For me and for you. In the end I hope it will be a mix of hipsterish, devilish, noisyness and some calmness - then it was a good year. For me so I can go back and listen multiple times at albums I found instead of forgetting them, specially those not featured here. For you to find some new music - dont be that guy that only listens to stuff you found yourself. The best bands are at the top, so best to worst. To keep some control I will restrict it to bands that are like 7.5+++. Some of these bands feature on my other list. If there are some obvious albums missing here its probably intentional - I didnt like it. But recs are appreciated. Cheers!

1. Antichrist (PER) - Pax Moriendi

2. Portal - ION

3. Our Place of Worship Is Silence - With Inexorable Suffering

4. Mournful Congregation - The Incubus Of Karma
