Hawks: HAWKS' TOP 100 OF 2025!!!

Hawks 12.03.25	Still adding.
JoyfulPlatypus 12.03.25	It's frustrating to see staff member "Ryan P" put out a list of 100 albums that doesn't even have 100 entries, as well as making a year-end list with a month to go in the year. Staff should be held to a higher standard.
Hawks 12.03.25	HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Emim 12.03.25	Reported
jrlikestodance 12.03.25	Not seeing Sleep Token
GreyShadow 12.03.25	love 1 so much
Hawks 12.03.25	Almost done!
combustion07 12.03.25	Bookmarked. I’ve barely heard anything from this year. 3 is getting jammed first
Hawks 12.03.25	Hell yeah bro, enjoy!
Dewinged 12.03.25	You couldn't wait huh , nice list , plenty of overlap with mine. You should check the new Omnium Gatherum Hawks.
Hawks 12.03.25	Could be edited if something catches my attention this month. ;] Thanks buddy, I've heard new Omnium Gatherum and I'm not a fan sadly lol.
DoofDoof 12.03.25	Great list! I need to check your top two
Hawks 12.03.25	Hell yeah brother, get on em hard. I think you'll dig both.
mkmusic1995 12.03.25	Nice list dude! I don't know how you get this stuff done so quickly, I'm just starting to work on my list now and relistening to albums from earlier in the year lol
Hawks 12.03.25	Thanks buddy!! I keep my list going all year long so its easier to put together at the end lol.
Titan 12.03.25	24 is my favorite of 2025 not the best year for metal considering how we got spoiled the last few years
Hawks 12.03.25	GOOD CHOICE!!! Yeah, last year was monumental, but this year wasn't too shabby.
Titan 12.03.25	i knew you would appreciate my selection! and it truthfully is my fave. great album...
Hawks 12.03.25	Its amazing indeed my brother.
Demon of the Fall 12.03.25	even if this list was utter tripe (it isn't) you'd deserve praise just for completing 100 entries on Sputnikmusic.com in the year of our lord 2025 3 & 4 are nice and high!
Hawks 12.03.25	Thanks brother!!! Very much appreciate that. And absolutely, honestly the top 15 here were hard to rank outside of 1 being my clear AOTY lol. Was gonna wait to do this, but this ranking is pretty solid and there's no more heavy hitters that I'm anticipating would make it anyways lol. At least that I'm aware of. Always ones that slip through the cracks regardless tbh.
pyroflare77 12.03.25	smh not including one of the 16 skramz releases Damian did this year Half joking aside, this is good because I need to check more dm from this year. Feels waaaaay too lopsided in bm's favor these death lads are slacking.
Hawks 12.03.25	Lmao that guy releases too much damn music. But yeah, get on some of the dm albums here bro, you're sure to enjoy at least a couple of them!
pyroflare77 12.03.25	letterstoyou - s/t, then for life - demo eleven, demo nine, ...and still it flutters, and the split with body shirt are the top 5 imo in order. If you were curious/wanted some guidance.
Hawks 12.03.25	For sure bro, I'll give them a shot. So hard to keep up with all of his stuff and different projects.
jrlikestodance 12.03.25	Nice to see that Dario Zenker make the cut
Hawks 12.03.25	Absolutely brother, love that one a lot!
AlkemestRedux 12.03.25	Hooded Menace definitely deserves that spot. Such a killer album m///
Hawks 12.03.25	Yes it is indeed!!!
WretchedCacophony 12.03.25	heard 5 and 69... nice and that's good enough for 2025 I think
Hawks 12.03.25	Damn lmao.
AlkemestRedux 12.03.25	But have you heard 6 7
Thibs 12.03.25	solid list as expected. i love the hangmans hymn re-recording! Messa and Agriculture are too low and 7 kinda sucked but lots of my favs here, props. many on my list that I haven't yet checked, so thanks for the reminder!
Hawks 12.03.25	They're right where I need them to be and 7 is amazing! Lol thanks brother, much appreciated.
Tundra 12.03.25	1 - 100 are all quite subpar I would say
Hawks 12.03.25	Wow, what a zinger. Stay up all night thinking of that Mr. Sput Villain?
Inveigh 12.03.25	killer list man! bookmarked m/ dat der weiner freezin' album rules hard
Hawks 12.03.25	Thanks buddy!!! Yes the hell it does.
lucazade22 12.03.25	Very happy seeing 1 and 6 so high up this list!
Hawks 12.04.25	Hell yeah my man, love them so much! 1 is a hard 5 for me.
jrlikestodance 12.04.25	The new Anthony Naples is worth a listen. I prefer his techno stuff, but I think its a nice refinement of the downtempo sound he had on Chameleon
Hawks 12.04.25	That new Anthony Naples does indeed kick ass. Barely missed the list.
jrlikestodance 12.04.25	He dropped another one yesterday bro!
Hawks 12.04.25	OH SHIT. Yeah, gotta hear that asap.
dachstheangry 12.04.25	I'm surprised to see Amorphis in your top 10. The new album was a big letdown for me.
Hawks 12.04.25	I love it a lot lol. So much replay value.
Ladron93 12.06.25	Crippling Alcoholism's Camgirl, Daniel Avery's Tremor, Oneohtrix Point Never's Tranquilizer are my choices in your list, Hawks. My interest of black metal and death metal has faded a long time ago. I really like Messa's The Spin, though. I've never heard of Faetooth - Labyrinthine. I'll give it a listen since I'm doomgaze enthuse.
Hawks 12.06.25	Hell yeah bro, you should dig it.
arthropod 12.06.25	I don't get A Single Flower over March of the Unheard and The Ossuary Lens but list is solid. We'll see what you think of Morthar in 2 days, shit has two 4.5's so far.
Hawks 12.07.25	I love A Single Flower more than most it seems and I'm okay with that lol. Yeah, hype to jam that one.
insomniac15 12.07.25	First time listening to the 36 and Zake record, really nice
Hawks 12.07.25	Its soooooo smooth and relaxing. Really been loving space ambient/progressive electronic lately. Make sure you jam the Michael Stearns album I reviewed recently. Not a 2025 album, but one of the best ambient albums of all-time for me.
budgie 12.07.25	wjuat tje fuck is space ambient
Hawks 12.07.25	Listen to the album and find out son.
budgie 12.07.25	wetf did u just called me
Hawks 12.07.25	Son. Because I am your father.
insomniac15 12.07.25	will listen, thanks
Hawks 12.07.25	Hell yeah bro, interested to hear your opinion on it.
Hawks 12.13.25	Switched 2 and 4 around. Had to 5 that new Veilburner hard.
