11:43 - MadHatter

Mine is definitely Suns II. With Suns IV, Opeth, Kinship and KGLW all sharing the second place

03:32 - no one

Paysage dhiver - Die Berge, Wardruna - Birna. Pretty hard to say, but off the top of my head

01:18 - VileVick

I did like Obsidian, I also liked Project: Regeneration Vol. 1 by Static-x. I guess that's my fav of 2020.

00:45 - RoyBoy432

Favorite album since 2020... If I had to choose a single favorite one this very instant, I'd pick Stare Into Death And Be Still by Ulcerate

21:45 - Sir Yupp

Obsidian by Paradise Lost would be my current answer, but there's a bunch that could overtake it on the next listen.

21:22 - Fiorentina

For me, the best is Darkness Invisible

18:14 - SelfXPlanetOrE

Agents of Oblivion is slept on af also.
