By now you might've figured that this blogspot is mostly dead...
But here's my Top 10 Releases of the year again (with adjusted rating system):
Panopticon & Nechochwen – Split LP (Bindrune, 12”) 110%
Melodic, emotional, at times progressive Black Metal with Folk Elements.
Really versatile. Panopticon side is a tad stronger. Still love both though.
UADA – Djinn LP (Eisenwald, 12”) 107%
THE modern Black Metal Band if you ask me.
A highly anticipated release that doesn’t let down.
