Late to the party, as always. This year was excellent, worthy of a place in the Metal Hall of Fame, and I'm saying that without having listened to some big names like Manilla Road, Blut Aus Nord or Sabbat. So let's take a few minutes, read what I had to say about my limited sampling of the year's delights and then completely agree with me:



10. The Wounded Kings - In The Chapel of the Black Hand

Last year's "The Shadow over Atlantis" was probably the doom metal album of the year, and now they've returned with a new singer, one with teats! The album feels way too short, but for the duration, you've got the works: heavy riffs, haunting vocals, occult atmosphere... as Patrick Bruss from Crypticus said, they're "the band who unseated ELECTRIC WIZARD from the Dopethrone". Remember to light up the candles in 13 before pressing "Play".



9. Ride For Revenge - Under the Eye

Now, this is how you pull off atavistic caveman fucking darkness, folks! Finnish dementia ain't nothin' to fuck with…

03. Portrait - Crimen Laesae Majestatis Divinae

04. Vektor - Outer Isolation
05. Warbringer - World Torns Asunder
06. Mortal Sin - Psychology Of Death
07. In Solitude - The World. The Flesh. The Devil
08. Amon Amarth - Surtur Rising
09. Necros Christos - Doom Of The Occult
10. Nocte Obducta- Verderbnis (Der Schnitter kratzt an jeder Tür)
