Are you in the Varathron camp or do I remember wrong?

 

[no country for old wainds]

naa rotting christ camp for me, they push it to another level at times. i actually like STYGIAN FORCES more than HIS MAJESTY.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

No Demilich?

Honorable mention at least. Might replace The Winterlong.

1. Addictive – Kick Em Hard

Nice! Thought i might see this make your list.

 

[Slammed]

Couldn't not make the list. There is hardly a month goes by it doesn't get played

Necromantia are probably my favourite of the 3, but yeah, this year doesn’t have their best release for me! So Rotting Christ wins it.

Pure Holocaust is the best black metal release of this year for me, though. It’s not doing so well so far unfortunately. Guess you’d go with UaFM?

 

[Mort Divine]

this is so hard for me, outside of my #1 i have no clue how to rank things

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

this was such an important/defining year for technical death metal(Gorguts, Atheist, Pestilence, Suffocation, Death, Demilich, Electrocution, Cynic etc). Just a great fucking year all around.

Can I use some of my points to downvote Behirit?

Can I donate some of my points to your IQ so you can finally learn how to spell?

4. Anacrusis – Screams And Whispers

Sweet.

That fact that you associate Depth of Knowledge 1 skills (memorization) with IQ shows you don't understand what the test assesses.

 

[Talos of Atmora]

Yeah, don't mess with this man's intellect. He listens to Velvet Cacoon, after all.

1. Eucharist - A Velvet Creation

6. Beherit - Drawing Down the Moon
7. Dissection - The Somberlain
8. Demilich - Nespithe
9. At the Gates - With Fear I Kiss the Burning Darkness
10. Mystifier - Göetia

HMs:
Burzum - Det som engang Var
Coven - Boneless Christian
God Macabre - The Winterlong
Unanimated - In the Forest of the Dreaming Dead
Darkthrone - Under a Funeral Moon
Immortal - Pure Holocaust
Marduk - Those of the Unlight
Katatonia - Jhva Elohim Meth... The Revival

Eucharist sits a top the rest comfortably. Probably my third favorite Swedish metal album in general. The rest is all really fantastic.

At the Gates would have been a lock for #1 if the album were consistently as flawless as the first three tracks. As is, fantastic album anyways.

Varathron and Rotting Christ could go either way, but I find myself listening to Varathron more often so I gave them the edge.

Beherit is great, fuck anyone who says otherwise. Especially when those same people worship garbage like Deathspell Omega.

The fact that you took my insult literally shows that you don't understand trolling. Not that this is a surprise.
