I must have missed out on a great deal of releases in 2020 because there is very few here I recall listening to. I look forward to seeing this list grow and might check a few out myself along the way

Here's a few of my personal favorites from 2020:

Panzerfaust - The Suns Of Perdition - Chapter II: Render Unto Eden

Regarde Les Hommes Tomber - Ascension

Wayfarer - A Romance With Violence

Hellripper - The Affair Of The Poisons

Necrophobic - Dawn Of The Damned

Thanks! I know I listened to those Hellripper and Wayfarer releases but I’m adding on as I listen again so this is a perfect time to revisit! I will check out the others for sure!
