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
