My top to bottom list of everything from 2021 I've spent time with and have also purchased either physically or digitally (which is why most of them have high ratings). Releases featured on MS only. Whole number ratings out of 10 and my personal opinions included.

NOTE: I am no longer updating this list. 2021 was a very busy year for me personally so I did not get to as much music as I wanted... here's to fixing that in 2022. You can check the list out here: https://metalstorm.net/users/list.php?list_id=7089

1.Vola - Witness

2.Between The Buried And Me - Colors II

2021 is the year that I start (or started, if you're reading this in 2022 or later) getting back into all things metal. Here're albums I liked from January 2021. This list is short AF because I only started listening to metal again regularly during the last week of January.

1.Mefitis - Offscourings

2.Asphyx - Necroceros

3.Yoth Iria - As The Flame Withers

4.Nervosa - Perpetual Chaos
