a grand amalgamation of metal, classical, and pop styles, a lot of lady's sections are straight out of a disney movie, nevertheless its power is greater and captivating |

about what you'd expect from an old band revival that only released 2 albums decades ago, listenable enough with some nice action nothing mindblowing |
| 27 |  | Aegir (Swe) Brennu-Njál
viking tendency meloblack, a lesser modern windir |
| 26 |  | Immortal Souls Cold Sounds
winter metal is back as the souls granted immortality rise again from the snow, a fresh melodic ep |
| 25 |  | Nocturna (IT) Of Sorcery and Darkness

a lighter more spooky modern crystal blasymph but of standard quality nonetheless |
| 18 |  | Master Saints Dispelled

refurbished 90s black metal revival and it is glorious |
| 13 |  | Goatrocity Atrocity of God
GOATACULAR |
| 12 |  | Frozen Crown War Hearts
undeniably solid lady powered metal despite the gauche cover art, their best release yet they've been grinding highlight in night of the wolf |
| 11 |  | Curta'n Wall Yr Gwyddbwyll
more folk oriented than any of his earlier releases with mostly clean basso vox and a lot of lovely lady by guest elvya dulcimer, curta'n's abysmal specter presents another frolicky no frills all kills album highlight the last wizzard |

| 6 |  | Wintersun Time II
the culmination of everything jari has experimented with finally coming to fruition like the cherry blossoms he is so fond of. orchestral nihonan epic melodeafolk metal, overemphatic drums like a dog sled in snow, very saturated sound is nice. fields of snow a pretty magical miyazaki nippopiece, the way of the fire and storm make up the album |
| 5 |  | Atlantean Sword All Is Dust
