Combining all different variants of the genre, we had a great year in terms of Black Metal with some excellent new bands appearing and some of the older bands making a comeback. Note that we left Post-Black Metal/Blackgaze out of this list.

With so many genres bleeding into each other, and us not being huge fans of 'traditional Doom', we present our top Doom-ish releases that include Death-Doom, Atmospheric Doom, and some more exotic variants. Other good albums we did not review but are worth mentioning are: My Dying Bride "Feel the Misery" and Swallo the Sun "Songs From the North "

5. Event Relentless – Cold Black November (2015). Relatively newcomers, these guys deliver killer melodies and excellent atmospheric keyboards. | ||
