The Vektor album was good, but it is kind of overlong and had too much filler. Concept albums tend to end up like that, especially when they try to tell a story, and this was no exception. Albums like this tend to get shelved by me once I give it a couple listens and digest the concept.
Im also surprised at the relative love that Dystopia is getting. I dont even think I got through the entire album in one sitting yet, very boring and run of the mill thrash with shitty modern production, too much chug, not enough riffs, and too much unnecessary soloing.
The best thing ive heard from 2016 was probably Eternal Champion, but overall most of what I heard wasnt that impressive. Chthe'ilist deserves a mention though, even if it is slightly derivative at times.
