A few to mention. I can't decide on one.

Dark Tranquillity- Fiction. Such a solid release. In my opinion they seem to have packed their whole career into one album, yet still made it sound fresh.

LORD- Ascendance. Another solid album. Lots of singalong songs building on the style Dungeon had me hooked on, while also moving forward - slightly.

Eyefear- A world full of grey. A huge step forward from their last album, which was good, but felt abit tedious in parts. Lots of great songs.
 
Carnal Forge - Testify For My Victims. Easily the best melodeath album I've heard in a damned long time. Great writing and structure, and I absolutely love the new singer.

The Black Dahlia Murder - Nocturnal. These guys really stepped it up, yet again, and the production is insane!

Dimmu Borgir - In Sorte Diabolis. My favorite DB release to date... incredibly album.
 
Soilwork - Sworn... again, I AM a biased bastard, BUT, that trumps everything I've heard this year... honestly...

There's been some good shit, too, but......... that's where its at.
 
This has been a very weak year for music. But anyways my Top 5:

#1: Ulver - Shadows of the Sun
#2: Elend - A World In Their Screams
#3: Samael - Solar Soul
#4: Dream Theater - Systematic Chaos
#5: Rotting Christ - Theogonia
 
Chimaira -Resurrection
As I lay Dying - An Ocean Between Us
Devin Townsend - Ziltoid the Omniscient
Megadeth - United Abomanations

Albums that I hoped to be in the list but dissapointed me:
Pain - Psalms of Extenction
Arch Enemy - Rise of the Tyrant (I listened to all their previous album uncountable times, this one probally 10-11 times..but I just can't get the hang of it..)
Dream Theater - Systematic Chaos (They should stop with trying to be metal/evil posers and just continue further on what they left on octavarium)
 
Or go back to sounding cheesy, 80's and really damn good.

Fuck I think they were at their peak with "Awake" and "Metropolis 2." I really haven't enjoyed their last few records although I have bought all of them. Their whole obsession with "Master of Puppets" needs to fucking end. I never liked Metallica in the first place...
 
Top 5:
1. Symphony X- Paradise Lost
2. Soilwork- Sworn To The Great Divide
3. Sybreed- Antares
4. Carnal Forge- Testify For My Victims
5. Mnemic- Passenger
 
1 - Neurosis - Given to the rising.
2 - High On Fire - Death Is This Communion.

EPIC albums.. the HoF record is soooo fucking good..

Other somewhat less contenders but still awesome records:

3 - Down - Over the Under
4 - Weedeater - God Luck and Good Speed.
5 - OM - Pilgrimage
 
DÅÅTH 'The Hinderers' - Superb production, great songs, technical, melodic and original.

Swallow The Sun 'Hope' - Excellent doom

Sybreed 'Antares' - Well produced, heavy yet melodic, great vocals

Devin Townsend 'Ziltoid The Omniscient' - It's the Dev!

Behemoth 'The Apostasy' - Brutal!
