So it is have been 3 year without few days since my last update ( it took me a while ),
And this top 100 prove's that we like to look into new genres or move back to 70' and yearly 80' for something easier to listen to. For me it was ambient/nefolk, some heavy metal and hardrock but in the end mostly heavy shit, my favourite death metal also black, trash metal and grind.

1.Skuggsjá - A Piece For Mind & Mirror

2.Vader - Welcome To The Morbid Reich

3.Aborted - The Necrotic Manifesto

4.Aborted - Global Flatline

5.King Diamond - The Graveyard
