Black Metal
Best black metal you'll hear in 2024, and my favorite album of the year. Intense vocals combined with fantastic riffs makes for a relentless album. You'll find yourself headbanging along with the catchy beats.

Melodeath
One of my favorite bands of all time, they deliver another great album. Filled with emotional intensity, powerful riffs and great arrangements. It took an incredible album to knock this out of the #1 spot for me.

Gothic Meloblack
This album has intensity, melodies and a sense of grandeur. Some of the songs might feel a little same-y but that's OK because I liked it so much. "Like Father Like Son" is my favorite song off the album.

Atmospheric Black Metal
This is an album I have not been able to get out of my head. I've listened to it so many times. There is clean singing to punctuate the black metal moments. It is incredible and I highly recommend it.

Gothic Rock
Another "supergroup" that came together to make an album of classic Nordic gothic rock. Mikael Stanne's vocals are incredible on here. This might be the best gothic album of the year, and that is saying something.

Melodeath/Doom
Combining death and doom, the heavy riffs, melancholy tones and introspective themes make for a profound album. It explores loss, the weight of suffering and the perseverance of hope.

Prog Death Metal
Calling this a death metal album sometimes feels like a misnomer. They have incredible death metal but then it will go into an almost Pink Floyd like interlude. The wide range of these songs and the incredible riffs make this a great album.

Meloblack
Walg keeps putting out incredible albums and their misery-laden wailing and feelings of despair are impressive.

Ambient Atmospheric Black Metal
This split album is incredibly intense. The pure despair in the vocals of Gormoth kept me coming back repeatedly. This is a great album.

Symphonic Melodeath
This album also has some blackened elements as well, featuring powerful vocals, intricate guitar work and an epic sound that captivates from beginning to end.

Meloblack
The first song "Birth of the Nephilim" is great, has powerful riffs and a cinematic feel. After that the quality of the songs falls off. The strength of the first song has it this high on the list, the weakness of the rest keeps it from going higher.

Good black metal with intense riffs, has some clean singing that I feel accentuates the music.

Melodic Black Metal
A fusion of black metal and punk, it derives inspiration from Japanese horror stories and follows a student's descent into madness. The aggressive riffs, fast paced rhythms and heart pounding drums make this a great album.

Stoner/Sludge/Doom Metal
This is a colossal doom album, with heavy distorted riffs and hypnotic slow-burning progressions. It's an intense journey into some incredible sonic landscapes. I think tracks 1 and 3 are the best but it's a great listen overall.

Folk Prog Black Metal
The songs with Rob Coffinshaker feel like if Johnny Cash was in metal. The album overall has a strong folk feel with synth-y moments and a strong feeling of introspection.
