Not a top year, but the finalists are:
17.
1.
Omnium Gatherum - New World Shadows
Melodeath. Monumental
17.
2.
Ghost Brigade - Until Fear No Longer Defines Us Melancholic Sludge/post-grunge. Good-a little bit below its predecessor
17.
3.
Junius - Reports From The Threshold Of Death
Post-metal. More direct this time. Coldplay meets Deftones w/xtra guitar wall
17.
4.
Black Sun Aeon - Blacklight Deliverance
Solid atmospheric up tempo doom-death from the prolific Suomi
17.
5.
Mastodon - The Hunter
Nowhere near the ingenious Crack the skye- but good nevertheless
17.
6.
Mechina - Conqueror
Cyber Metal
17.
7.
Xerath - II
Complex orchestral metal. Accomplished and rewarding
17.
8.
Suidakra - Book Of Dowth
German celts with power
17.
9.
Obscura - Omnivium
The best album of the new death
17.
10.
Septicflesh - The Great Mass
Symphonic Death. Nihilism and perfectionism, but I can't quite digest it as well as Communion
17.
11.
A Pale Horse Named Death - And Hell Will Follow Me
Type O meets Alice in chains, nice trip down memory lane
17.
12.
Chthonic - Takasago Army
Oriental Extreme metal.
17.
13.
Falloch - Where Distant Spirits Remain
Folk-Metalgaze. Nicely weaved atmosphere
17.
14.
Insomnium - One For Sorrow
Disappointed.. Undeniably good, but doesn't grab hold. Production a bit muddy.
17.
15.
Korn - The Path Of Totality
This may seem like a joke. My first Korn listen in ten years. Well-produced and cathcy.
17.
16.
Threat Signal - Threat Signal
A good step up from the whimpy Vigilance
17.
17.
Bjørk - Biophilia
Very diverse, from genious to mad, but at worst interesting
