I'm (sorta) back. *The Finishing Touches* OKAY, so obviously not as much stuff from the last half of the year as the first. Sorry guys, but that first six months nearly killed me. Some stuff as a result will be missing, but major stuff not present is stuff I probably didn't care for. Alrighty then, enough with the "stuff"...

1.Bound By Entrails - The Stars Bode You Farewell

2.Royal Thunder - CVI

3.Akphaezya - Anthology IV: The Tragedy Of Nerak

4.Dissona - Dissona

Well another year went by so it is time for me to make a list of ALL my favorite releases this year. I didn't exactly keep up with every underground or main stream release for that matter. I didn't even hear all that many new albums this year. Pretty much, What you see is what I bought. However I had just enough to make an adequate list. I think I at least nailed all the heavy hitters anyway. Feel free to message me about the things I missed that I NEED to hear. Enjoy!

1.Napalm Death - Utilitarian

2.Cannibal Corpse - Torture

3.Cattle Decapitation - Monolith Of Inhumanity

4.Aborted - Global Flatline

5.Pig Destroyer - Book Burner
