What's your metal album of the year for 2013? Or maybe just list your favorite five or something idk. I really fell out of the swing of things last year due to my life being a little crazy with college and moving around so I don't have one myself.

That new Altar of Plagues album was pretty good eh?
 
The new altar of plagues sucked so fucking hard they broke up shortly after.

Satan - Life Sentence
Dream Death - Somnium Excessum
 
Yeah new Altar of Plagues was a massive bust.

Top 3:

Aosoth- IV: Arrow in Heart
Deafheaven- Sunbather
Peste Noire- Peste Noire

Those were the only three metal albums I absolutely loved. After that there's a number of albums that I really liked. Wędrujący Wiatr and Svartidauði were the best new metal bands I heard.

Cosmic Church-Ylistys
Fyrnask- Eldir Nótt
Gravecode Nebula-Sempiternal Void
Windhand-Soma
Lycus-Tempest

Speaking of Altar of Plagues, the Malthusian demo was badass. I am easily amused though.
 
@Mort: Logos is up there, yes.

My favorite is the Triumph, Genus album in the end but that's because I'm a twatatat.
 
I seriously fail to get the Antediluvian buzz. I own Through the Cervix and it never really clicked. Cool album and stuff, but nothing to make it really stand out among the other black/death bands. I'd rather blast Mitochondrion or Portal. I've heard Logos only a few times and nothing stuck out to me there either.
 
These bands had albums I liked in 2013
Carcass
Deicide
Caladan Brood
The Resistance
SkeletonWitch
Rings of Saturn
Manegarm
 
Carcass - surgical steel was my top pick(picked up from where they left off)

Hacride - Back to where you've never been

Gorguts - Colored Sands(texturally one of the most complex albums this year)

Vhol - Vhol(sonic barrage)

Lord Dying - summon the faithless(old school done right)
