Best Albums of 2014
These are the best albums for an excellent year in music. |
| 1 |  | Triptykon
Melana Chasmata
This dark, moody and atmopsheric album is an absolute gem. It is the most consistently compelling album of 2014. |
| 2 |  | Solstafir
Otta
Post music combined with Black Sabbath. The most relaxing album to be found in 2014. |
| 3 |  | At the Gates
At War with Reality
This is an incredibly consistent and fun recording. Lindberg's vocals also ring with glory. |
| 4 |  | Ne Obliviscaris
Citadel
This progressive death metal album is beyond compelling. The variation to be found here is almost endless. |
| 5 |  | Misery Index
The Killing Gods
For a grind album, The Killing Gods has its fair share of death metal treats. This simply shreds with excellent drumming. |
| 6 |  | Voyager
V
The refined progressive beast that is Voyager perfects things here. This is the progressive metal album of the year. |
| 7 |  | Fallujah
The Flesh Prevails
The shoegaze combination with death metal works perfectly. This album is extremely powerful. |
| 8 |  | Anathema
Distant Satellites
This band has found a beautiful new sound that works. This album surprised me with its quality. |
| 9 |  | Panopticon
Roads to the North
An epic and entertaining black metal effort; Roads to the North is an engrossing listen. |
| 10 |  | Dark Fortress
Venereal Dawn
This is the album Opeth should have released in 2014. This is a dynamic and thoughtful effort. |
