2014 is set to be a fantastic year in music. I felt the metal front was a bit disappointing in 2013, and I am really hoping it delivers this year.

Albums I am highly anticipating :

- Devin Townsend - Casualties of Cool 14 May
- Young And In The Way - When Life Comes To Death 27th May
- Anathema - Distant Satellite 6th June

1.Have A Nice Life - The Unnatural World

2.Swans - To Be Kind

3.Agalloch - The Serpent & The Sphere

4.The Great Old Ones - Tekeli-Li

5.Wildernessking - The Devil Within

These are the albums that have been burning a hole in my iPod this past year. I have really only created this list so that I can keep track of the albums I have enjoyed in 2012, but if you have any suggestions feel free it send them my way.

The albums with stars (*) next to their ratings, are albums that I am still currently listening to.

1.Godspeed You!Black Emperor - 'Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend!

2.BADBADNOTGOOD - BBNG2

3.Amenra - Mass V

4.Wildernessking - The Writing Of Gods In The Sand

5.Spiritualized - Sweet Heart Sweet Light
