My top ten albums of 2024:
1. Spectral Wound - Songs of Blood and Mire (punky, fast, black metal)
2. Selbst - Despondency Chord Progression (progressive, bleak black/death)
3. Ceremony of Silence - Halios (black/death with outstanding percussion)
4. Neon Nightmare - Faded Dream (World Coming Down worship)
5. Dvne - Voidkind (progressive sludge)
6. Panzerfaust - The Sons of Perdition - Chapter IV: To Shadow Zion (black/death, like a combo of Mgla and Ulcerate)
7. Thanatotherion - Alienation Manifesto (janky black/death)
8. Thy Catafalque - XII: A gyönyörű álmok ezután jönnek (a mix of genres and styles built around a black metal base)
9. Judas Priest - Invincible Shield (something of a return to form)
10. Ulcerate - Cutting the Throat of God (more of the same from them)
