Never knew there was a band doing darksouls stuff, that album cover is the firelink shrine after the massive crow drops you off after leaving the undead asylum. Firelink shrine in game has a beautiful mournful little track as its theme i often watch the video of the firelink shrine bonfire (search KZbin) to relax especially early on a winter morning before the sun has come up with a hot drink.

earthhtone⁹ - In Resonance Nexus

Wow Dodsrit is amazing.

I feel that the Hand of Kalliach - Corryvreckan album is a tiny bity muddy on the final mix but is totally listenable.

Its a personel List of Bands you listen to.

Marche Funebre - what a great album!

Sounds like it was a pretty big year for atmospheric albums this year, I dig it!

Iotunn ,Dödsrit ,Borknagar ,Dwarrowdelf ,Belore in my top 75 list: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpu5m2Sli990ma8

My absolute Favorite: THOLA - Unseen Enjoy 👊👊👊

My Album of 24: THOLA - Unseen Enjoy!!!

Wintersun with Time 2 isn't in the top 40! Nice to see that you didn't jumped up this hype!

Great list, Lyndsey!❤ Thanks for letting me know about Bloody Valkyria. That's epic! I am a fan one man projects also. Your whole top 40 list is awesome, but some of the stuff is not my taste. 🤘🤘

Lovely Top 10 2024 albums! That Winterfylleth is so beautiful! Great choice on Dodsrit as well, I keep listening to this album throughout this year! Have a great New Year!

Wow i really didn't see your No 1 coming it's a fantastic album 💯🤘🤘🤘

Solo projects are amazing such talented guys incredible

Dwarrowdelf amazing. Sorry so many comments but the choices are incredible ❤

I love Belore amazing got a long sleeve t shirt. Love the fact bands like this include a card or stickers etc and thank you for your support awesome ❤

What an excellent list Lindsay a big thank you for all the new music and established bands you have mentioned talked about in 2024 . Love Bandcamp. Hope you had a fantastic Christmas. Stay safe and Take care Jonathan ❤xxx

thanks a lot for putting together this list, i discovered a lot of albums that i have missed sofar, great picks !

I'm going to go out on a limb and say you like atmospheric melodic black metal...

OMG Bloody Valkyria’s Kingdom In Fire is so criminally underrated. I may have just fell in love with Lindsay 🤪

Have been a massive fan of Hand of Kalliach ever since their EP, so underrated. 🤘🏻

Iotunn is easily number 1 this year, easily.

Wolvencrown ...

Seclorum Ornament - The Last Sorceress 👈

There were a few new bands. I'll have to give them a listen. Thank you and lets hope for a great 2025 :)

No French metal act ?! I'm really surprised, the frogs make also beautiful and diverse metal things. ;-)

Since i have already posted my top 8, then i will post my most disapoiting albums of 2024. All in all i thought they were dissapointing compared to their previous releases Funeral - Gospel of Bones Unto Others - Never Neverland My dying Bride - A mortal Binding Inqusition - Veneration of Medieval Mysticism and Cosmological Violence

Great list, agree with number one 100%

Iotunn is not black metal. If they call it that, it means my favourite music is now trash. But then again, many things in 2024 have changed. Some bands respect the Black Metal label still, ...

Great list! My Top 10 Albums Of The Year 1. Morbid Saint - Swallowed By Hell 2. Rut - Morbid Thoughts 3. Evildead - Toxic Grace 4. Nocturnus AD - Unicursal 5. Atrophy - Asylum 6. Anarchy - Xenotech And The Cosmic Anarchy 7. Judas Priest - Invincible Shield 8. Satan - Songs In Crimson 9. Deicide - Banished By Sin 10. Flotsam And Jetsam - I Am The Weapon

Shades of...

Nice choices Lindsay! Maybe the most interesting I've seen these days. I'm curious what is your favorite album of 2020. I have a guess for your choice..

Cheers for putting us up top. That’s a long time to sit on the floor! Don’t wait so long for the coffee next time. Thank you and Merry Christmas.

Actually I am not interested in those new recordings / albums. That all is too much to apprehend...

Amaranthe - The Catalyst

New to your channel but your no 1 is the only album I know & I love it. A band from my locality as well (I thought it was indie only here).

Thanks, Im just away and bought Sgaile vinyl . Never heard of this and usually into groove / thrash metal. Anyway greetings form Torridon not too far away from the Bealach ;-)

Marche Funèbre and the Bloody Valkyria was new to me. Both are GREAT. Thank you! \m/ Check out - Kvaen - The Formless Fires

I put Nyktophobia in my honorable mentions. I loved their first 2 albums but I was disappointed with their 3rd album and To The Stars took a few listens before I began to really get into it. I did a full review for it on The Great Metal Debate but I didn't rate it that high. It seemed like the melodies didn't quite stand out as much as previous records.

so our number ones match , my number 2 is sig ar tyr .. Belore is in my top 10 ..... the other 18 of your top 20 plus a pre order of saor and the paysage dhiver cd i have asked santa for being good n he will bring me them all surely ..Ive not heard any of them so i think ill be busy in 2025 ..

🤘🖤

Thank you for all that you do putting together the greatest playlists in all of Metal. An amazing list from an amazing journalist. We salute you

Mine in no particular order… Civerous - Maze Envy Skeletal Remains - Fragments of the Ageless Suffer - Grand Canvas of the Aesthete Full of Hell - Coagulated Bliss Pall Bearer - Mind Burns Alive Aquilis - Bellum II Blood Incantation - Absolute Elsewhere Teeth - The Will of Hate Opeth - The Last Will and Testament Better Lovers - Highly Irresponsible

Awesome quality list bc many I’ve watched just seem to have the same albums over and over again. Also the explanations matter and joy the albums brought you. Fantastic.
