3. Embrional - Evil Dead

4. Malevolent Creation - The 13th Beast

Spiritual guide to a very musical and probably sexless 2019.
Scores:
10 = Best ever, and probably thinking on getting it on vinyl
9 = Best of the year, will revisit frequently even on years to come
8 = Excellent, on heavy rotation this year
7 = Great, will re-listen one or two times
6 = Good, but won't listen again
5 = Worth a mention, but not for me
1-4= Not worth a mention so they won't be here
TBR = to be rated

1. Strigae - I​:​Collision

2. Comma - And Deeper Than Oblivion Do We Bury

3. Grusig - Dr Ahfang vor Misäärä

4. Obed Marsh - Dunwich

5. Krallice - Wolf Ep
