Metal 2018

My AOTY contenders are between these:

Just Before Dawn - Tides of Blood
Wytch Hazel - II: Sojourn
Whipstriker - Merciless Artillery
Gatekeeper - East of Sun
Solstice - White Horse Hill
Dautha - Brethren of the Black Soil

Need to check out the new Voïvod album though before I make any conclusive statements.

I still have a LOT I want to hear this year but I've been dealing with a lack of US distros for many titles and I just refuse to pay over $15 for a cd I might only listen to once or twice.

Some favorites from this year

Midnight Force - Dunsinane
Oxygen Destroyer - Bestial Manifestations of Malevolence and Death
Solstice - White Horse Hill
Black Magick SS - Spectral Ecstasy
Varathron - Patriarchs of Evil
Solstice - White Horse Hill
Marduk - Viktoria

You listed White Horse Hill twice my dude.

The new Marduk is good enough to be a contender? Damn might have to go and check it out.

Dunsinane is a good choice too, that album does rule. That was the first 2018 album I purchased actually.
 
Another two I have to wait for before making any conclusive statements (except for the fact that 2018 still has several months left in it) is Lucifer's new record and that new Deathhammer album. Evil Power was okay, but I'm hoping this new one takes them back to a Onward to the Pits-tier of quality.
