2014, Now Featuring A Peanut Butter Burger!

Thank you all once again for all of the suggestions and recommendations from 2014, and for following this list over the year! I can't promise I'll get to all of the suggestions, nor will I make this list as much of a priority. However, I will probably get to them at some point in the near future. The only thing I need to do is adjust my ratings, which are skewed very high at the moment.

1.Qualeaceans - Capture Of Ziz
2.Amogh Symphony - Vectorscan
3.Schammasch - Contradiction
4.Kayo Dot - Coffins On Io
5.Stoic Dissention - Autochthon

Coolingsrock's 2014 Albums (Not For The Hearing Impaired)

***UPDATED REGULARLY*** My List of Albums that I've Listened to in 2014. Order: Best to Worst. I listened to all of these albums at least a minimum of 3 times. I do my best efforts to listen to as many different types of metal as I can. I may rate albums higher then some would, but that's my opinion and at least I'm supporting bands, not hating on them.(not going to give out 1's and 2's cause I know it's hard work to put together these albums, unless it's just white noise of course).

1.Revocation - Deathless
2.Allegaeon - Elements Of The Infinite
3.Aenaon - Extance
4.Chelsea Grin - Ashes To Ashes
5.The Kindred - Life In Lucidity

Best Of 2014

So far, 2014 has been such an amazing ride in every respective field of music. Metal is no stranger, since its wide variety of sub-genres make this 2014 race and interesting one.
This list is 100% based on my personal taste and, while I try to listen to every genre and release, some are just way to Heavy for me so there probably won't be much Extreme stuff around here.

1.Major Parkinson - Twilight Cinema
2.Hail Spirit Noir - Oi Magoi
3.Agalloch - The Serpent & The Sphere
4.Triptykon - Melana Chasmata
5.IQ - The Road Of Bones
