2020

Hail to everyone!

The time has come to summarize the Finnish Black metal scene for the releases in 2020!

What I`m really happy to announce is that it`s still keeping it`s true canonic way and not going to let it down.

I don’t know how Finland tries to be successful with it as for many years I have lost the interest to the biggest part of other Black metal scenes which I used to love. From those are Swedish, French, Iceland and other ones, except some bands which I still follow and waiting for. Nevertheless, I can`t say the same about Finland which black fire continues to inflame every time despite the weather. For now I decided to create my own symbolic top 13 list of the releases which impressed me most of all.
