Extreme Metal 2004 Awards

Yes, I know I'm late with this, but it's been a tough year for me as far as music is concerned since so many great albums are banned here in Malaysia and I had to rely on other means to get good music.
I had a tough time coming up with lists of what I considered the best of the year, so I'll leave it to just naming the best and mention what I feel deserve a credible mention.
