I'm having some issues with my 2022 list this year, so I'm going to try and break everything down by Clan to try and organize my thoughts. Here's my full, ordered list of Infinite albums I've checked out this year, I'd be interested to see anyone else's top 5 or 10 or whatever as we're going into the final month of 2022. A lot of these are carry-overs from other genres since Progressive Metal likes to weed its way into most other genres, but albums like Corpos Transparentes, Tiktaalika, The Endless, and Ode and Elegy have been a treat this year. This one is probably going to be updated heavily before the end of the year.

  1. Tómarúm - Ash in Realms of Stone Icons
  2. Epitaphe - II
  3. Elder - Innate Passage (Not Metal but close enough for my list)
  4. Imperial Triumphant - Spirit of Ecstasy
  5. Brii - Corpos transparentes
  6. Charlie Griffiths - Tiktaalika
  7. Dreadnought - The Endless
  8. Inanna - Void of Unending Depths
  9. Ode and Elegy - Ode and Elegy
  10. Mizmor & Thou - Myopia
  11. Haunter - Discarnate Ails
  12. Wilderun - Epigone
  13. Michael Romeo - War of the Worlds // Pt. 2
  14. Disillusion - Ayam
  15. Ashenspire - Hostile Architecture
  16. Rolo Tomassi - Where Myth Becomes Mystery
  17. Kardashev - Liminal Rite
  18. Hath - All That Was Promised
  19. Celeste - Assassine(s)
  20. Steve Vai - Inviolate
  21. Russian Circles - Gnosis
  22. Persefone - Metanoia
  23. Animals As Leaders - Parrhesia
  24. Seventh Wonder - The Testament
  25. Sylvaine - Nova
  26. Mountaineer - Giving Up the Ghost
  27. Krallice - Psychagogue
  28. Amorphis - Halo
  29. Evergrey - A Heartless Portrait
  30. Toundra - Hex
  31. Voivod - Synchro Anarchy
  32. Absent in Body - Plague God
  33. Pensées Nocturnes - Douce Fange
  34. Dir En Grey - Phalaris
  35. Aeternam - Heir of the Rising Sun
  36. Scarcity - Aveilut
  37. Ibaraki - Rashomon

My time with progressive/avant-garde/post-metal has been rather turbulent this year while still staying in my position in The Infinite, so I didn't find as many new Infinite albums that would stick with me long as I thought I would, but I can do a top 5:

1. Seventh Wonder - The Testament

2. Dir En Grey - Phalaris

3. Voivod - Synchro Anarchy

4. Persefone - Metanoia

5. Meshuggah - Immutable

One honorable mention is the new In The Woods... album Diversum that I really enjoy, but I would need to give it more listening before it can end up somewhere in my list.
