The title says it all. What are your favorites albums that were released this year? I've been cleaning my place and listening to this year's purchases all day and here are my top ten:
1) Evile - Five Serpent's Teeth
What a great album. The vocal are much improved and the guitar riffs and solos are just insane. I have been listening to it constantly since its release.
2) Havok - Time is Up.
This is a close second..the best American thrash record of the year.
3) Vektor - Outer Isolation
Simply Amazing. I love everything about this album. I would love to see them tour with Megadeth or Slayer so they can get exposure to a wider audience.
4) Warbringer - Worlds Torn Asunder Another kickass album. I almost feel like these guys are a local band since I was fortunate enough to see them 3 times in the last year
5) Krisiun - The Great Execution I love the drumming on this album
6) Exhumed -All Guts, No Glory
7) Vader - Welcome to the Morbid Reich
8) Obscura - Omnivium.
9) Jungle Rot - Kill on Command- I love the way these guys combine Death and Thrash.
10) Sepultura - Kairos. The last three Sepultura albums have been great...not as great as Beneath the Remains or Arise but much better than the crap they released in the mid to late 90s.
Honorable Mentions:Alestorm - Back Through Time(Really catch and fun metal; good music for drinking with friends) Anthrax -Worship Music; Toxic Holocaust - Conjure and Command; Skeletonwitch - Forever Abomination; Lazarus A.D. - Black Rivers Flow; Macabre - Grim Scary Tales; Pathology - Awaken to the Suffering; Decapitated - Carnival is Forever
Most disappointing release: Children of Bodom - Relentless, Reckless, Forever -What a load of shit. When I listen to C.O.B. I stick with the first three albums, the rest is garbage.
Best Debut album: Spellcaster-Under the Spell Heard about these guys through a friend so I downloaded the album and was pleasantly surprised that they kick ass! I highly recommend them to anyone who appreciates power metal and traditional heavy metal.
