Top 20 albums of 2014

Great year, especially when it comes to melodic stuff. So glad that At the Gates and Empyrium delivered something solid. Even happier that Vanhelga really has become a "Lifelover 2", only darker.

1.Vanhelga - Längtan
2.Harakiri For The Sky - Aokigahara
3.Twilight Force - Tales Of Ancient Prophecies
4.Duskmourn - Legends
5.Saor - Aura
