2021: Jan-Jun

After clocking well over 700 albums in 2020, I'm hoping 2021 will be a bit busier IRL and thus slightly less comprehensively covered in these lists, but let's see - with all the new strains emerging, who TF knows when we might return to a semblance of normality. Until then, I'll be trying to make sure that nothing noteworthy passes my radar.

1.Vulgaris - Asundre
2.Dvne - Etemen Ænka
3.Heliocentric - Ishmael
4.Decline Of The I - Johannes
5.Dordeduh - Har

2021: Stuff I Heard

So earlier in 2021, I actually finished a nine year old list, and I thought starting this in July and backfilling with previous listens would be a good idea. Turns out not jotting down some thoughts about albums as you listen to them the first time is mistake, so almost every album on here has been heard at least twice - often more.

I'm going to leave it in release date order for now - maybe I'll put them in rating order, but that seems like a lot of work.

And even looking at my own list, I'm convinced there are albums I've heard that aren't on here, so that's great!

Anyway, enjoy reading and hopefully this might point you in the direction of something from 2021 you haven't bothered with yet.

Cheers!

1.Horndal - Lake Drinker
2.Unto Others - Strength
3.Obscura - A Valediction
4.Gatecreeper - An Unexpected Reality
5.Asphyx - Necroceros

My Mostly Metal Playlist - Top 100 (so Far) of 2021

Good morrow
This is Prnzo
this list is probably for...
idk, the more adventurous...
jack-of-all-trades listener
lots of apples/oranges here
hopefully this top list helps
at least one MS'er
and if not...
there's always next yr
...unless there's not

update: this list still reflected just releases from earlier in the year - I keep updating my list offline... but I'm never happy with some of the configuration/arrangement (due mostly to indecision or losing track of even a very good release here n there)

1.Between The Buried And Me - Colors II
2.Dordeduh - Har
3.Adjy - The Idyll Opus (I-VI)
4.The World Is a Beautiful Place and I Am No Longer Afraid to Die - Illusory Walls
5.Converge and Chelsea Wolfe - Bloodmoon: I
