Ratings go from:

WORSHIP ❤️❤️❤️: Absolute greatness, a mindblowing album.
LOVE ❤️❤️🖤: Amazing release with very few flaws.
LIKE ❤️🖤🖤: Enjoyable but far from perfect.
DISLIKE 💔: Not very good or maybe not fitting my tastes.

I've decided to stop rating albums with a numerical value as I tend to feel uncomfortable with that system. This list has a minimalistic, subjective and visceral approach, based purely on sensations and personal tastes. I constantly revisit new releases so first impressions may change over time. It usually takes 3-4 spins for me to get completely sure of a rating.

1.Vehemence - Ordalies

2.The Mist From The Mountains - Monumental: The Temple Of Twilight

3.Allegaeon - Damnum

4.Fit For An Autopsy - Oh What The Future Holds

5.Vanaheim - Een Verloren Verhaal

1.Persefone - Metanoia

2.Hath - All That Was Promised
