The yearly tradition of making mixtapes of things I enjoyed throughout the year continues!

First up, we have "Satan's Blade" which brings the heaviness. There were quite a few great death metal albums this year and there's also some grind, sludge and doom thrown in there as well. Crushing.

Next up, we have a mixtape of electronic based music ranging from a solid amount of synthwave with some ambient tracks, pieces from soundtracks and a few other random things thrown in for good measure.
A bunch of these were off of my top albums of the year and this is definitely my favorite mix.
