Ghost Cult’s Album Of The Year 2023: Part 4 – And The Number One Album is Blackbraid’s – “Blackbraid II”
And then there was one.
Ghost Cult started out in the Netherlands in 2012 as a digital magazine, and we mainly covered only underground bands with rare mentions of mainstream artists.

In a throwback, more underground bands made our final voting list from our staff than in many years. We like that too.
And now our #1 album for 2023 is…
