Yearlist 2000:

[2000]


①		Novembers Doom The Knowing Score: 10/10

Abyssic Hate Suicidal Emotions Score: 10/10			②

③		Rotting Christ Khronos Score: 10/10

Dark Lunacy Devoid Score: 10/10			④

⑤		Opera IX - The Black Opera: Symphoniae Mysteriorum in Laudem Tenebrarum Score: 10/10 Opera IX is always pure enjoyment for me. Their typically melodic black style with the female grunts of Cadaveria sound as good as ever on this third cd. I think their sound and technique progressed since the last album, but on the down side, they haven't changed much other than that. It would be better if it was a little more original, but still it sounds great, and for me it's the best album this year so far...

Primordial Spirit the Earth Aflame Score: 10/10			⑥

⑦		Rapture - Futile Score: 10/10 Mostly when I get to hear the debut cd of a new band I think "nice, but it's all done before much better" or "Maybe with some more practice and experience they'll get there", but every once in a while I get the pleasant surprise of a debutcd that immediately impresses me. "Futile" by Rapture is one of these gems. They play a melodic doom death a bit in the vein of old Katatonia / Opeth, but definitely have their own sound. The compositions and atmosphere on the album is amazing, with a sadness that appeals a lot to a doom metal fanatic like me. So another band I can add to my list of all-time favourites.

Green Carnation Journey to the End of the Night Score: 10/10			⑧

⑨		The Sins Of Thy Beloved Perpetual Desolation Score: 10/10

Amortis Summoned by Astral Fires Score: 10/10			⑩

⑪	Shape Of Despair Shades of... Score: 10/10

Negură Bunget Măiastru Sfetnic Score: 10/10			⑫

⑬	Garden Of Shadows Oracle Moon Score: 10/10

Morgul - The Horror Grandeur Score: 10/10 Hmmm... I guess this is what I'd call neo-black. So many black metal nowadays that some bands from the black metal roots try something new. Morgul always was a bit different, but with this album he definitely made something different enough to stay original but still (black) metal enough to stay interesting. Lots of keyboards, acoustic guitars and clean vocals make it lean more towards doom and industial metal, but the black metal is still very much present in his sound. Very much recommended...			⑭

Mythological Cold Towers Remoti Meridiani Hymni - Towards the Magnificent Realm of the Sun Score: 8.5/10			60

61	Mactätus - The Complex Bewitchment Score: 8.5/10 I don't know why, maybe I just set my expectations too high when I hear a great debut cd like Mactatus' Provenance of Cruelty. But so often the cd after just disappoints me. Just like The Complex Bewitchment. It's still good, well played and great sound, but it's just not as original. There are some good songs on it, but it just doesn't keep interesting for an entire album. And about the artwork: Nothing wrong with naked chicks, but with the weird make-up and the dead black animal on her head she looks more ridiculous than exciting...
