This list has been completely randomized, however in the interest of creating a numbered list that everyone gets horny for, I have assigned them numbers based on when they were picked from the proverbial hat, starting with number 10.<\/p><p style=\"text-align:center;\">As with all end-of-the-year lists, this is objective correct and you should feel bad if you disagree.<\/p><p style=\"text-align:center;\"><\/p><p style=\"text-align:center;\">Honorable mentions: <br \/><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=YqOyhout9LU\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><u>Ballads ov Blood by Ruins of Perception<\/u><\/a><br \/><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/restrictorplate.bandcamp.com\/album\/slamtona-500\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><u>Slamtona 500 by Restrictor Plate<\/u><\/a><br \/><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/stormland.bandcamp.com\/album\/the-altar-of-war\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><u>The Altar of War by Stormland <\/u><\/a><\/p><h3 style=\"text-align:center;\">10. <br \/><em>EVERYTHING HURTS AND I\u2019M DYING<\/em> BY NEGATIVE BLISS<\/h3><p style=\"text-align:center;\"><span style=\"font-family:'gg sans', 'Noto Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\">One of the Bandcamp tags for this album is \"cathartic\" and I think that sums this up really nicely.
