Compiled for personal recollection as much as it is for public scrutiny, I hope this list leads you somewhere you want to go. No Order whatsoever. I'm using ♦ to rate the albums, there's really no scale, the more ♦ there is, the better I like the album.

1.The Ruins Of Beverast - Blood Vaults (The Blazing Gospel Of Heinrich Kramer)

2.Gris - À L'Âme Enflammée, L'Äme Constellée...

3.Witherscape - The Inheritance

4.Wormlust - The Feral Wisdom

5.Ulcerate - Vermis

That's the 2013 gnirpz's essentials in order, following the releases along the year. Every ranking should be based on production quality, originality, musical technicality and specs like that.

Unfortunatelly, mine is based on headbanging, taste of beer, air guitar and air drum solos.
