Juggalo
Don't bother with that Gorguts album. I wasn't impressed one bit with the few songs they released before the album dropped.
The new Carcass album is probably my favorite of the year followed by Korn's latest album Paradigm Shift. Good return to form for them.
Eligos
Problem Yet to be Solved
Funerary_Doom
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Korn's still a band? Damn…

Not prepared to make an actual list because of the sheer volume of records we got for the year. In light of this I'll just whip up a quick list of my current Top 10 Metal Ep's of the year.
(In Alphabetical Order)
Arnaut Pavle: Self-Titled EP (Sick Finnish BM. Hear influences from Blaze era Darkthrone)
Black Magick SS: Panzerwitch (Psychedlic synthy BM)
Bölzer: Aura (Classic in the making)
Convulse: Inner Evil (Haven't heard the LP which also came out this year, but it seemed like it dissapointed. These 2 tracks though are killer.)
Cultemort: La Messe du Diable (Savage Blasphemy styled BM)
Mitchondrian: Antinumerology ("Atmospheric" Death Metal. For fans of Portal)
Necroblood: Second Blood (Probably the one I've heard most. Evil French Black/Death)
Nightbringer/Dødsengel: Circumambulations of the Solar Inferno (Nightbringer is one of my favorite current Black Metal acts, like pretty much all of their output. The Dødsengel half of the split is growing on me.
Ranger: Knights of Darkness (Real old school Speed Metal)
Sect Pig: Slave Destroyed (Disgusting, fucked up Von-worship)
I'd like to ask everyone. How much of your metal listening time is devoted to new releases? Do you mostly listen to newer stuff or are you digging through the library of metal?

Thanks for this.
It's basically all new to me. I mostly just look up things people say are good and find out when those things are from later.

When I had more free time I would review a lot of new black metal albums, which would compel me to check out a lot of new stuff. Now I don't really have the time so I just listen to what I'm in the mood for. It's usually a mix. In October/ early November I was on a mad old school thrash kick, now I've been listening to a good mix of old and new black metal. Just depends on my mood.

All in all, there were a lot of disappointments for me, some surprises too, so it wasn't that good of a year, Best/favorite albums of 13' are:
Soulfly - Savages, really nailed this, certainly didn't think it would be my album of the year, it saved metal for me in 13', Max showing everyone how it's supposed to be done, hasn't sounded this good in a long time, it has the best, sickest, heaviest, coolest riffs/music this year.
Amorphis - The Circle, wonderful folk/prog/death/doom metal, didn't think I'd like this
Kataklysm - Waiting for the End to Come, fav death metal band never disappoints
Rotting Christ - Kata Ton Daimona Eaytoy, amazing perfect melding of black metal with goth/folk, didn't expect this
Soilwork - The Living Infinite, their definitive statement
Darkane - The Sinister Supremacy, modern thrash leaders really never dissapoint
Jungle Rot - Terror Regime, solid meat and potatoes death metal
Hon mention:

Yeah Rolling Stone is a terrible magazine.
https://rateyourmusic.com/list/schmidtt/rolling_stones_500_worst_reviews_of_all_time__work_in_progress_/
^ This shows how clueless RS is; they basically gave negative reviews to all the classics they fellate these days (i.e Sargent Pepper, Are You Experienced, Paranoid, etc.). Oh, and they also gave the first Hanson album a better rating than the first Bjork album
