The Amity Affliction - Youngbloods: deserves a mention since I normally don't listen to anything in this style at all, yet I've spun this album countless times. Good live too.
Defeated Sanity - Chapters of Repugnance: A well crafted, brutal mindfuck.
Deivos - Gospel of Maggots: Just good and to my tastes in BDM.
Fleshwrought - Dementia/Dyslexia: Like a better version of the Faceless with the interest of Animosity (courtesy of Navene, obviously). This album fucking rules and I'm surprised no one on here has mentioned it yet.
Kayo Dot - Coyote: Was panned a bit by the die-hards, but I guess I'm not a die-hard. Interesting meandering journey from this crew.
Nevermore - The Obsidian Conspiracy: Perhaps the vocals are a bit weaker than usual but not the point of warranting all the melodrama I've read on these boards. Just as good as TGE but with a different atmosphere.
Soreption - Deterioration of Minds: Kinda disappointed by the production and music in general, but the riffs.... oh god the riffs! Also surely the tightest rhythm playing I've ever heard/seen.
