XIII
Best (and worst) of 2013 (thus far).
Partially ordered (the ones with descriptions).
Subject to change, as I see fit.
Disclaimer: No claim will be made of this list being highly original. I scour the many wonderful lists by the other MS users and pick up finds whimsically. However, I'd be more than happy if someone finds this list useful in discovering worthwhile albums that are seemingly under the radar.  |

2.
Persefone - Spiritual Migration | |
3.
Shai Hulud - Reach Beyond the Sun | |

Enhanced Brutality
There have been a lot more quality releases within the brutal genre in the past year or so. Maybe not as many as other genres but a lot when you consider the relatively small number of brutal bands there are. So, being that it's my favorite region of metal, and that the fanbase has expanded exponentially, I'd like to make a short list of the better releases (and a few soon to be released) to highlight some of the golden moments within a somewhat unappreciated genre.
Also note that; these are in no particular "best to worst" order. Just listed at random for anyone who may have missed a new release or someone who wants to get into the genre by beginning with some of the recent best.
Oh, and... My spelling for some of these releases might not be right so, if you would like to point out where please do. |
1.
Abominable Putridity - The Anomalies Of Artificial Origin | |
2.
Abnormality - Contaminating The Hive Mind | |
3.
Katalepsy - Autopsychosis | |
4.
Beheaded - Never To Dawn | |
5.
Portal - Vexovoid (I wouldn't necessarily consider this "brutal death metal" but they certainly deliver a fashion of brutality in their own way) |

Playing To My Strengths: Facing Death And Its Technicalities
This is my manual for getting into one of the most complex, ridiculously insane genre there is: techdeth! Many albums featured here may borrow elements from other genres (prog, thrash, melodeath, grindcore, post, etc.), but the dominant stench of complexity-laden death metal is forever present, and so deserve to be mentioned here. |
1.
Decapitated - Winds Of Creation | |
2.
Nile - Annihilation Of The Wicked | |
3.
Necrophagist - Onset Of Putrefaction | |
4.
Obscura - Omnivium | |
5.
Gorod - A Perfect Absolution |
