Here is the list of my favorite albums of 2025, and an easy to follow 1-20 and beyond, simply clicking each quoted post. #MetalSky #MyAOTY2025

Grind Finale – #Grindcore & extreme Metal Ranking 2025 Grind is my natural habitat. And oh boy! 2025 was a strong, wildly innovative, deeply unorthodox year for the genre. Uncomfortable ideas, broken structures, zero handrails. Exactly how grind should feel. 🪚💥 #metalsky

My Black #Metalsky Ranking 2025 🖤🔥 A lot of solid releases – but once again, that one album towering brutally above everything else was missing for me this year. 🥇 PLATINUM: #Gràb - Kremess Dark, earthy, archaic. No trend-black, no Instagram-black. Cold, serious, uncompromising – exactly my thing.

More death metal albums worth your time in 2025: Phoenix Cryptobiosis / #Avulsed Veteran brutality – classic, direct, unapologetically old-school. The Summoning Bell / #Malthusian Dense, suffocating death metal with ritualistic weight.

Today it’s time for my Death Metal Ranking 2025. A very strong year overall – even if that one absolute 10/10 album towering over everything else is missing. Still: this year delivered filth, intent, and conviction. #AOTY #metalsky #deathmetal

Classic Metal – 2025 Ranking 🛡️🔥 Quick disclaimer: classic / traditional metal isn’t the genre I’m most fluent in, but 2025 still delivered some absolute bangers I couldn’t ignore. So here we go #metalsky. 🤘

my 2025 Concert Ranking -🥇 PLATIN TIER – Life-altering stuff ● #BloodIncantation – transcendental ● #ImperialTriumphant – gold-plated madness in 7D ● #9DEAD – pure ultraviolence. ● #Disavowed –Dutch death metal destruction.

Skyconqueror - Relics Of The Dark Forge Download for free on Bandcamp. Also available for streaming. skyconqueror.de/relics-of-th... #metalsky

Time for my 2025 Deathcore Ranking – Let’s descend. 😈💥👇 PLATINUM: #Stillbirth - Survival Protocol German brutality at its absolute peak – blastbeats, caveman grooves, and yes… actual cowbells. Only Stillbirth can turn farm equipment into a weapon of sonic destruction. 🇩🇪🐄🔔🔥

Strongest lyric line of the year: “Thе gold which crowns this tower pays its respects only to thе black…” This album somehow captured my entire 2025 mood — everything crooked, sick, and completely out of shape. A year that felt off-axis...

2025 has been ridiculously strong for #Thrash, so here’s my official Thrash Metal Ranking for the year. Sharpen your riffs, brace your neck, let’s go. #metalsky⚡🔥
