Greatest album of 2013

Henbane is cult and the new Antediluvian rips too. I still check out new music but I'm losing the cognizance of what album is what year. Making lists of each year's best releases is becoming somewhat difficult to process.
 
Here are albums I like this year:

Warlord - The Holy Empire
Satan - Life Sentence
Havok - Unnatural Selection
Enforcer - Death by Fire
Enshine - Origin
 
Hey Dave, check out the new Holy Grail album ... looking at your list, i think you might dig it.

Ok so far I feel like this:

1) Cultes Des Ghoules - Henbane
2) Antediluvian - λόγος
3) Wulkanaz - Paúrpura Fræovíbôkôs
4) Revelation - Inner Harbor
5) Tribulation - The Formulas of Death
 
Alright so here's the tentative list, with a small dose of speculation.

Inter Arma - Sky Burial
Intronaut - Habitual Levitations
Nocte Obducta - Umbriel
Light Bearer - Silver
The Ocean - Pelagial
Motoi Sakuraba - What's Up?
Palms - S/T
Gorguts - Colored Sands
Summoning - Old Mourning's Dawn
Gris - À l'âme enflammée, l'äme constellée...
 
Here’s mine so far. In no particular order as of yet.

1) Soilwork – The Living Infinite
2) Deafheaven – Sunbather
3) Amon Amarth – Deciever of the Gods
4) Suffocation – Pinnacle of Bedlam
5) Amorphis – Circle

That’s it for now. I still am waiting for the new Fleshgod Apocalypse to come in the mail. Release date is today so that should be soon. I’m anticipating that making the list but I’ll wait until I listen to the whole thing. I’m also excited for the new Dream Theater album, but we’ll see how that turns out. I liked the new track they released, and they have a tendency to release the weakest track on the album as as single for some reason.

I still need to pick up the new Deeds of Flesh, and it sounds like I need to get the new Gorguts album too. Also want that Summoning album and I want to get the new Carcass as well, but it wasn’t all that thrilled with the one track they released and reviews on here seem to be “good not great” to “sucks balls”.

All in all, I spent most of this year collecting vinyl and older albums that I wanted; either way it’s still been a good year, and I’m sure I’m forgetting some albums too.

If I were to speculate what the best post-black metal album of the year will be for me, I would lean away from Sunbather. It's an excellent first listen, but just doesn't have much return value for me. I'm thinking it will either go to the new Castevet, or the new Altar of Plagues.
 
I cant wait for the new Castevet. If it is anything like Mounds of Ash, it will definitely be a top contender to earn the title...The new AoP, big disappointment for me.
