Fuck. You’re right. Solstafir’s Masterpiece of Bitterness should be right at the top five. Too bad I only found about it at the beginning of this year, or was it late last year… anyway. The opening track beats a truckloads of albums by itself.

nobody has mentioned High on Fire – Blessed Black Wings or Novembers Doom – The Pale Haunt Departure? or how about 2005 releases by Solstafir, Lay Down Rotten and Green Carnation?

Would have to take Nile and Amoral off my list. Haven’t listened to either of albums since 2005 or 2006. I’d probably add Fall of the Leafe and Akercocke to the list instead. Or Overmars.

I have probably listened to Bolt Thrower’s “Those Once Loyal” more than any record I have ever owned.
