It’s New Years Eve here in America and unlike all the other metal sites, blogs, zines, etc. out there I haven’t released my top favorite albums of the year. I decided to wait until now because what if I heard an album that made me shit my pants more than some albums on the list I already presented? That’s how I look at it at least.

But today I am just announcing my Honorable Mentions of the year which are the albums that were qualified for the Top 25 list but didn’t quite meet the criteria. I have 6 Honorable Mentions in total for you below that are not put in any particular order by preference. And if you’re wondering when the actual Top 25 is coming out what better day to do it than tomorrow – New Years?

Pro-tip: click on the album cover for a stream of the album and click the text to go to the review I made for the album.
