I already have a good idea of what my top 5 are going to be....the rest I'll have to listen to more though.

I aim to get a couple of missed releases in every day until the deadline. 

I´m not sure you´ll enjoy it as much as I do, but the new Sinister is pretty high on my list this year.

I find it helpful just to get some down and then edit it until I'm happy with the order.

Necrophobic - Dawn Of The Damned is well worth hearing.

A couple of albums I only picked up myself last week that you might like being a black metal fan are Fortid - World Serpent and OndSkapt - Grimoire Ordo Devus. Both excellent albums and at least one of them may yet make it into my list.

Got Cult of Lilith on now. Pretty good. Thumbs Up

I'm currently looking through RYM's chart, as well as other people's lists, for likely albums. 


Nice one.  Glad it's to your liking.  I am currently cherry picking stuff from other's lists that I haven't heard.  On the second run through of Hatebreed's 2020 album which will be in the list somewhere.

I also forget to include Sepultura.

I'm one short of 30, unless I've forgot anything else I've already heard.

LOL

Just nearly forgot to put in Sepultura, personally. Might be because I still can't believe they made something as strong as Quadra after all this time. It's made me appreciate their last couple more as well. 

Yep. This just popped up in my Spotify Discover Weekly list:
ONSLAUGHT - Generation Antichrist cover

Now it's like "Fuck, fuck ,fuck, gotta add it to the list!"

I’ve not actually heard the Sepultura album. Need to give it a listen or two.

I'm probably not going to have that many as I haven't listened to a lot of 2020 releases yet(though I could be wrong...my memory is awful). Lovebites will certainly be on there though. Also, I NEED to check out that Sodom album! Didn't even realize they had a new one out!Shocked

And that's me done, I think.

Still got a few days if I remember anything else.

A few unlucky ones that I have rated at 3.5 or higher that didn't make my top 30:

Uada - Djinn
Glacier - The Passing of Time
Wake - Devouring Ruin
Annihilator - Ballistic, Sadistic
Burning Witches - Dance With the Devil
Nightwish - Human. :II: Nature.
Haken - Virus

Less over what I've heard and more what I haven't even checked out. 

Just relistened to Sepultura and I've greatly impressed. It will upset something on my list.
