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:

Vicky’s Top Artworks of 2025

Vicky

I decided to eventually stop procrastinating, and finally get to writing this article, and actually give you what you guys have been asking for for a while, a top best artworks made by a person lacking in any sort of drawing skills whatsoever. But, I make up for that with my writing skills, you have to give me credit for it. Without any further do, here are the three albums I really liked, artwork-wise:

10 great songs that were released in 2025

Vicky

Before our calendars even think about telling us that we have entered the realm of December, I think we need a top 10 songs that have been released throughout 2025 just to motivate us. Now these tracks have been carefully selected by yours truly after spending 11 months listening to almost every single new material that Spotify could provide in the Rock/Metal domain, as well as going to different shows in my beloved homeland.

An Album per Writer: How to Lose All Your Staff in One Go

I think it was time for me to come up with a way to thank my reviewers, who helped me cover the holes in my game. However, as any toxic manager would, this could also be considered their yearly review letter — because power only feels good when it’s corrupt! Let’s go!

Your Birth Month = Your Metal Album (and it’s way truer than astrology)

Vicky

Metalheads deserve to know whether they are the album they adore, according to their birth month. Through the power of astronomy I have made this list entirely from scratch. Alright, without the power of astronomy, just the power of your recommendations. So I’ve gathered some of the coolest albums my friends gave me (and that I thought were kind of good, too) and made a list.

Stargazer & Elyna

Stargazer Scholar

Once upon a time, the little Stargazer was in the car with his dad. They were listening to the radio and a rock song came on. I could not remember its title or the artist for the life of me (no Shazam back then, alas), but I will never forget the exact moment when the guitar solo came on.

Five good albums you probably never heard of (’90s edition)

Vicky

To make this introduction brief, I am just going to say that I realised these days that the ’90s as a decade had marvelous music, both Rock, and in Metal. Given that there were so many great albums released during that time, I’ve decided to make a short list containing five of my personal favorites – that are also sometimes overlooked.

Best Avant-Garde Albums of 2024

Happy New Year, kids! I can’t think of a better way to start the year than by wrapping up our 2024 Catto Awards (yes, I think I’ll name them that way). Avant-Garde Metal is probably the hardest genre to define. It can be everything and nothing at the same time. However, I’d briefly sum it up as the Metal subgenre that makes us all say, “What the fudge? Is this Metal or a college art project?” Anyway, let’s finish this.
