Haven't even heard of half of those. Dig the independent thought! Or I've just spending too much time on the /r/metal black/death circlejerk?

It's a difficult year to choose a top 10 or 15 list. When I do mine, I think I'm going to just list the albums in no real order. Too much good shit, and good shit that's bound to get better as I listen to it next year.
 
Still rounding out the top 10. Aside from my 7 I previously posted that are top 10 for sure so many others to contend with... Uada, Fyrnask, Hyperion, Ash Borer, Kvalvaag, Howls of Ebb, Astral Path, Spaceslug, Cult of Luna, Destroyer 666, Ashbringer...
 
10. Church of Misery
9. Blizaro
8. Wretch
7. Angelsword
6. RIP
5. Eternal Champion
4. High Spirits
3. Tarot
2. Sumerlands
1. Wytch Hazel

Just made that list up on the spot and that will likely change once I seriously sit down and think about it but I'm pretty confident in the first 5.

2016 has been one fucking weird year, all I can say is the albums that came this year were better than I expected. All in all a good year for music. I guess one thing I felt throughout the year is that black metal has become so trendy that nearly every album I listen to sounds the same, tons of bland sounding crap. I guess it's always been that way it's just 9 out of 10 albums I listen to are just boring as hell.
