Albums from 2013 worth being considered for a replay, I'm already having trouble remembering some of them. I'll TRY to order them from the one I liked most to the least.
I'm taking a passive stand to this year's music since I'm dedicating myself to old records currently, so probably 3/4 of the stuff I checked out came to me from this site one way or another

1.Cult Of Luna - Vertikal

2.Corrections House - Last City Zero

3.Dreadnought - Lifewoven

4.Ayreon - The Theory Of Everything

5.Obscure Sphinx - Void Mother

Pretty self explanatory. Although I usually forget to keep these kinds of lists up all year so we'll see if I keep this one up all year or forget about this one too after a couple months...

1.Abyssal - Novit Enim Dominus Qui Sunt Eius

2.Amiensus - Restoration

3.Lascaille's Shroud - Interval 01: Parallel Infinities - The Inner Universe

Within the past decade, black metal has seen bands from all over the world incorporating new sounds to the genre and changing its delivery like never before. As great as the classic bands are, BM bands today seem to be branching out in every possible direction. From the beautiful chaos of the French bands, to the developing psychedelic black metal style, and even the Avantgarde craziness of the Meads or work from Mories... all the experimentation is helping to create a bold new identity for the genre's sound. Black metal today could very well be the one area of metal where we see the most experimentation taking place, and I hope the albums in this list will illustrate this growing trend.

1.Necromantia - Crossing The Fiery Path

2.Ved Buens Ende - Written In Waters

3.Woods Of Belial - Deimos XIII

4.Deathspell Omega - Fas - Ite, Maledicti, In Ignem Aeternum

5.Blut Aus Nord - MoRT
