While groups from other countries like Prometheus, Auðn, Sombre Héritage, and Gaerea achieved high musical scales on their latest outputs.Ģ020 brought many new black metal bands that I never heard of in the spotlight.
Bands like Aethyrick, Norrhem, Korgonthurus, Kryptamok, and The True Werwolf and Bythos were immediately spotted. So let’s quickly look back on the black metal albums I found worthy of mention here. My actual list includes around sixty albums. But I believe there is always a light at the end of the tunnel, if we keep on supporting each other.Īt the end of each year, we give readers our favorite albums based on our honest determination. The list includes only ten albums, but as usual, I have also decided to include other albums from all possible genres. It felt like living in a prison! We all sensed considerable change in the quality of our lives. Quite fortunately so, because this year’s been catastrophic with the pandemic and lockdowns. With numerous reviews published this year, I find it important to finally reveal my top ten favorite albums that made a huge impact on me. From January onward there’s been a significant non-stop flow of releases in different genres. This year brought us plenty of great notable and surprising albums. My personal opinion for the year 2020 is quite fair for both death and black metal, my two favorite genres.
