In Memoriam
by Crowned in Sorrow
supported by 9 fans who also own “Nothing for us here”
Out of the wreckage brought upon by dual personal tragedies comes an outstanding album that is sorrowful and victorious. Once you listen to this a few times, it’s hard to want to listen to anything else for a while. This is my front runner for metal album of 2021, and perhaps even my overall AOTY.

Through the Dark Ages
by Trébuchet SDG
supported by 7 fans who also own “Nothing for us here”
Finnish medieval unblack metal. I was directed to this via Griffon's end of year list, and if I am to take anyone's thoughts on medieval bm it has to be theirs. An historically diverse collection of Christian grudges expressed with a snarl and a nice sprinkling of diverse musical moments. I don't have a horse in the race of a song like Sola Scriptura, but I love the ferocity of it. A great album to listen to while reading your way through some schismatic rabbit holes.

Crushing blackened doom from this German band that counterbalances blinding fury with moments of surprising, melancholy melody.

Crimson Moonlight is one of the few brutal black metal bands that rival their evil counterparts Dark Funeral, Marduk, and Belphegor. They are fast, aggressive, and hold themselves at a higher standard than many other Christian Black Metal bands. Raw and brutal yet crystal clear production.
