2014. What a year. Such metal, many progressive, much enjoy, WOW!
Here's my personal Top 25 for 2014 with a list of other awesome albums attached as honorable mentions as well as notable EPs.
Click on "Listen!" or the album art to find yourself following a link whose content I'm certainly not responsible for. ;) (bandcamp if existing, otherwise youtube or soundcloud)
Enjoy and stay metal!

Rishloo - Living as Ghosts with Buildings as Teeth - Listen!
Got this one a little too late to properly place it in the list (since only pre-orders arrived in 2014 I count it as a 2015 release anyway :)), but it would easily have been in the top 10. Maybe it will also top my list for 2015…
