Metal 2016

[The Ozzman]

Somehow I highly doubt that shit.

You would because it's me and no one wants to admit I'm always right

 

[CiG]

I haven't really done a good job of keeping up this year.

Killer old school grinding death metal.

 

[Slayed Necros]

New Demontage.

[Pitiless Wanderer]

This is a huge 2 disc release with 16 vocalists. Very fun songs here, for sure. I would check this out if you like OSDM...something for everyone on here.

 

[Krow]

I haven't really like Avulsed since Stabwound Orgasm.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

Eh this one is quite fun...give it a shot? Might be worth it.

[no country for old wainds]

[The Ozzman]

also known as the hall of farts

I lol'd at that even though I'm a Katatonia fan

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

I mean that album is good but a total departure from what they've done before. It seriously sounds like they decided to just get in a room, jam together, and record the results. Some of the songs just start and stop with no warning and the structures are weird. The record also suffers from a paucity of classic gut-wrenching moments that the early works are famous for. Jonas sounds killer and the production is fantastic but the songs are just so below what they are capable of.

 

[EspaDa]

I lost interest in Katatonia after Night Is the New Day.

 

[nizzon]

What do you like about the new Katatonia?

Right now Everything. If you look back in this thread when it was released you will see that I had the same kind of thoughts as Uneasy_Conscience, I was really disappointed especially in Jonas weird vocal lines and didnt think it fit the music and weird melodies. I think I expeted and wanted another album like Dead End Kings and it is not, its much softer and slower. It took me like a month to get into it.

I also have to add that overall I have been disappointed this year, Meshuggah and Dark Tranquillity especially, but its still quality and they will probaby keep growing.

So did I, the first time, its old now.

 

[CiG]

Evil thrash metal from Poland.

the moonblood guys released a full length this year under a new name (well, it's existed since '97 but this is their first proper album). may interest @Slayed Necros among others.

apparently the pre-moonblood band demoniac also released a new one this year randomly:

along with moonblood i like that there are 2016 albums by ohtar, sacrilegium, sorcier des glaces, antaeus, wyrd, kawir, countess, belenos, darkestrah, profanatica, dark fury, arkona, agatus etc. lets me pretend i'm in a world where the last decade of hipster infiltration didn't happen.
