1. Sabaton – Carolus Rex
Sabaton = Chorus masters. Their best album. If you like impassioned and anthemic beer hall choruses, this is up there with Pretty Maids and Running Wild and various Graham Bonnet projects.
2. Hellwell – Beyond the Boundaries of Sin
One of the most consistent Mark ‘The Shark’ Shelton releases ever.
3. Urogenital Macrophage — Perversion and Sickness Destroy the Human Race
Curious about slamming brutal death metal? Start here.
4. Wrathblade – Into the Netherworld’s Realm
Quirky epic metal that grows on you.
5. No One Gets Out Alive – Like a Lamb to the Slaughter
Behold the death metal cricket. Well arranged and patient slam.
6. Kraanium — Post Mortal Coital Fixation
Raunchy slamming death metal covered in phlegm.
7. Dexter Ward – Neon Lights
This is the new band from former Battleroar vocalist Marco. Although nowhere near as good as Battleroar’s To Death and Beyond… [which is one of the 25 best metal albums EVER], this is a cool mix of NWOBHM with some forays into epic and power metal. I imagine 99.9% of the people who like Trespass, Red Lights and Bashful Alley will dig blue collar metal tunes like Metal Rites & Ghost Rider
8. Horrendous – The Chills
Dismember + Bolt Thrower with singing like Van Drunen. I want these guys to play in Marty’s house. Highlight cut: Fatal Dreams
9. Begging for Incest – Orgasmic Selfmutilation
10. Asphyx – Deathhammer
Honorable Mentions:
Abominable Putridity – Anomalies of an Artificial Origin
Nile – At the Gates of Sethu
Manowar – Lord of Steel
Marduk – Serpent Sermon
I will not put my band Realmbuilder’s second album Fortifications of the Pale Architect on the list, since that would be rather biased, but yeah, of course I think it’s good enough to be on there. Judge our new doomy epic metal tunes for yourself—
