TOTALLY forgot about this one some how. Amazing album, still can't believe they're a trio sometimes.
You've got some damn good picks in here.

I'm surprised anyone on here even knows about them! I caught them live in the summer because a band I produced was supporting on their glasgow date, I wasn't sure at the time because of the complexity of the material on first listen but I stuck the record on after the show and really got into it - it's an awesome album for sure and I've caught them another 3 times since when they've been great - for a three piece they really do fill out really well live and they're really modest humble dudes.

Someone linked me to the stream of the new album that was running the week before it came out and I was instantly hooked. I need to see them live, going to make a point to plan parental visits around their touring schedule

If I had to choose 10 best it'd be hard, cause there's been a lot of amazing albums this year, but my first pick is without a doubt:
1 - Leprous "Coal"
It gets better with every listen, and was already mindblowing the first time! I'm lucky to have been able to see them on tour, they played the whole album except one song.
The rest, in no particular order:
2- Black Sabbath "13"
3- Carcass "Surgical Steel"
4- Blindead "Absence" (suprise of the year for sure)
5- Steven Wilson "The Raven That Refused to Sing"
6- Paradise Lost "Tragic Illusion 25" (I know it's a compilation, but it's totally awesome)
7- Defeated Sanity "Passages into Deformity"
8- Guttural Secrete "Nourishing the Spoil"
9- Ghost "Infestisummam"
10- Amaranthe "The Nexus"
11- October Tide "Tunnel of No Light" (I know it's 11, I couldn't leave that one out)
Dissapointments:
Tristania "Darkest White". Great songs, but the production totally kills the vibe. Might grow on me like happened with 2010's Rubicon, but for now I'm not liking it.
States "Paradigm". I'd been waiting for this one since their kickstarter in May, the album finally came out last week and after two listens I find it quite boring compared to Room to Run.
I still have to listen to Cathedral's final album "The Last Spire" and a few more, and I probably forgot some as well, but I think this would be my choice for now.

Hahaha I know, but their songs are sooooo catchy I actually want them to keep putting out the same thing so I can keep listening to them without repeating albums. After several (and by that I mean A SHITLOAD OF) listens though, I definitely prefer The Nexus, less repetitive and catchier choruses, therefore more lucid sexual fantasies with the chick. Ok, I'm being a sexist cunt on that last point, the band is great kthxby
