GMD Poll: Top Ten Albums of 2019

[Baroque]

Far from ready to make a list, but here are some albums I plan to relisten/listen to and rank ([EDIT] ranked):

1) Exmortus - Legions of the Undead (EP)
2) Algebra - Pulse?
3) Dream Theater - Distance Over Time
4) Candlemass - The Door to Doom
5) Warchest - Sentenced Since Conception
6) Bestial Invasion - Monomania
7) Ripper - Sensory Stagnation (EP)
8) Trecelence - For I Am the Eyes (EP)
9) Memoriam - Requiem for Mankind
10) Sadistic Ritual - Visionaire of Death

Different, almost metal, awesome, where do I put this:
Leprous - Pitfalls

HM:
Inculter - Fatal Visions
Blood Incantation - Hidden History of the Human Race
Xoth - Interdimensional Invocations
Suicidal Angels - Born of Hate
In Mourning - Garden of Storms
Galaxy - Lost from the Start (EP)

Lots of fun but not super memorable after:
Black Mass - Warlust
Enforced - At the Walls

Good efforts by old guys making a comeback just not quite fresh material in 2020:
Sacred Reich - Awakening
Exumer - Hostile Defiance
Xentrix - Bury the Pain
Acid Reign - The Age of Entitlement
Vulture - Ghastly Waves & Battered Graves

Token spacey stoner doom album:
Robots of the Ancient World - Cosmic Riders

I'd take recommendations of thrash/prog/osdm also

Awesome collection of potentials there, so much stuff I personally love, very interested to see how your list ends up looking.

Only things I'd recommend are:

Suppression - Repugnant Remains EP (OSDM)
Fatal Agent - Re-Animated demo (thrash!!!! tbh their demo from 2018 sounds a lot better)
Undeath - Sentient Autolysis demo (OSDM)
Inoculation - Anatomize EP (OStechDM)
Trecelence - For I Am the Eyes EP (tech thrash)
Abythic - Conjuring the Obscure (OSDM big riffs)
Astral Tomb - Subterranean Forms EP (experitech OSDM)
Mutilate - Contagium (thrashy OSDM)
Ossuary - Supreme Degradation demo (doomy OSDM)
Nocturnal Witch - A Thousand Pyres (black/thrash)
Frozen Soul - Encased in Ice demo (if you like Bolt Thrower...)

Apologies if I accidentally listed anything you already did yourself.

--------------TO BE CONTINUED--------------

 

[Krow]

I haven’t saw it mentioned yet, again probably because of goofy band name, but Copulation of Cloven Hooves will probably make my list this year. Ripping old school thrash/black.

Is there any plan to do a thread like this for the decade(s) too?

Top ten albums of the 2010s would be epic

I was thinking we'd do a poll for ranking the actual years of the decades as well. I may just host one while this is going, since this is months out from finishing.

I'm on board with this idea and I'd be down to host it, too. I think we should finish the 2019 poll first, though.

 

[Bloopy]

We should probably finish all the individual years in the 2010s before doing the decade.

[CiG]

Pass.

 

[Krow]

knew I liked Crypt Sermon from the first time I heard Heavy Riders. It’s riff for riff a Ghoul song changed to traditional doom metal.

 

[rms]

Pass.

wack

[Phylactery]

1. Mefitis- Emberdawn
2. Funereal Presence - Achatius
3. Polemicist - Zarathustrian Impressions

5. Sorathian Dawn - Sun of the Deep

As an In the Nightside Eclipse fanboy I want to like Reign in Supreme Darkness more than I do, but it just doesn’t grab me as much as the debut.

Had to edit this Polemicist into my list. Been listening to this shit a lot lately.
