Phoenix Rising Through Fire: Top 10 Metal Albums Of 2019

Another year, another top 10, or should I say top 25 of the year. Plenty of good albums, but Månegarm, Borknagar and Insomnium without a doubt top albums of the year. Villagers of Ioannina City is a revelation of the year, and while it might not be "metal" definitely one of the top albums of this year. Blind Guardian is not bad, far from it, but I expected so much more from this album hence it (un)deservedly gets to bear the shame of the letdown, although it is a decent album. Maybe I expected too much from it. One of the bands that deserve more attention this year for certain is Croatian Old Night, a real masterpiece when it comes to doom. Another recommendation would be Serbian Svartgren with their new black metal album called Divlja Vatra, or Wildfire. The rest of it pretty much boils down to personal taste and preferences. Darkwater and Bloodbound were a very pleasant surprise when it comes to progressive and power metal respectively. When it comes to symphonic and progressive metal, Wilderun was another pleasant surprise, a band I discovered recently through metalstorm website..

1.Månegarm - Fornaldarsagor
2.Borknagar - True North
3.Insomnium - Heart Like A Grave
4.Beast In Black - From Hell With Love
5.Swallow The Sun - When A Shadow Is Forced Into The Light

The Ship Of Theseus: When Are Bands No Longer Themselves

The ship of Theseus is a thought experiment that goes along the lines of a ship whose wooden parts are replaced one by one until all of its original parts have been replaced. The question is then raised at which point did the ship stop being its original self. When the first part was replaced? When half the parts were replaced? When the last part was replaced?

1.Quiet Riot - Road Rage
2.Napalm Death - Harmony Corruption
3.In Flames - Sounds Of A Playground Fading
4.Stratovarius - Nemesis
5.Immortal - Northern Chaos Gods
