It’s that time of the year again! Since 2020 is coming to an end really soon, it’s about time for our staff to publish their lists regarding the best albums for the year. In this atypical year, where we were pretty much deprived of live shows, music was still a faithful companion and a way of coping. The amount of quality releases was immense, so it’s not always an easy choice. Eventually, some releases of enormous quality may have been forgotten – or discovered later on.
So here they are, the choices for the best releases of this past year in the opinion of one of our editors – Rita Limede:
1. Ulcerate – Stare Into Death and Be Still
2. Cytotoxin – Nuklearth
3. Enslaved – Utgard
4. Pain of Salvation – Panther
5. Thy Catafalque – Naiv
6. Benighted – Obscene Repressed
7. Sólstafir – Endless Twilight of Codependent Love
8. Gaerea – Limbo
9. Nero Di Marte – Immoto
10. Blackfield – For The Music
11. Dark Tranquility – Moment
12. Zeal & Ardor – Wake of A Nation
13. Benediction – Scriptures
14. Pestifer – Expanding Oblivion
15. Xenobiotic – Mordrake
16. My Dying Bride – The Ghost of Orion
17. Katla – allt þetta helvítis myrkur
18. Ingested – Where Only Gods May Tread
