"Each year I build a Spotify playlist with every album I do like. I don't know why but this year, this list is not as full as the other years. Was I too lazy to discover new stuff, or did I stick to much to oldest music that I love for years? Also, I've been spending quite a lot of time writing Thot next album, and we'll enter the studio mid January, with Magnus Lindberg (Cult Of Luna) behind the desk, so I'm quite excited! Anyway, I just realised that I've been listening a lot of hiphop/rap music this year, but also a lot of traditionnal folkore music, as I sing in a polyphonic choir. That's why I would like to conclude this list with this beautiful georgian song that learnt 2 weeks ago. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCYdLQM54jM Happy Xmas holidays to everyone!"

"It's very hard to choose 5 top albums because my list could go forever. These albums still give me shivers after hundreds of listens. The power is immense. All in all, water flows under the bridges, the planets spin, humans waste time in conflicts but music is eternal."

Daniel Schweigler
Musician at: Sweet Ermengarde
1. Coil - The Ape Of Naples
"This is a list of my current top 5 and a lie, though. For weeks now I don't listen to anything else but Coil. Magical and very inspiring."
2. Bohren & Der Club Of Gore - Black Earth
"Nighttime music at its best."
3. Virus - Memento Collider
"Virus and Ved Buens Ende play really strange and unique music indeed. This album feels like a lunatic rock band jamming the soundtrack to my oddest and most enigmatic dreams. Awesome!"
4. The Doors - Strange Days
"It is summer right now and what could be better than listening to some Doors records in those days?"
5. Beastmilk - Use Your Deluge
"This one and White Stains On Black Wax are eternal all-time favourites. Without a doubt Goatspeed is one of my favourite musicians and songwriters. I am a guilty fanboy. Need a bassist?"

My top 5 is a combination of a an all time absolute favourite record, one that became my biggest influence as a musician, a great album that has fantastic memories attached, an emotional journey of an album, and a total metal classic that is the essence of heavy metal for me. I'm sure you can work out which is which."

Erik Molnar
Musician at: Hyperion, Mist Of Misery
1. Bal-Sagoth - Battle Magic
"Bal-Sagoth is a superb band that I have been listening to almost every day for over half a year now. Simply stunning compositions and epic melodies. This album features their best work in my opinion."
2. Blind Guardian - Somewhere Far Beyond
"Blind Guardian have always been one of my favourite bands and are by far my favourite power metal band. Some of the songs on this album are simply magical."
3. Nordman - Nordman
"A highly acclaimed Swedish act that I have been kind of listening to on and off for many years. This album is a perfect example of how GOOD pop should be: Melodic, a touch of melancholy and catchy in a non-cheesy way."
4. Bal-Sagoth - The Power Cosmic
"I decided to put this band on the list twice, because I simply cannot get tired of listening to these guys. This album is nothing short of pure magic."
5. Vangelis - 1492 (Conquest Of Paradise)
"This unforgettable soundtrack gets better every time I listen to it, even though I have been into Vangelis's music for years. Truly, no one can create moving soundtracks that are so filled with emotion the way Vangelis does."
