The top four albums: absolutely stunning. However, looking back at 2021 and the albums I've voted for, there was a lot of stuff which made me say: "what the hell is that?"

A forgetable year? Could be. Surprise of the year? Either a japanese speed metal band that I have never heard of, An Autumn for Crippled Children releasing an album sounding like their glory days or the fact that Korpiklaani made it into the list.

1.Be'lakor - Coherence

2.Tribulation - Where The Gloom Becomes Sound

3.Darkwoods My Betrothed - Angel Of Carnage Unleashed

4.Stormkeep - Tales Of Othertime

5.Duskmourn - Fallen Kings And Rusted Crowns

After clocking well over 700 albums in 2020, I'm hoping 2021 will be a bit busier IRL and thus slightly less comprehensively covered in these lists, but let's see - with all the new strains emerging, who TF knows when we might return to a semblance of normality. Until then, I'll be trying to make sure that nothing noteworthy passes my radar.

1.Vulgaris - Asundre

2.Dvne - Etemen Ænka

3.Heliocentric - Ishmael

4.Decline Of The I - Johannes

5.Dordeduh - Har
