I have a feeling that 2026 will be a difficult year for my #AOTY2026 selection. There have already been a few good albums and there are many great candidates on the horizon.
ThomasI guess it's time for an update on my preliminary AOTY list. I also added my notes.
Wildhunt still holding on to the top spot. I saw them live and they played really good 🤘

Zepter is a new one and oh boy that is some old school heavy metal that is totally up my alley. https://zepter.bandcamp.com/album/zepter
Ritual Arcania also deserve a shoutout, that's some spooky stuff. https://heavypsychsoundsrecords.bandcamp.com/album/ritual-arcana-ritual-arcana
What's your AOTY so far?
