I wasn't on Bluesky when this article dropped and we're half a month into 2025, but this is my list of favorite albums from 2024. It's a solid cross-section of my musical taste, mostly metal with a bunch of other random shit thrown in. #metalsky

19- Angelspit - Red End

I've been a fan of Angelspit’s dark cyberpunk ever since I saw their album Hideous And Perfect mentioned on a list by the late, great Corey Mitchell back in 2009. I've been adding their albums to my year-end lists...

20(ish): The Honorable Mentions

Now that I'm back from vacation, it's time for some ranking! To close out the year, more or less, I'm going to count down my top twenty albums of 2025.

Righto, finished up the Bolt Thrower ranks just in time. Going to be on vacation for a week and change, so I'll be taking a break from the rankings, but this feels like a perfect time to sort out my year-end album list. Think I'll see if I can get it to coincide with my final list on NCS.
