Hi, 50 yo bloke from Australia here. I am pretty time-poor so do not have anywhere near as much time as I would like to research bands. I rely pretty heavily on the excellent Angry Metal Guy blog to source new bands and keep abreast of things. For me, the top 3 that resonated with me in no particular order are: Devenial Verdict - Blessing of Despair Immortal Bird - Sin Querencia Weston Super Maim - See You Tomorrow Baby It was a great year for metal, one of the better years in recent times in my opinion.

[@domfabio8850]

1. Chat Pile - Cool World 2. Blood Incantation - Absolute Elsewhere 3. The Body - The Crying Out of Things 4. Nails - Every Bridge Burning 5. Full of Hell - Coagulated Bliss 6. Thou - Umbilical 7. Frail Body - Artificial Bouquet 8. The Cure - Songs of a Lost World 9. Full of Hell & Andrew Nolan - Scraping the Divide 10. Darkthrone - It Beckons Us All....... Still need to listen to the new Paysage album all the way through.

Nice picks Questy! I went in thinking you would have Opeth at #1, but I can't argue with Djevel taking your top spot, such a killer album. Anyways cheers dude!

[@Questformetal]

I could easily put it number one haha ask me again in a week and list be different and then it’ll change again week after. Too many good albums this year 🍺

[@zeusnair265]

Judas Priest Invincible Shield is my number one. The lead singer is in his 70s and still has the best vocals. Faulkner is amazing as always.

[@tonycaldwell331]

Fair play to you Questy for compiling this list. Never easy. 2024 to me, will go down as the year of great debut / sophomore releases : Iotunn, Piah Mater, Modern Rites, Avmakt, Obscurial, Void Witch, Siderean, Cistvaen, Black Birch & Dewfall put out fantastic albums.

[@JoshieMadhatt]

If Djevel is your number one over Paysage, Nile AND Blood Incantation I gotta check it. You have a very similar taste in black metal to me so I'm confident that I'll be able to get some enjoyment out of it. I don't have any kind of order yet but my favorites so far are Paysage D'hiver, Gonemage, Judas Priest, Wintersun, Blood Incantion. And there's one you gotta check out called Звёздный храм ( Russian for Star Temple ) that's a pretty damn good atmospheric black metal albums. Also a couple that haven't been mentioned on any of the main review channels or most of even the "underground" review sites Disfiguring The Goddess- Softly With You - Brutal death metal but it has a few surprises and bits of experimentation of up it's sleeve. And Conifere L'lmpot du Sang which a very VERY underrated melodic black metal album. Sometimes allllllmost going punky with their riffs

[@Questformetal]

Yeah you should enjoy it I reckon

[@cbn6635]

When Opeth only made the number 2 spot, I really though you would choose Ulcerate as your number one, as I remember you loving that band as much as I do, but alas.. 🤷 I have not quite decided on the placement of my 10 favorite albums yet, but Ulcerate is definitely number one, and Nile will also be high up there. Judas Priest were for a long time also present, but has since been over taken by a couple of late entries, but cool album from these legends none the less! The albums by Opeth and Blood Incantation were both great, but also a tiny bit over hyped in my opinion.. 🤔 Otherwise your list makes me wanna check Yoth Iria and Aquilus out! 👍

[@counterspell69]

1. Ulcerate----Cutting The Throat Of God

[@alexbabkov5935]

great list though I would disagree with the Judas Priest because it seems a bit too standard I guess. It's a good album from a legendary project but I don't think it is one of the albums of the year. That's just my opinion though. My personal list of favorite albums includes most of these barring priest. I would also include the following albums there: Borknagar - Fall Alcest - Les Chants de l’Aurore My Dying Bride - A Mortal Binding Akhlys - House of the Black Geminus Ulcerate - Cutting the Throat of God Wormed - Omegon Ihsahn - Ihsahn Kanonenfieber - Die Urkatastrophe Severoth - By the Way of Light Austere - Beneath the Threshold Horna - Nyx (Hymnejä yölle) Labyrinthus Stellarum - Vortex of Worlds Gigan - Anomalous Abstractigate Infinitessimus Aborted - Vault of Horrors Benighted - Ekbom Oranssi Pazuzu - Muuntautuja Spectral Wound - Songs of the Blood and Mire Hauntologist - Hollow Defeated Sanity - Chronicles of Lunacy Fleshgod Apocalypse - Opera Leprous - Melodies of Atonement I know it's a basic bitch list but there was not much interesting stuff going on in the underground sadly, especially in funeral doom sector. Vo Skorbyah dropped decent release but it does not hit as hard as their 2007 one does.

[@forefather6974]
