Outlaws Of The Sun - Top 70 Albums Of The Year For 2024

Here it is folks. My favourite Top 70 Albums Of The Year For 2024.

This was perhaps the hardest year for myself putting this list together as there's a joint Number One album which is a first for me. So technically speaking there's 71 albums that I've chosen. 

I want to thank you all for reading the blog on a daily basis and letting me air my views on releases within the world of Doom, Sludge and Stoner Metal.

Huge Thanks to Frazer Jones at Desert Psychlist for his never-ending support and words of encouragement. Matthew Thomas, Marty Harvey and Gizmo for having my back throughout the year.

Thanks to the awesome contributions from Håkan Nyman, Jon McGough and S Patrick Brooks for their superb reviews and contributions to the blog this year.

Honourable mentions and thanks to Edd JR Saylor, Todd Stealey, Steve Rodger, Mel Lie, Doomcakes, Doom Charts Crew, Stevie Reek, James Marshall and Bill Goodman for their support as well.

I must also give a shout out to the Bands, Labels and PR Reps who helped me be aware of albums or bands that I may have missed.
