GMD Poll: Top Ten Albums of 2014

It reminded me of Priest when I heard it. It's on my list of albums purchased that year as well but I don't know if I'll get to it before I have 10 ready to go. I pointed out 6 on my list that will be in my Top 10 without even relistening.
 
1. Alestorm – Sunset On The Golden Age
2. Hatriot – Dawn Of A New Centurion
3. Obituary – Inked in Blood
4. Philm – Fire From The Evening Sun
5. Exmortus - Slave to the Sword
6. Breitenhold – Secret Worlds
7. Exodus – Blood In Blood Out
8. Overkill - White Devil Armory
9. Orange Goblin - Back From the Abyss
10. Nervosa - Victim of Yourself

@HamburgerBoy is that Johnny Touch album really going to make your top 5? I remember it being nothing more than good background music. I have it on vinyl so i might have to go back and revisit it.

Probably, but I'm going to give it another listen. The last song I totally love, one of the greatest riffs I've heard when it comes to post-1993 metal, and one of my favorite U-M theme game discoveries. I remember the rest being not as good comparatively after repeated listens, but it's still damn fine retro metal, more effort put into those songs than 99% of their competition.

Nice list! How is the Suhnopfer compared to the debut? Really been getting into the debut since you recommended it.

Still need to check that one out. I really dig Darkness Revelation.

It's probably my favourite thing by the band but I love everything they've put out.

Very much in the same vein. Definitely check it out.

Should be up Pompey’s ally as well. Will probably end up making my list. Lots of stuff I need to give a fresh listen to from this year but it’s a promising one.
