I suppose in hindsight this year hasn't been that different from last year, though I followed Australian metal releases a lot more closely this year than last. Noteworthy for me that a few bands had top-tier releases from last year and followed them up this year with music not as good (Tyrannic, Solemn Ceremony, Vile Apparition...) but I guess that's not that strange a thing to happen.
Oh well, I'll always have Volatile's dumb arse ockercore to keep me happy until the next good Aussie metal release in 2020.
