Very hard to sort this one. A different year with albums from all sorts of genres. Not the best year but also far from the worst. Mörk Gryning was the pleasant surprise of the year with their best album since "Tusen år har gått..."

Turmion Kätilöt released the catchiest song of all time, "Revi Minut Auki".

1.Anaal Nathrakh - Endarkenment

2.Mörk Gryning - Hinsides Vrede

3.Dark Tranquillity - Moment

4.Haken - Virus

5.Lustre - The Ashes Of Light
