4. Enshine - "Origin"
5. Russian Circles - "Memorial"

9. Nami - "The Eternal Light Of The Unconscious Mind"
10. Riverside - "Shrine Of New Generation Slaves"
I think the most pleasant surprise of the year was the plethora of quality "post metal / rock" releases. I'm still bitter ISIS is no longer around, but Cult of Luna, Palms, Rosetta, Russian Circles and Year Of No Light all had quality 2013 releases in my opinion.
However, I'd only consider the TesseracT and Ihsahn albums to be "standout" releases on the year.
