[Midnite Monk]

Sonne Adam - Transformation is the album of the year, no question.

Autopsy - Macabre Eternal is a close second.


honorable mentions:

Mitochondrion - Parasignosis
Owl - Owl
Lantern - Subterranean Effulgence
Corpsessed - The Dagger and the Chalice
Nader Sadek - In the Flesh
Morbid Angel - Illud Div.... oh wait, nevermind.

 

[Midnite Monk]

I was about to say that nothing had impressed me this year but then i remembered 40 Watt Sun. The Inside Room is definately one of the albums of the year.

I haven't heard anything that really impressed me yet. Autopsy's Macrabre Eternal would be #1 in my book, but even that was a bit of a disappointment.

lol i just don't understand this. how can nothing impress you? this year has been great for death metal.

Sonne Adam - Transformation
Autopsy - Macabre Eternal
Mitochondrion - Parasignosis
Owl - Owl
Nader Sadek - In the Flesh
Lantern - Subterranean Effulgence
Corpsessed - The Dagger and the Chalice
Necros Christos - Doom of the Occult
Blaspherian - Infernal Warriors of Death

want me to go on?

Decrepitaph - Profane Doctrines Unburied
Gorephilia - Ascend to Chaos
Blut Aus Nord - 777 Sect(s) (more black metal, but whatever)
Vastum - Carnal Law
Maim - Deceased to Exist
Evangelist - Self Confidence
Miasmal - Miasmal
Deceased - Surreal Overdose
Stench of Decay - Visions Beyond Death
SepticFlesh - The Great Mass

how can absolutely nothing really impress you guys? how many albums that have been released this year have you actually tried listening to? the whole "i'm too cool to enjoy new music. there's nothing good anymore. early 1990's FOREVA!!" statements are getting old.

How long did it take you to chose the most boring death metal release of the year? Well, out of the "cool" ones? What else have you heard?
