InnerDoom

The wide spectrum of sounds expressed through the sub-genre of Doom Metal often gets overshadowed by the somehow inaccessible slowness that is in its nature and so DM doesn't get the recognition it deserves for being, in my opinion, one of the most flexible subgenres of Metal ... Because of that, Doom Metal has remained among my favorite genres of music since the time I was introduced to it through My Dying Bride's "Turn Loose the Swans".

1.Esoteric - The Maniacal Vale
2.Saturnus - Martyre
3.Lacrimas Profundere - Memorandum
4.My Dying Bride - Turn Loose The Swans
5.Process Of Guilt - Erosion

For true doom metal fans out there!!

2011 Suggestions For The Eclectic Metalhead

If you're like me and can't sit still with just one or two genres, perhaps you'll find some ideas in this list. I kept the variety with genres, but also by including all worthy bands from unknown newcomers all the way up to big names. Basically, everything I liked this year.

Since there are so many genres here, don't get too worked up about specific rating and placement. They're generally in order, but more importantly they're all amazing.

1.Silent Stream Of Godless Elegy - Návaz
2.Fair To Midland - Arrows & Anchors
3.Autumn - Cold Comfort
4.Shadowside - Inner Monster Out
5.40 Watt Sun - The Inside Room

Anno Domini 2011 (updated 20.01.13)

Even in 2012 (update: 2013), 2011 still isn't too hot a year for me. Still, new stuff keeps on coming, and 2012 itself is looking pretty good, so I'll forgive it. New in the new year is the lack of ratings. It's bothersome, especially since I've decided to sacrifice a few newborns and (retrospectively and retroactively) rate on RYM.

1.Hell - Human Remains
2.SubRosa - No Help For The Mighty Ones
3.Anubis Gate - Anubis Gate
4.Hammers Of Misfortune - 17th Street
5.Mastodon - The Hunter
