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 North 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.

...So this is where all my listening went this year, huh? I've got a lot of work to do, some of these definitely deserve another shot, like the newest Deathspell Omega. Autonoesis and Tómarúm have taken the crown this year so far, with my opinion on which one edges out the other changes from day to day. The Asunojokei album grew on me immensely throughout the year, and there wasn't any way Caio Lemos' Brii wasn't going to be high up in the ranks. There was tons of Black Metal out this year and, yet again, it didn't disappoint.
