The Countdown so far...

The Countdown so far...

Later on, after the clock strikes twelve and 2019 finally ends, we will know what the best album of 2019 is according to 93 of you lovely freaks out there. Those music fiends who had the time and energy to send their list to us. We thank you once again, cause without you fellow freaks in the HiVe this could not be possible. It has been a wonderful year for all sorts of heavy music once again, without any question. Amazing, stunning and incredible, the amount of great music being made around the globe.

And it seems the good stuff will keep on coming. 24 of the best albums made this year, made the Top 20 Countdown of 2019… But ofcourse you guys voted for many more great and magnificent albums. All of which deserve to be on all those personal lists. Cause they’re all awesome! And yes, we shall publish the Numbers 21 to a 100 in a few days. Probably on January 2nd… We will feature the personal lists of the HiVe team members; although most of those are already up on the Doom Charts page!  And unfortunately, there was NO album that holds The Red Lantarn this year. There was not one album that was voted for on the twentieth position of someone’s list and only once… But we shall mention a few of those bottom dwellers; cause who knows, it might just be your new favorite album! But before we tear up or start professing our love for this or that, let's run though the countdown and prepare for fireworks, a truckload of champagne and the knowledge of who produced the Number 1  album of 2019 according to you voters out there! Thanks everyone and let's all make sure 2020 will become the best year ever! Or at least the best year 2020 can be! Heavy, loud and amazing!
