Best of lists from metal bands, metal genres and other music-related topics.
This is my list of the ten best Pain of Salvation songs. I’ve been a fan of the album for a long time, and it was “The Perfect Element I” that initially caught me. Pain of Salvation has had both highs and lows during their career, but they’ve certainly managed Read more…
Deftones is one of my favorite bands, and this is my list of the 10 best Deftones songs. It also includes five songs that almost made it into the list. Even with my five extra songs I left out massive Deftones songs like “Minerva”, “My Own Summer (Shove It)” and Read more…
This is my ranking of the best European metal festivals. Naturally, I can only the rank the one’s I’ve been to, which excludes big metal festivals like Hellfest and Graspop. It’s also strictly from my viewpoint, which means a focus on partying and sometimes obscure extreme metal bands. I also Read more…
Bloodbath is an all-star death metal project featuring members from Katatonia, Opeth and Paradise Lost that produced many classic songs. They’ve gone through a few different eras with different styles and vocalist. The only album without a song featured on this list is “The Fathomless Mastery”, their only album I’m Read more…
2017 has been up-and-down year for music, featuring both surprises (Ulver!) and disappointments (Meshuggah, Suffocation, Testament).

Katatonia has made a lot of fantastic bonus tracks over the years. This is my list of the 5 best Katatonia bonus tracks/b-sides. I’m probably going to get a bit of slack for not including “Unfurl”, and it was pretty close to making the list, along with gorgeous prog track Read more…
October Tide started out as a Katatonia side-project, and is regarded as an essential death/doom metal band. The band released two legendary albums, (“Rain Without End” and “Grey Dawn”) in the 90’s before disbanding. The band returned in 2010 in a new shape, more influenced by the modern metal scene.

Ranking the 20 best Anathema songs is a hard task for several reasons: they have a ridiculous amount of good songs, they have tried many musical styles and it’s also hard to compare fresh tunes to nostalgic memories. One thing I do know is that I prefer their lighter clean Read more…
Which 20 Amorphis songs are the best? Amorphis is a long-running band with many different eras, so there are a lot of songs to choose from; everything from old school death metal and doom metal to accessible folk and progressive. Here you can find my two cents, hopefully an interesting Read more…
