As if any of you would stand any chance.

That is Stranger Things' fault

ok, I get it

Don't see why I don't get to have the fun of doing an end of year rundown just cos I'm not an official contributer:

Favorite Album: At the moment, probably Rolo Tomassi - Time Will Die And Love Will Bury It, but I have a suspicion with a couple more spins Ingrina - Etter Lys could match it.
Best Home-Country Album: Rolo Tomassi - Time Will Die And Love Will Bury It
Most Played Song: In this year, probably Currents - Night Terrors. From this year, possibly Amorphis - Heart Of The Giant.
Most Promising Band: Ingrina's album was a revelation, and I'm excited to see where Sunnata goes next after Outlands.
Best Concert: Neurosis at Hellfest were unbelievable, but seeing Isis live in LA was a bucket list achievement I never expected to fulfil.
Biggest Disappointment: Possibly Monuments - Phronesis, given how much I've come to love The Amanuensis it feels like a huge step back, but I can get some enjoyment out of it at least.
Metal Moment Of 2018: Passing my PhD viva was pretty cool, as was climbing Angel's Landing in Zion. If it has to be metal music, the last 5 minutes of Through Silver In Blood at Hellfest was pretty unfortgettable.
And 2019?: Not sure who's coming out with music; I keep hoping Sylosis get round to doing something but no idea what Josh's priorities are like at the moment, and sounds like there's murmurings from Cult of Luna. In terms of gigs, contemplating going to Download to see Tool, and just got a ticket to see Neurosis in Birmingham, so should be plenty more epicness to look forward to.

Flew in from Denver and went back the following morning, not cheap but totally worth it

This becomes a great folder for me to check out records I missed.

Thanks for heads up on Ingrina. Checked them out. I agree, after a few spins could be a top fav of '18 . Spotify suggests a few blackgaze bands as comps. Don't know anything about them but they got more going on than typical blackgaze bands. A little mathy sounding, although they might not be playing in "exotic" time sigs.

No worries man! I found them when tea[m]ster quoted a few top post-metal albums from 2018 on the album thread of the most recent The Ocean album; the others he suggested were good (Besra, WOWOD, Subnoir) but Ingrina really stood out. I'm still not super familiar with it (although I've given it another listen since I posted this and I'm still loving it) but I would definitely class it more as post-metal/rock than metalgaze (although I guess the lines between those two can get a bit blurry at times). I'm not quite sure how similar they really are, but another really good album from the last couple of years that's been linked with metalgaze/post-rock that you might like is Heretoir - The Circle; I've given that a few plays in the last few months and really dug it.

Shit albums, especially that fuckhead BitterCOld

ignore him, a multi of an account that had already been banned. Got his 2nd account and IP banned. Funniest of all is he held a grudge for 6 years after getting his votes nuked for abuse, calls our tastes into question but scored a Five Finger Death Punch album and Load a "10".

but welcome to a "behind the scenes" look at my by inbox.

Favorite Album: way to many, but here is just few
Best Home-Country Album: Armory (SWE) - The Search
Most Played Song: I dunno
Most Promising Band: cant name none
Best Concert: None
Biggest Disappointment (saddest news): MS did not catch some good albums and didnt do bunch of updates. Its not as it use to be. Virgine Steele new work ehhhh
Metal Moment Of 2018: Same new albums in classic stiles, and many craft beers and cigars
And 2019?: Keep digging deeper in PM, ignore drone, modern DM and something like that, more craft beer, whisky and cigar and stop caring about sinking ship so much

I can't help but wonder what you're still doing here then. Oh wait, you have a second account to upvote your own posts. Fuck, it must feel very sad and lonely in your mom's basement.

Taste is subjective mate, neither your taste nor mine is better.

Yes but say it that to others

Tastes change, people changes, music changes, the music industry changes.

10 years ago during the awards process I might have checked out 60 records that year. Thanks to bandcamp, spotify and other options, even though I spend less time listening to metal than in the past, i listened to almost three times as many releases this year.
