stingy year of albums for me. Not the best year too, but in unluck i'm still here alive.

and i'm deeply sad that Bandcamp has been acquired by Epic Games, only for the purpose to going against Google. Damn my eye if i hate so much when greedy and shitty big tech company not respectful of privacy (both of them) ruins healty tech company that gives the right to artists (expecially indipendent ones) and customers. Well, time to buy on Bandcamp only on bandcamp friday.

2.Saor - Origins

3.An Abstract Illusion - Woe

4.Die Apokalyptischen Reiter - Wilde Kinder

I've played somewhere in the region of 1200 albums this year - there's been a lot of great stuff among them, so this will not be an easy list to narrow down - I'd like to say I can be stricter than the 25 I had in last year's list, but to be honest I feel like the competition for 25 spots is more intense this time around, so I'll stick to that (making this the top 2% of albums I heard this year) - shoutouts to Gloson, The Nest, Sum Of R, Process Of Guilt, Dysnostic and Aeviterne, who probably would have had good shots of making it onto this list if I'd made the time to revisit them more. Also shoutout to Laere and Euphrosyne, whose EPs in Clandestine Cuts indicate exceedingly promising futures

1.Psychonaut - Violate Consensus Reality

2.Disillusion - Ayam
