Album of the year 2015


Quite a lazy year when it comes to albums, but we had many gigs instead. But let's get to the point


Album of the year 2015: 
Swallow The Sun- Songs From The North


Song of the year 2015: 66°50'n, 28°40'e



Best melodic death album of the year: Swallow The Sun- Songs From The North I (for me it counts as melodeath, since so few was released this year)

Nothing else came even close.

"And for us who tread in the dark
The road goes on forever
From sunrise to sunset and all through the night"

Best power metal album of the year: Cain's Offering's Stormcrow

Runner up was Gloryhammer with Space 1992: Rise of the Chaos Wizards. Exceptionally good, but Jani's second album had an extremely high bar to jump over, and it did.

Best folk metal album of the year: I wasn't really into folk this year, so Korpiklaani Noita has to do.


Listen to new Swallow The Sun album- it's sad, it's beautiful, it's a monumental achievement for the band to release 21 extremely good songs at once.
2016 will be a very interesting year for music as well. Enjoy this song while moving there. Stay safe, wherever you are, whoever you are.




"Wounded in the hands of winter, I froze to death for her
But I shall return and sing you back to sleep..."
