As we’re now ever so slightly past the halfway point for 2018, we as a team thought we would take stock and share our favourite releases of the year with our readers. It’s a great chance to see what has connected the most with our writers, as well as being a handy list for some great albums and EP’s you may have missed so far in 2018.
There is a very wide selection of records on offer, with the top picks across the team being Ghost’s Prequelle (4 times), Møl’s Jord (4 times), Cancer Bats’ The Spark That Moves (4 times), Rolo Tomassi’s Time Will Die and Love Will Bury It (3 times), Turnstile’s Time and Space (3 times) and Judas Priest’s Firepower (3 times).
