That Mourning Dawn release has potential. A little "slow" sometimes - I am not a big fan of that kind of doom - now I have to listen to disc 2...enormous album.
Also, I didn't like that Warknife album so much. Like you said, the vocals are the big turnoff. Keep the recs coming.

Yep, Twilight Cinema is amazing, and certainly one of the best albums I have heard this year. Thanks for taking the time to type a message.

Alright, here's my first shot: Mourning Dawn - Les Sacrifiés
This album is a beast. I've been trying to give it a few full, thorough listens through before evaluating it, a task that will be easier to achieve now that school is done. I've been rating things that are easy to evaluate for a little while, so I just thought I'd justify why it's not on the list yet.
Any more recommendations?

I do believe that once again, we will be in huge disagreement about album of the year. Maybe it's not that bad, but once you mention 3 of the most respected extreme metal bands, deathspell omega, esoteric and gorguts as similar to something, you set the expectation level pretty high.
It's like calling your son Jesus.

In retrospect, Esoteric was probably a stretch but I do definitely hear some Gorguts and Deathspell in there. I only meant to imply that they were clear influences in the music, which is predominantly Fen-like. Indeed, the album has been getting some acclaim in the underground and for good reason- after a few listens, I can honestly say I enjoy this album a little more than Fen's work (and I'm a Fen fanboy).

I like that there's a lot of non-MS stuff on here. Listening to Taurus right now and it sounds promising so far.

Another one I stole from Joe. Thanks, though.

Oh yeah, and if you get the chance, you should check out Smallman's Envision album. I highly doubt it'll end up making your list, but it's probably my favourite alternative metal album released this year and an album I feel more people should know about!

I don't know man, it actually might, that first song on bandcamp was really good :p I'll listen to the full thing when I get the chance.
(just FYI, I don't dislike alternative metal, I just haven't explored a lot of it besides Faith No More )

Yeah, alternative metal is an odd little genre. It's been a pretty shitty year for alt metal if I had to be honest, although the new Rishloo might make up for it still. In 2013, it was pretty much all I was listening to. I have a soft spot for it even if many of the genre's largest stars produce albums in which only 75% of the songs are truly great. I really like the way Smallman incorporate the bagpipe at times, and the vocalist (while not unique) manages to bring me back for repeated listens.

This, I think, would be up your alley. Awesome, unconventional post-metal/post-hardcore for the win.

As We Draw was fucking massive. Downloading Lines Breaking Circles now.
As for Fjort, the first track was also pretty sweet. I will download that one as well!

I found Lines Breaking Circles less interesting and too similar to the big names in post-metal they must be taking their inspiration from. But it's still a nice album, I love the sudden screamo moments. Although I wouldn't mind hearing a remaster of it in the future, if they ever make one.
By the way they did a 3-way split with Euglena and Hexis. Worth checking out, especially for Euglena. Hexis, you must already know them by now.
What did you think of FJØRT?

Have you heard Dust Sculptures-Far Above The Pines ? Combining post metal, black metal and progressive rock, It strikes me as something you'd like.
I have definitely heard Dust Sculptures before. Did they release something last year as well?

I have only recently got familiar with this band. Apparently, he had also released another album named Nostalgia in 2013.

Yeah I recall listening to them (and funny enough, it was on my 2013 list). I'll give it a gander! Thanks, dude.

I think this fits the bill perfectly for you. Top notch progressive not unlike In The Silence, with a hint of dreary atmospherics ala Ghost Brigade.

Ooh thanks for the recommendation, yo. When I'm done with last-minute school stuff, I'll check it out. I also have to check out Ghost Brigade's newest, seeing as most people have rated it a 9.

Peanut butter burgers are decent- would rank them as a 9 using the Metal Storm ranking system! It's an odd flavour because the peanut butter, typically a dominant sort of flavour in sandwiches, is reduced to being more subtle. It's a little bit messy because the peanut butter coagulates into goo as soon as it is exposed to the warm patty, but it is considered a local delicacy where I'm from. Just don't put too much on the top bun when you first try it.

I don't know of anywhere locally that would do such a thing, but I might consider trying that in my home. I will use your list picture as a guide
