 Re: Braveboard Top Albums of 2014
Note: The other thread doesn't get HOFed so everyone should put their year end lists in this thread again (preferrably with the Top 100 numbers at the end for comparison's sake) in order to preserve individual lists in the future.

 Re: Braveboard Top Albums of 2014
With the amount of people on this forum who listen to "kvlt" black metal, I'm surprised there weren't more people who voted for the new Varathron. I think I was the only one. What's up with that, black metal fans of the Braveboard?

 Re: Braveboard Top Albums of 2014
BIG THANKS LOAF! Stam1na, my #1 didn't list. A real shame this band is barely visible anywhere (minus Finland maybe?). Just top top notch and refreshing.

Here's my original top 15 without any fandangle. 1-Stam1na - SLK DNP2-Vader - Tibi Et Igni 143-Alcest - Shelter 324-Anubis Gate - Horizons 685-Evergrey - Hymns For The Broken 436-Archspire - The Lucid Collective DNP7-Cannibal Corpse - A Skeletal Domain 98-Gamma Ray - Empire Of The Undead DNP9-Whispered - Shogunate Macabre DNP10-Skull First - Chasing the Dream 7011-Behemoth - The Satanist 312-Mastodon - Once More 'Round The Sun 713-Within Temptation - Hydra 7314-Edguy - Space Police DNP15-Iskald - Nedom og Nord DNP

 Re: Braveboard Top Albums of 2014
Once again, huge thanks to LOAF for running this annual survey.
I think this is the first time ever my #1 matches the list's #1. Kudos to Warrel & crew for an outstanding metal album! Not surprisingly, half of my list didn't make it, haha. Anyway, here's how my list fared:
1. Sanctuary - The Year The Sun Died #1! Woo! 2. Vader - Tibi Et Igni #14 3. Judas Priest - Redeemer of Souls #6 4. Equilibrium - Erdentempel DNR, weird 5. DragonForce - Maximum Overload DNR not surprised 6. Exodus - Blood In, Blood Out #4 7. Sinbreed - Shadows DNR not surprised 8. Gamma Ray - Empire of the Undead DNR. Huh? 9. Valknacht - Le Sacrifice d'Ymir DNR not surprised 10. Iced Earth - Plagues of Babylon #66 11. Dust Bolt - Awake The Riot DNR not surprised 12. Vestal Claret - The Cult of Vestal Claret DNR; a little surprised, I discovered them through someone on the board (forgot who) 13. Allegaeon - Elements of the Infinite #56. Surprisingly made the list 14. Overkill - White Devil Armory #11 15. Dawnbringer - Night of the Hammer DNR. Huh? Thought there was more love for these guys on this board.
Honorable Mentions: 16. Sabaton - Heroes #42 17. Mastodon - Once More 'Round The Sun #7 18. Edgedown - Statues Fall DNR, pretty obscure stuff anyhow 19. Portrait - Crossroads #23. Figured this one wouldn't even come close, surprised at how high it placed 20. Helstar - This Wicked Nest #95.. yeah! 21. Machine Head - Bloodstone & Diamonds #94 22. Gloryful - Ocean Blade DNR. not surprised 23. Cavalera Conspiracy - Pandemonium DNR haha 24. Wolf - Devil Seed DNR - used to be a big Wolf following here and this is pretty much their best album in a decade. Ah well. 25. Opeth - Pale Communion #16 26. Alestorm - Sunset on the Golden Age #81 27. Anubis Gate - Horizons #68. Surprised this one placed! 28. Skull Fist - Chasing The Dream #70 29. Evil United - Evil United DNR 30. Holy Moses - Redefined Mayhem DNR

 Re: Braveboard Top Albums of 2014
I'm amazed that Behemoth didn't finish at #1. 3 is a damn fine placement, but to me it's such a spectacular record that putting anything over it from 2014 seems baffling.

Mastodon - Once More 'Round the Sun - 75. Aborted - Necrotic Manifesto - 556. Slipknot - .5: The Gray Chapter - DNC7. Down - Down IV Part II - DNC8. The Haunted - Exit Wounds - 389. Nashville Pussy - Up the Dosage - DNC10. Sabaton - Heroes - 4211. Bloodbath - Grand Morbid Funeral - 1312. Exodus - Blood In, Blood Out - 413. The Matadors - Say You Love Satan - DNC14.
