4)Ancestors-Neptune with fire
Two long tracks packed with huge slices of sludge and killer jams.

3)The Devil and the sea-Heart vs. spine
Just crazy chaos flying everywhere.

2)Big Elf-Cheat the gallows
Spectacular blend of various 70's influences resulted in one of the most interesting albums of the year.

1)Byzantine-Oblivion Beckons
Byzantine were pushing the boundries of their genre with some of the most spectaular metal in some time. It's a shame that they broke up just as they were coming into their own.
