Metal 2017

I always wonder how people who dont know Swedish perceives it.
It translates to Golden Gates Bridge, plural, actually more like The Bridge of the Golden Gates.

I love foreign languages and have been learning Swedish for a while. Jag älskar Sverige och Svenska. :rofl:.

The Contortionist - Clairvoyant
Mindmaze - Resolve
Goatwhore - Vengeful Ascension
Entrails - World Inferno*
Cannibal Corpse - Red Before Black
Act Of Defiance - Old Scars, New Wounds
Scale The Summit - In A World Of Fear
Black Star Riders - Heavy Fire
Immolation - Atonement
Narcotic Wasteland - Delirium Tremens
Suffocation - ...Of The Dark Light
Decrepit Birth - Axis Mundi
Memoriam - For The Fallen
Kreator - Gods Of Violence
Origin - Unparalleled Universe

Hour Of Penance - Cast The First Stone
KXM - Scatterbrain
Dying Fetus - Wrong One To Fuck With
Obituary - Obituary*
Trivium - The Sin And The Sentence*
Power Trip - Nightmare Logic*
Beheaded - Beast Incarnate


The ones with asterisks are the best thus far without listening again but that could change by the time the poll is created.

According to my discogs collection I’ve bought ~4.5 pages worth of stuff released this year. Will have to sort through what’s reissues and what’s new and see what I come up with.

Also have the new Kawir on the way from nwn.

Cool. I dont have much to say as most of the bands arent my thing, but Entrails release is pretty good indeed.
I have a list in somewhat of a top 10 order...

  1. Ordos - House Of The Dead
  2. The Haunted - Streangth In Numbers
  3. Paradise Lost - Medusa
  4. Hallatar - No Stars Upon The Bridge
  5. Cloak – To Venomous Depths
  6. Pillorian - Obsidian Arc
  7. Nailed To Obscurity - King Delusion
  8. Satyricon - Deep Calleth Upon Deep
  9. Into Orbit - Unearthing
  10. Dool - Here Now, There Then
Dune - Asheran
Wormwood - Ghostlands
Evocation - The Shadow Archetype
Soen - Lykia
The Lurking Fear - Out of the Voiceless Grave
Septic Flesh – Codex Omega
Hideous Divinity – Adveniens
Gloson – Grimen
Entrails – World Inferno​

Disappointments:
Anathema
Samael
Decapitated


Cloak's album hasnt been released yet but from the few tracks I have heard it will be awesome, waiting for the vinyl to drop.
One amazing EP that isnt metal is Magna Carta Cartel's - The Demon King, probably my most spinned record this year.

I haven't seen them live yet but I'm planning to. I've discovered them pretty recently (shame to admit), but I heard they're crushing live experience.
