End of the Year - 2025 Best? (and maybe the worst?)

[metalcrypt]

My retired brain just noticed that December is just a few days away. Let's try to get some action in here by mentioning some of the best and also maybe the worst albums (EPs too, I guess) you've heard this year.

OK, Coroner is probably my album of the year, and the top 3 are probably set. The rest are in no particulary order and are by appearance in my 2025 master list.

1. Coroner - Dissonance Theory
2. Apocalypse Orchestra - A Plague Upon Thee
3. Havukruunu - Tavastland
4. Saor - Amidst the Ruins
5. Urn - Demon Steel
6. The Infernal Deceit - The True Harmful Black
7. Veljessurma - Haltioissaan
8. Helloween - Giants and Monsters
9. Autrest - Burning Embers, Forgotten Wolves
10. Nexion - Sundrung
11. Messa - The Spin

I’ll have to go back and look at my reviews. I can’t recall anything that blew me away or was completely awful off the top of my head

Yeah, same here.

None of the albums released this year blew my totally head off, unfortunately...
