| Arch Enemy Doomsday Machine |
| Ash of Ashes Traces |
| Nothing like progcore whatsoever. Its epic pagan Skaldic Metal with varied memorable anthems each with a tasty folky hook. Inspired song writing throughout. |
| Belore Eastern Tales |
| Black Anvil As Was |
| Have to leave a soundoff on my 2017 AOTY. The layered vocals instantly elevate this above most other melodic black metal. The interesting song writing and heavybutclean production makes it so easy to listen to and return to |

| Very easy to get lost in this fully engaging and enveloping cinematic black metal masterpiece |
| Ewigkeit Battle Furies 2.017 |
| This 2017 re-recording of Mr Fog's 1997 album is better than it sounds. Symphonic melodic black metal of the type of that era sounds fresh and interesting somehow. I?ve never heard the original but I don?t think I need to. |

| Rotting Christ The Heretics |
| Saor Origins |
| Mix is magnificent so easy to listen to, more mid tempo and a little cleaner with a bit more space between instruments which ends up resonating superbly. The compositions and melodies are top notch too which flow so seamlessly. The best probably the 1-2 of The Ancient Ones and Aurora but there?s no weakness to be found |

| This album caught my attention in the last 2 songs on first spin. That was months ago and since then it has grown and grown to one of my fav albums of the year. Progressive thrash would be best descriptor. Great concept, inventive songwriting with shifts during and between songs. The vocals also play a massive part in this being an awesome release. |
| Haliphron Prey |
| Hatebreed Rise of Brutality |
| Havukruunu Tavastland |
| Helioss Contre ma lumière |
| Heretoir Nightsphere |
| Hollow Decay The Frozen Trail |
| The streak of fine 2022 melodeath continues, this time a release of guitar oriented collection of songs which gives a nod to a lot of influences, but the Belakor shift on Regain is too obvious. Apart from that its an excellent debut. |
| Hoth Astral Necromancy |
| Ibaraki Rashomon |
| Ihsahn Arktis. |
| Ihsahn Eremita |
| Illdisposed 1 800 Vindication |
| Cant remember why I bought this cd in 2004 but somehow stumbled upon a gem in the rough. Danish death metal with groove and other hooks |
| Illvilja Endless Rivers |
| Another outing of intriguing atmospheric bm hymns from Illvilja. So sinister and so good |
| Illvilja The Absence of Light |
| Mid-paced atmospheric black metal powered by double bass drumming and haunting vocals. Highly recommended. |
| Illvilja The Bitter Longing |
| Illvilja Where No Sorrow Dwells |
| The Old Icelandic word "illvilja" in English means ill-willed, evil-minded which is the perfect moniker for Hakan Eriksson's atmospheric black metal music. Prolific with another album but the quality is maintained with haunting melodies drenched in doomy atmosphere. |
| Illyria Take Me Somewhere Beautiful |
| Immortal At the Heart of Winter |
| Imperium Dekadenz Dis Manibvs |
| Imperium Dekadenz Into Sorrow Evermore |
| The melodic wall of guitars hover and flow to great effect. Ive enjoyed their output for a long time but this is a culmination of their sound, and is very satisfying. |
| In Mourning Live in Valley Sound Studio |
| In Mourning are immense in this forum as well. Neat collection of songs to play |
| In the Woods... Dīversum |
| In the Woods... Otra |

| The Amity Affliction Not Without My Ghosts |
| The Breathing Process Labyrinthian |
| Not to be put off by the branding of this as deathcore. Its much more than that. Long time Dimmu Borgir fans would like this as I did. Crushingly heavy, epic and majestic. |

| Wolves in the Throne Room Primordial Arcana |
| Wormwood Nattarvet |

| Finally gets interesting at 4:25 in ?Presages from a Restless Soul?. The vocal harmonies and leads add depth to the bm compositions that allows the listener to really immerse into the sound. The elongated riffs return not long after to balance it back out. The rest of the album is also solid with the ensuing songs comprising many interwoven parts including symphonic midpaced passages and twin guitar leads. Not as immediate as his previous works. |
