Metal sucks.

Whining while blasting 80's and 90's music from speakers.
 
Question to swedes - is Roger Pontare still alive? If so, when will he release something new goddamnit.
 
Also, to answer the question, there is only one album worth listening to in 2016.

Huh, much more than english wiki says. Still, half of it is singles but i thought he didnt release anything since 2011. Shame spotify doesnt have 90 % of this stuff
 
  1. Katatonia – The Fall of Hearts
    Had a hard time with this in the beginning, especially the weird vocal lines, but I love it
  2. pg.lost - Versus
    Aweoms album
  3. Megadeth – Dystopia
    The surprise of the year. Its almost as good as Countdown To Extinction. Dave shows Metallica how thrash is supposed to be done.
  4. Dark Tranquillity – Atoma
    Not as good as many of the reviews says, pretty standard DT album imo but its still really good quality melodeath.
  5. Insomnium – Winters Gate
    Lost interest in Insomnium after Above The Weeping World (2006) but this conceptalbum is really good, and interesting for an insomnium-album. Its no Crimson but its really good.
  6. TreesOfEternity – Hourof the Nightingale
    This one has grown a lot the last few weeks, amazing album with lots of emotions and Aleahs passing makes some songs really deep and sad
  7. Diabolical – Umbra (EP)
    Probably the best EP I have heardf since Unblessing The Purity.
  8. TID – Fix Idé
    Somewhat of a disappointment, its too short.
  9. Cauldron – In Ruin
    The best Heavy Metal I have heard in a long time.
  10. Meshuggah– The Violent Sleep of Reason
    I was really disappointed with this, was hoping for more groove like obZen, but it has a few good tracks.
  11. Ghost – Popestar (EP)
  12. If TheseTreesCould Talk – The Bones of a Dying World
  13. Witherscape – The NorthernSanctuary
  14. Alcest – Kodama
  15. LacrimasProfundere – Hope is Here
  16. Abbath – Abbath
  17. Metallica – Hardwired to Self-Destruct
  18. CultOf Luna and Julia Christmas - Mariner
  19. Sumerlands - Sumerlands
  20. ColdWorld – Autumn
  21. Mithras – On Strange Loops

listened to this Katatonia album just now and it's nothing special, i dont even remember single tune or a moment from this album. Couldnt be more generic.
