2014 has truly been an impressive extreme metal year.

Honorable mentions
I have enjoyed these a little bit too much.

Misery Index has once more delivered, The Killing Gods is amazing, super heavy, and somewhat simple but still complex on so many levels.

Killitorous released their debut Party, Grind. The album is pure joy, both on a spiritual and technical level.

Diaclast hailing from Russia, released an EP called Sea Slaughter, it consists of only three tracks. BUT, I can't get enough.

Favourites of 2014, a list in alphabetic ascending order, work in progress..

Favourites of 2013, my top list of 2013 in alphabetic ascending order.

In this years list I especially want to highlight two albums:
First Defeated Sanity's Passages Into Deformity, it seems impossible to get tired of this beast.
Second Blockheads's This world is dead, this is how I want my GRIND, fast and groovy. It reminds me a lot of Mumakil's masterpiece Customized Warfare.

Version 2.0 of the Chart to M3U Generator is now available. This is much faster than the previous javascript based version.

The purpose of the application is to find tracks from the selected chart in your m3u-file-contents and generate a new one.

It is now also possible to skip tracks from the target. And also see which tracks weren't found in your playlist. This might give a hint on what you have missed.
