The Gothic Metalhead’s Top Albums of 2025
The Gothic Metalhead
One of our most discreet collaborator has one last top to give us before the year is over. So, without further do, here’s The Gothic Metalhead‘s top.
True kvlt: Yannis, Reel, Desu Taem & Ryan Thomson

You know how this starts, so let’s get to it.
Best Mix of Styles 2025
Metalcatto
This top is meant to recognize the work of those bands that don’t have a specific niche to attack—the kind of artists that make you say “what the heck was even that?” or “I didn’t know I could feel this.” It’s a journey through albums that are each more mixed and harder to pin down than the last, but that’s the whole point, right? To be disturbed beyond repair. Or, if you prefer, you can also call this the top albums I couldn’t fit anywhere else.
Milo Lane’s Top Albums of 2025
Milo Lane
(according to vibes, weather, and emotional damage)
2025 seemed so forked (Catto still won’t let me swear, so The Good Place rules apply) that it felt like it would never end — and honestly, it still kind of does. I’m not entirely convinced it isn’t yet time for the apocalypse. If this list abruptly ends, please assume society collapsed or my attention span finally did. On a lighter note, there’s no better time to count your blessings than cold, cold December — the month of numb fingers, hot headphones, and staring out windows in contemplation. Hopefully this list leaves you more blessed than before you found it.

This is all doom and gloom, so let’s get to it Pegah!
Vicky’s Top Albums of 2025
Vicky
Since I’m the youngest member here, it seemed fit to try and include as many genres as humanly possible. Also, this is like the third variant of my incredible list, so please be patient. Just remember, the correct question is never “oh, what did Vicky include in her list?”, it’s “what didn’t she include?”… Here it goes, the long overdue list, featuring dramas, friends, and spoilers:
True kvlt: Desu Taem, Pick Up Goliath, Unholy, Oncu, & Monolyth

Your toilet break is short, so let’s go!
True kvlt: Apeiron Bound, Murdery, Valkeneva Korppi, Cranium Rubrum, & Norblut

We have so many submissions, we need an extra day for them. So here we go!
Morte France – Hesperia
Metalcatto
Another Black Metal band from France, aaaaah!!! I’m excited. You know nothing mixes like those two when it comes to giving you an interesting experience. However, Morte France wants to do something different with Hesperia: it wants to reconcile Paganism and Christianity, which is like making pasta and chocolate sauce fit well together (food analogies are safe, they don’t offend anyone!). So, this album set some solid expectations for me, which is why I was afraid of ending up with endless disappointment — but let’s get to it.
