Zombi 'Shape Shift' is very good for that cinematic synth type stuff, though it's not as blatantly retro sounding as Perturbator.

Personally, the new Deathhammer and Nocternity albums did very little for me. Perhaps I should give them a few more listens, but I can't say my initial impressions warrant additional jams when there are better albums out there.
Like the new Megiddo. I swear that thing is wonderful.

predictably, i second a lot of the stuff on CiG's top 30, and on the lists by yoda and cook-ta
some stuff nobody seemed to mention (bolded ones are particular favourites):
dodheimsgard - a umbra omega
venomous maximus - firewalker
armory - S.M.I. EP
tarot - the warrior's spell
trial - vessel
tulsadoom - storms of the netherworld (also cover art of the year i reckon)
ranger - where evil dwells
suspended - hollowed minds
embrional - the devil inside
valkyrie - shadows
blood incantation - interdimensional extinction EP
hrom - legends of powerheart part 1
tentation - s/t
nightbreed - s/t
night demon - curse of the damned
hammer king - kingdom of the hammer king
sweat lodge - talismana (more hard rock but really fun)

Destruktor - Opprobrium seems to have gone by without much of a mention strangely, it fucking kicked ass.

This is a pretty good list with decent presentation. Dude is into some harder stuff than I typically am, but overall solid. Dude needs to work on his adjective usage a bit though...

I barely even listened to 10 releases from 2015. I sampled lots of the bigger releases and very little caught my attention. Liked these a lot, however:
Panphage - Storm
Panphage / Jarnvidr - Gøthalandom
Nachash - Conjuring the Red Death Eclipse
Ithaqua - Initiation to Obscure Mysteries
Possession - 1585-1646
Necromantic Worship - Spirit of the Entrance Unto Death
New Macabre Omen and Satan albums were good too. And Malokarpatan's Stridžie dni is interesting. Needs more listens.
I still need to check out the Mortuary Drape / Necromass split, the Cultes des Ghoules EP, Nordvrede's new album (fucking vinyl only bullshit) and some others.

I didn't include that because it's a compilation. (He's just announced the full length and revealed the art.)
Funnily enough that's how I felt about Crypt Sermon which I noticed was in your list. Thought it was very average, one of those albums that doesn't call to me for another listen at all. I was excited for it when it was announced but once I got it... I dunno.

So I'm finally going to begin my 2015 best of list. Probably going to add to it as I don't think i can really put 10 albums on it right now. A lot of the stuff I listened to this year was catching up from other years. But, here it goes, no order.
1. Visigoth - The Revenant King
2. Black Majesty - Cross of Thorns
3. Melechesh - Enki
4.
5. Blood Incantation - Interdimensional Extinction ep (whatever its an EP)
6. Jungle Rot - Order Shall Prevail
7. Havukruunu - Havulinnaan
8.
9.
10.
I've listened to quite a bit of other 2015 stuff but not enough to put it on here. This list will grow or change as I listen to more.

Liked for Jungle Rot. My list is going to change because I got like 4 more albums that dropped in 2015 AFTER 2015 ended. I'll have that this month hopefully
1. Amorphis - Under the Red Cloud
2. Swallow the Sun - Songs from the North
3. Luca Turilli's Rhapsody - Prometheus
4. Paradise Lose - The Plague Within
5. Blind Guardian - Beyond the Red Mirror
6. Paradise Lost - Symphony for the Lost
7. Moonspell - Extinct
8. Children of Bodom - I Worship Chaos
9. My Dying Bride - Feel the Misery
10. Def Leppard - Def Leppard
but I just went and checked out metal releases of 2015 on wikipedia and I realise there are probably a dozen bands I really like who have put out albums that I haven't heard. I've got a lot of catching up to do.

Funerary_Doom
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Here's mine in (mostly) order:
1.) MISÞYRMING – SÖNGVAR ELDS OG ÓREIÐU
2.) Mgla - Exercises in Futility
3.) Obsequiae - Aria of Vernal Tombs
4.) Venexfixion - Defixo (an EP but this stuff is amazing. I bought it on bandcamp and didnt realized I bought a cassette).
5.) Genocide Shrines - Manipura Imperial Deathevokovil
6.) Death Karma - History of Death and Burial Rituals Part 1
7.) Macabre Omen - Gods of War - At War
8.) Taphos Nomos - West of Everything Lies Death (EP but this stuff is killer)
9.) Starlight Ritual - EP (Heavy Doom metal from Canada recently discovered and was blown away by)
10.) Chrch - Unanswered Hymns ( awesome doom that you can get lost in. this spot was pretty hard for me to fill. but when I throw this on, I'm really amazed.)
Some honorable mentions:
Litourgiya- Batushka I really loved this. I love the hymns and its use of chants and church sounding hymns. It was really hard for me to choose between this and Chrch.
Aerial Ruins- Ash of your Cares Aerial Ruins have been a personal favorite of mine since forever.
There's still so much I havent heard in 2015. Like the new Uncle Acid, and that Khemmis stuff which sounds promising as fuck, and Iron Kobra. I have to make a few purchases today.
Edit: Fuck, I totally forgot Black Magic SS - The Black Abyss. Thought it was relased in January for some reason and not December. Well... I'll have to add it tbh. I'd probably put it somewhere around 4 or 5... damn I gotta redo this shit.

I really wanted to like the new Enslaved, because I loved RIITIIR... But man it sucked. The nicest thing nuclear blast did for me, turns out, was cancel my order for the rarest vinyl variant because they couldn't fill it.

I just realised today that Gentlemans Pistols released an album last year. Completely went under my radar and from what I can tell everybody else's too.
Is it just me or has nobody mentioned this yet?
