Updated with a couple of albums, last one being a progressive rock band from Poland called Amarok. Not to be confused with the black metal band Amarok, also from Poland.

Good list. I've to check out some of the picks you mentioned. It's still pending from my side.

One suggestion: there is lot less inclusion of stoner/sludge/doom releases, when in fact 2024 have some great releases this year.
