THIS IS NORWAY


I decided to make the present list in response to a list with the 50 finest Norwegian albums across time, prepared by a famous metalhead on Threads. The condition: one album per band, in alphabetical order! These are my choices of the finest heresy that I love and I often return to listen.  

I started, and I listed down 80+ records. Then, instead of trimming everything down to 50 (because I am lazy about this), I made this list featuring 99 bands and albums. I am throwing everything here just for the history... Your list might be different, and that's absolutely fine.

MY TOP 50 BLACK METAL ALBUMS OF 2024

Image
  It is again that time of the year when we reflect back and prepare the AOTY lists. As usual, I have a Black Metal Top List, Death Metal Top List, and AOTY List of course. And here we go! Here's MY TOP 50 BLACK METAL ALBUMS OF 2024 list - the black metal albums I liked the most, made the best impression, and spent the most time with. Probably this list is too unkvlt, to pretentious, too colorful or contains equally some mainstream hipster albums along with some UG ones. So what?! Did I like the albums? Yes. Are they good? Yes.  In fact, there are 51 names there, starting from 0 because, above all the 2024 releases, there is a release that was recorded live in 2015 and represents a 1999 album. Technically it’s not a new album. However Marduk's Beast of Prey is the most intense and tight thing you can hear in 2024, not only in the black metal sphere. After that comes the whole list with 50 new releases, so in total 51 albums are present there. I can fairly say that Paysage d’Hi...

MY TOP 20 OF JANUARY 2024

Image
The new year started with a kick in the ass. It's like 2023 never existed or everything merges in one big whole. The time is merciless. It is already the end of January and it is that time again when I usually post my favorite new releases of the respective month. January'24 could have been more inspiring, or after THAT 2023, now everything seems weaker? I do believe a lot of the below-listed albums are going to drown and I won't return much to them in the year. Still, few are going to be on my AOTY list.  What else? We have to be very grateful that in 2024 we have Saxon at full speed and they are releasing this good album. Naturally, it is my album of the month, closely followed by some very good UG releases. If you know, you know. If not, just check them and who's behind. I wanted to make the list with 20+1 albums so I didn't include a few more that I liked, but so what? They won't be missed dearly. Then, I believe if we look only at this point in time, withou...

MY TOP 50 DEATH METAL ALBUMS OF 2024

Image
I already published  MY TOP 50 BLACK METAL ALBUMS OF 2024 , so here comes the DEATH METAL of 2024! Death Metal did OK in 2024, with some really impressive releases! Now I take the opportunity to present what I listened to the most, what made me the best impression, and what I spent most time with during this already gone worthless year.  After careful consideration, ULCERATE's cutting throats album took the highest spot. The severe competition came from Absolute Elsewhere which is super close behind. I'll keep on listening to these two in the future. And not only that. The whole list consists of very good albums that have the potential to stay a bit longer than usual. Let's see. If you follow closely this blog, you may notice that many of the albums were part of my monthly lists and are already popular for the scene in 2024. However, I can assure you that some popular names are not present on the list though. You won't find Undeath here for example. I just could not squ...
