FINEST BLACK METAL ALBUMS FOR H1 2018


Let me try to outline my personal preferences for the finest black metal releases for the first half of 2018. This mean I list (in no particular order) the albums released between 1 Jan and 30 June 2018. Most of them have been either reviewed for Blessed Altar Zine by me, or listed in my monthly top charts. Or both actually. This is just a summary of my thoughts on the matter.

COUNT VLAD'S AOTY LIST OF 2023

Image
  The pretentious mainstream hipster elitist poser's AOTY list of 2023 is here. The ultimate list that makes them all lists. My favorite releases of the year 2023. It features everything that I enjoyed the most throughout this already-dead and-gone year.  When I was preparing this list I looked into all my notes, went through all the monthly lists that I published here and revisited quite a lot of albums. And I must admit that basically, everyone could have a spot in the AOTY lists. It has been a really crazy year - an enormous amount of releases, thousands of bands, and very good albums shortlisted. Literally, almost every band on Earth put out a new album! I already published My Top 50 Death Metal Albums of 2023 and My Top 50 Black Metal Albums of 2023 .

You should do the same.  While preparin

MY TOP LIST OF SEPTEMBER 2023

Image
Abundance. This is how I can describe September 2023. This is why the below list looks like shit, meaning so unprofessional that I am listing 55+ albums below. I tried somehow to make a conditional cut at 25, but honestly, it's worth spending time with all these albums.
