2006 for me has been a year of numerous solid albums without any that really stand out. Besides the ones that have been mentioned here are some that I'ved liked
Infected Malignity - The Malignity Born From Despair
Septycal Gorge - Growing Seeds of Decay
Guttural Secrete - Reek of Pubescent Despoilment
Skinless - Trample the Weak, Hurdle the Dead
Kataklysm - In the Arms of Devastation

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Good to read a lot of you guys' lists.

My top (metal) albums would have to include these and others:

1. Gory Blister - Skymorphosis [epic technical death]
2. Raunchy - Death Pop Romance [melo-death/metalcore]
3. Dismember - The God That Never Was [melodic death]
4. Textures - Drawing Circles [extreme progressive]
5. Scythe - Decay [progressive death]
6. Maroon - When Worlds Collide [metalcore]
7. Gorod - Leading Vision [technical death]
8. Unreal Overflows - Architecture Of Incomprehension [technical melodic death]
9. Anata - The Conductor's Departure [technical death]
10. Drottnar - Welterwerk [technical blackened death]
11. Persefone - Core [progressive/epic/symphonic]
12. It Dies Today - Sirens [melodic metalcore]
13. Atheretic - Apocalyptic Nature Fury [technical brutal death metal]
14. Qhwertt - Cloudland [melodic funeral/drone doom]
15. Spawn Of Possession - Noctambulent [technical death metal]

 

[Slayed Necros]

The new Peste Noire is quite good. But not great.

Aye, if they'd have continued with the raw, abrasive production a la Macabre Transcendance it would have been a winner.

Will Stronger than Death will be good, no fucking doubt.

Midvinterblot was decent.

My favourite, hands down, is VVorld VVithout End by Katharsis. But to be fair, I've heard very little else, and really don't care to rectify that.

 

[Mort Divine]

I really can't say at this point anymore, the only 2006 release that gets alot of attention from me still is Ashes Against The Grain.

That is and will no doubt be AOTY.

[Mort Divine]

*added Mirrorthrone - Carriers of Dust

Great album, need to listen to it more

 

[unknown]

it really is a great album, but I know it's going to get overlooked by a ton of people

Amesoeuresours would be on the list but not for a fucking 3 song MCD...if they give me something of substance, then sure...

 

[Mort Divine]

I need to relisten to every 2006 album I have so I can really set up a top 10 or whatever.
