ULCERATE Vermis
GORGUTS Colored Sands
AUTOPSY The Headless Ritual (or IMMOLATION Kingdom of Conspiracy)
OBLITERATION Black Death Horizon (havent heard it yet but i already know its gonna be killer)

what are your top 5 so far?

 

[Krow]

Satan - Life Sentence
Dream Death - Somnium Excessum

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

As of right now ...

1 - Gorguts - Colored Sands
2 - Execution - Perversions and Blasphemy
3 - Voivod - Target Earth

those three stand far apart from the rest of the stuff i've been also been enjoying...

Carcass - Surgical Steel
Defeated Sanity - Passages Into Deformity
Autopsy - The Headless Ritual
Vorum - Poisoned Void
Deeds of Flesh - Portals to Canaan
Sodom - Epitome of Torture
Denouncement Pyre - Almighty Arcanum
Suffocation - Pinnacle of Bedlam

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Summoning - Old Morning's Dawn
Aosoth - An Arrow in Heart
Caladan Brood - Echoes of Battle
Dream Death - Somnium Excessum
Portal - Vexovoid

And that's pretty much all I've heard.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

Just metal?

Aosoth- Arrow in Heart
Peste Noire- S/T
Deafheaven- Sunbather
Ash Borer- Bloodlands
Darkthrone- Underground Resistance

Darkthrone is kind of a filler on the list. It's a fun album but nothing special. I'm sure Ruins of Beverast, Oranssi Pazuzu or someone else will kick it out of the top 5.

 

[Krow]

There is no way sunbather is better than TUR or even literally any other album listed here yet.

Why you guys like deafheaven, I'll never understand. uke:

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Deeds of Flesh is my favorite so far

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Oh shit, i forgot about the new Darkthrone, that would prabably take the #4 spot for now.

I've also been listening to the new Wormed album lately, some sick shit right there.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

I totally forgot Wormed even had a new album out. Considering that Planisphaerium is pretty much the best thing in slam/brutal death metal how does their new album stand up? Does it hold a candle in honor, or is it actually something to behold.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

There is no way sunbather is better than TUR or even literally any other album listed here yet.

Why you guys like deafheaven, I'll never understand. uke:

Uh, because it's fucking awesome album? The songwriting is excellent and some of the patterns their drummer comes up with are just phenomenal.

 

[Krow]

And it's boring and barely metal.

 

[Baroque]

Havok
Hatchet
Lost Society
Anciients
Blood Tsunami

 

[Sloz]

Ade - Spartacus
Hatchet - Dawn of the End
Suffocation - Pinnacle of Bedlam
Caladan Brood - Echoes of Battle
Carcass - Surgical Steel

No specific order...

 

[futile]

Aosoth - Arrow in Heart
Caladran Brood - Echoes of Battle
Gris - A lame enflammee..
Deafheaven - Sunbather
Summoning - Old Mornings dawn

 

[KafkaX]

Thy Light - No Morrow Shall Dawn
Sombres Forets - La Mort du Soleil
Antediluvian - Logos

Still holding out for Ulcerate, Fyrnask, and Celeste. I have high hopes for all three.

 

[zerostatic]

I've haven't been terribly impressed with any release this year. Maybe the new Death Angel or Warbringer will be awesome.

Top Three:

Sodom - Epitome of Torture
Gama Bomb - The Terror Tapes
Exhumed - Necrocracy

 

[wretchedrecords]

forgot about Necrocracy. need to give that one another spin

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Satan - Life Sentence
Dream Death - Somnium Excessum

Yep, in that order too.

 

[sevag00]

No order:

Abyssal - Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius
Cauchemar - Tenebrario
Gris - À l'âme enflammée, l'äme constellée...
Thy Light - No Morrow Shall Dawn
Chaos Invocation - Black Mirror Hours

 

[futile]

Thy Light - No Morrow Shall Dawn
Sombres Forets - La Mort du Soleil
