(Our friend Vonlughlio has once again prepared a year-end list that focuses on his favorite metal genre, brutal death metal, and today we present all 25 of his ranked selections.)
Hello dear readers, it’s been a long time since I wrote for NCS due to 2021 being full of challenges, from having COVID at the beginning of the year and changing jobs. Basically, having no time to do BDM reviews for NCS. Hopefully for 2022 I will be more active in that regard. Before getting into it, I would like again to thank Islander and his collaborators for doing a great job like always.
For this year I will not be adding comments in each of the positions as I’ve done in previous years (due to lack of time). Hopefully, dear reader, you will click the players and give the bands a listen in the hopes of your liking them. I also will not include Honorable Mentions (again due to lack of time, and there are so many lol). One other thing that changed this year is the triple tie for the Number 1 spot. Those albums are the most-played in this household and I could not pick just one.
Anyways, check out the list and I hope you like what you find, and that you can show support to the bands however you can.

The most excellent post I’ve seen so far. All of these are works of art. Great list, cheers!
Thank you
OOOOH, first list that looks heartfelt and uncompromising. You’ve given me A LOT to discover.
Could always depend on you to bring the Brutal DM out. So much to check out. I only ever checked out the Turkish cenotaph and they are great! The rest are all new.
Nice. Keep the brutality flowing. Intricated is my favorite band here.
Always need this list! Thanks so much!!! Interesting that some of my personal faves aren’t on the list considering how my list is almost nearly identical to Vonlughio’s.
Some examples that didn’t make it:
Arsebreed – Butoh
Cadavoracity – Vitiosus Forma Exilum
Manifesting Obscenity – Mahapralaya
Twitch of the Death Nerve – Beset by False Prophets
Ecchymosis – Ritualistic Intercourse Within Abject Surrealism
Dispersed – Where Silence Reigns
Thank you for the comment. As for Arsebreed and ecchymosis they were released in 2020 and both were in my year end list of that year:
