my head. It has no other benefit whatsoever and will likely result in tantrums should anyone else see it. I'm aware that I haven't listened to every black metal album that I should have. I only went down to the 7s on this list, so it's possible that I have listened to your favorite album that you desperately need to suggest and I thought it was terrible. There are a lot of heinously incompetent black metal bands out there.

1. Forefather - Ours Is The Kingdom

2. Sigh - Graveward

3. Forefather - Steadfast

4. Dissection - Storm Of The Light's Bane

5. Mayhem - De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas
