Joop Konraad’s – Personal Top 20
of 2023!
This is my Personal Top 20 for 2023. It keeps amazing me the amount of great music released every year. And every day! Ever since Stoner HiVe started in 2009 the amount of great releases in our little Heavy Underground niche is stunning. For even though you can peruse my Personal Top 20 here… There are many more albums that I thoroughly loved! So, below that Top 20, there's a massive list of albums that all deserve to be heard in my opinion... And I am sure, dead sure, I'm forgetting to mention a few! As well as that I'm sure of the fact I will be discovering more amazing albums from 2023 in the weeks to come...
Soon, a lot of Personal Top 20 lists of all the Doom Charts Contributors will appear on the Doom Charts Page. And I will share mine there as well. Here, it’s just the list. And on the Doom Charts I will add some blurbs for all those amazing albums in my Top 20… Let's hope we are treated to as much good and heavy stuff in 2024 as well!
