Favorite metal releases from 2017

Created by: 3rdWorld | 22.04.2017


1. Hell (USA) - Hell - Sludge/Doom // USA // Sentient Ruin Laboratories/LowerYourHead
2. Ascended Dead - Abhorrent Manifestation
Death // USA // Invictus Productions
3. Phrenelith - Desolate Endscape
Death // Denmark // Dark Descent Records
4. Suffering Hour - In Passing Ascension
Death // USA // Blood Harvest
5. Godflesh - Post Self
Industrial // UK // Avalance Recordings
6. Rude - Remnants...
Death // USA // F.D.A.Rekotz // Californian death metal quadruplet Rude does nothing new in their sophomore record but what they do, they do it exceptionally well and in just about 40 minutes combines everything good about death metal. Mind you this is not osdm with doom or thrash leanings, just pure unadulterated death with clearly retro aesthetics but packaged for 2017. And the fact that it has artwork by the legendary Dan Seagrave furthers adds to the monumental aspect of this release.
7. Vinnum Sabbathi - Gravity Works
Psychedelic/Space Stoner // Mexico // SDR Records // Simply put, this is Oranssi Pazuzu gone stoner. As good as you can imagine it will be.
8. Fuoco Fatuo - Backwater
Doom // Italy // Profound Lore Records // "Impenetrable black magma" that sums it up perfectly.
9. The Ominous Circle - Appalling Ascension
Death // Portugal // Osmose Productions
10. Friendship - I&II
Powerviolence/Grind // USA // Sentient Ruin Laboratories // Totally barbaric and dissonant motherfucker of a record from these insanely obscure Japanese band. Good enough to be put here despite being a compilation of two earlier EP's which God-only-knows when it got released.
11. Sloth Herder - No Pity, No Sunrise
Blackened Doom/Grind // USA // Grimoire Records
12. The Vomiting Dinosaurs - Exoplanets
Grind // USA // Grimoire Records
