A little list series where I list my top 20 favorite metal albums every year starting from the year I was born in.

2019 was solid year to end the decade with great releases in Progressive and black metal, doom metal had a strong showing and I finally found a deathcore band that I care about, the 2010's may not have been the most influential decade in metal but it did had a punch of great releases, that might be considered classics down the line, time will tell.


My favorite non metal albums of 2019

1. Remind Me Tomorrow
By Sharon Van Etten (Indie Pop, Synthpop)


2. GREY Area
By Little Simz(UK Hip Hop, Conscious Hip Hop)


3.Titanic Rising
By Weyes Blood (Art pop, Dream pop)


4. Morbid Stuff
By PUP (pop punk)


5. There Existed an Addiction to Blood
By clipping. (Industrial Hip Hop, Horrorcore)

In 2018 I decided to listen to as many albums as possible, and succeeded in finding new interesting stuff. But it took much effort, and in the end I think I wasn't really smart in my choices, so this year I'll try to do the same with higher creteria. Hopefully the list will grow without losing tightness like it did back then. I'm watching every new entry to MS database, and these are the few albums which caught my attention. - I mean, I'm pretty jaded so these are the only releases I've been able to sit through without complaining.

1.Sabbath Assembly - A Letter Of Red

2.Helium Horse Fly - Hollowed

3.Lingua Ignota - Caligula

4.Health - Vol.4 :: Slaves Of Fear

5.Bent Knee - You Know What They Mean
