Over the last year I found myself exploring more musical styles beyond metal. I ventured in the realms of industrial, electonic music, classic rock of the 60's and 70's and also getting into more punk infused genres like hardcore, post hardcore, noise rock and mathcore. I also found myself listening to more hip hop. I guess i checked about one hundred 2015 releases, however my to do list was about double that size so there are still records I still want to check out. With this though, I present you my top 75 Albums of this year (including EP's).
