Hexen sounds like it might be up my alley. Will definitely give that one a listen before finalising my best of the decade submission.

I decided on a self-imposed limit of 2 albums per artist, and preferably 1 if there is a clear standout in their discography. I'm also gonna need to pick a date by which to finalize the 50 albums, or else there is no hope of getting them sorted

^ Sounds like it might be worth checking it out. I'll give it a listen.

no one talks about the band Hexen. fuck i love the band Hexen. the first album State Of Insurgency is just straight up pure thrash with hints and glimmers of what they would do on their next album. their second and finel album Being and Nothingness is a fucking prog thrash masterpiece. i haven't found any other proggy thrash album that can touch it's brilliance. such a god damn shame this band doesn't exist anymore. Being and Nothingness is one of my top 5 favourite albums of the 2010s period. it is so hard to even pick out a favourite track. i can't even imagine what music the follow up to being and nothingness would have sounded like. here is the album cover

5 of those are definites on my list, and there's a few that might with a re-listen. As far as the lack of ratings go, yeah right now it's just the active forum users (which aren't many) mainly that are rating things. I have a couple suggestions though of getting more people, Discord and Plug.dj servers would be a good way to do so.

I'm not a huge black metal fan, but I've been quite interested in the rise of the anti-fascist side of it. Bands like Gaylord, Neckbeard Deathcamp and Dawn Ray'd.

Interesting to see that at least 8 of those will probably make my top 50.

I have bouts of it. I haven't managed a review in a while, but some days I go through and click a few stars. I'm trying to be more proactive on it with new stuff I hear. With the make up of the users here, it's often the only rating those releases get.

Only 1 album there that has made (the current draft of) my list, Triptykon at #35, though a couple others that barely didn't make the cut I'm not very active with ratings/reviews though

Well they brought it back somewhat on the last two. Not exactly A Blaze in the Northern Sky anymore though.

There's a lot of albums I like in there. But it's kinda of a problem isn't it: we get so few ratings it only takes a few people with similar taste and our charts are completely dominated. We need more people rating/reviewing albums!

I have rated/reviewed seven of those, and had to go all the way to 39 to find the first one!

One of the more interesting developments of this decade is Darkthrone completely abandoning black metal to channel their inner Motorhead/Venom/Celtic Frost

If anyone is interested, based on ratings and reviews left alone, these are the site's top 100 albums of the 2010s.

^Title track sounds really good, that'll probably end up making my top non metal list.
If you like that sound, I can recommend some of Eat Static's stuff, this song in particular:

^ They also released a non-metal EP in 2014. No dubstep (that I recall), but RYM filed it between space ambient and IDM.

Listened through some of it, sounded good though it has the same issue that I have with Apartment 26's Music for the Massive. When the dubstep and other non-ambient electronic elements are there, it sounds REALLY good, but I don't think they utilize them enough. I'll be looking forward to seeing if they do on their next album though.

Started some relistens now and re-ranking my list as I go. Good thing, because I already have one that wasn't on my first draft ranked higher than some that were. Right now I have eight albums that I feel are ranked correctly in relation to each other. Ones I've played today or very recently. The rest will probably look very different to what I posted in my first draft.

I feel like I could probably get a list of 50 and only have black metal on it to be honest. But I will try to vary it as much as possible. Just trying to narrow down all my five stars for now. I sometimes forget to leave ratings though, so I don't have an easy list to check.
