As with 2014, this year has been lethal in terms of releases for extreme metal with many sterling releases from all corners of the globe from established and new bands alike. The only down side with such a prolific year is whittling the releases into a top twenty five at the end of the year. Throughout the year we’re always as objective as possible when reviewing but when it comes to the year-end listings it’s a totally different matter as what gets placed where is totally down to personal tastes and preferences. It's easy to be a critic when you’re reading these types of lists and whilst I doubt anyone would have a top 25 exactly the same I do feel you’ll agree the standard of the music herein can’t be questioned.
