Another year has passed and we are nearing the fifth anniversary of our amazing organisation. A lot has happened for Grimm and everyone that is a part of it, in Belgium as well as in other parts of Europe where we are getting more and more active. It also marks the fourth year as my role as the editor in chief for this site but I could have never done it without the help of our amazing team and especially Vaim who has put a lot of effort and work in the site as a whole. 2017 was in particular a very good year when it comes to releases, old and high valued bands have re-emerged, new ones have sprouted up and some have probably been lacking the attention they deserve because of the absolute abundance of albums, EP’s, splits and demo’s that have seen the light of day. Yet we can only try to give everyone as much attention as possible and try to give equal chances to every artist out there. My personal efforts in this matter resulted in the following top 10 of the past year.
| 10-6 | 5-2 | 1 | Honourable mentions |
It is always difficult to choose only 10 albums out of the vast amount that is released every year, that is why I will list some honorable mentions here that just didn’t made the cut. The listing is in no particular order.
Chaos moon – Eschaton Mémoire
Acherontas – Amarta (Formulas of Reptilian Unification II)
Der Weg Einer Freiheit – Finisterre
AmenRa – Mass VI
Cult of Fire – Untitled
Au Dessus – End of Chapter
Tchornobog _ Tchornobog
Blaze of Perdition – Conscious Darkness
Almyrkvi – Umbra
Sortilegia – Sulphurous Temple
And countless more that I’ve probably forgot to mention still here…
