Lionoka – Tides Of Triumph (Old Mill Productions) Grab it if you’ve missed every other version, you chump. Cold, vicious and powerful raw black metal filled with yearning, this is about to cop an LP release via Black Gangrene. Sounds like: that moment when you’re deep in a tomb filled with the corpses of ancient warriors and kings… and they all suddenly come to life and want to kill you, so you’re torn apart by undead royalty from a bygone era. Nansarunai – Ultimul Rege (Banner Of Blood / Ancient Horror Records / Black Gangrene) This mysterious horde of UK Tolkien fanatics knocked it out of the park on their first full-length effort. Sounds like: Caladan Brood, but somehow even more enjoyable. Firienholt – By The Waters Of Awakening (Fólkvangr Records / Naturmacht Productions) Kurator of War‘s second full-length was the perfect prelude to his astonishing split with Kommodus this man is never short of a riff. Sounds like: triumph, tragedy and pure grit, passed down through tales and shamanic rituals for eternity. Pan-Amerikan Native Front – Little Turtle’s War (Les Fleurs Du Mal / Stygian Black Hand / Nuclear War Now! Productions) However, settle in and let this noisy, hypnotic and abrasive monolith of longform depression obliterate your soul and I’m sure you’ll agree: more people should have paid attention to this shit. Seriously, I saw nobody talking about it, perhaps because at first glance/listen it’s quite nondescript.

Sounds like: a completely anonymous album released with no fanfare at all that zero people paid attention to. Bræ – A Thousand Ways To End It All (Amor Fati)

Miasmata – Unlight: Songs of Earth and Atrophy.

Lamp Of Murmuur – Submission And Slavery.

Korpituli – The Ancient Spells Of The Past.

Arazubak – The Haunted Spawn Of Torment.

Archgoat – Worship The Eternal Darkness.

Labyrinthine Haze – Descending Into The Deep.

Weathered Crest – Blossoming Of The Paths.

Support the artists, buy physical copies… aside from that, onwards, ever onwards, forging into the sunset.

As always, eternal thanks and respect to all artists, labels, reviewers and promoters for keeping the black flame alive.

If you somehow need even more from my curation of superb stygian artistry, seek help, but also feel free to check out my already published TOP 30 DEMOS/EPs and TOP 25 SPLITS lists as well (and scope Tom and Gos ‘s lists while you’re at it, they both have impeccable taste). Also included are a handful of near misses that I really wanted to make the cut but couldn’t cram in – be sure to hunt them down as well, all of them deserved a spot on the final list.

Here I present my 40 favourite full length albums of the thousand-plus I listened to and the couple hundred I shortlisted, a final curation that’s a damn sight slimmer than last year’s overblown top 100 but hey, I’m trying to reign myself in and practice a little restraint. Pretty sure I’m the last person anywhere on the planet to publish their albums list each year, but anyway – there were over ten thousand black metal releases vomited forth into the void of rampant consumerism and discogs flipping (or unnoticed and abandoned Bandcamp limbo) throughout 2021.
