Taken around 8:30 pm GMT
There was no write-in for djent so I voted for one.
Not totally clean (trolls in last categories are kept for fun),
Thanks to the person who curated most of the write-is since yesterday, it really reduced the work to do!

PS : I cleaned the list listening to The Testament by Seventh Wonder, so I was particularly unhappy to see it in the biggest letdowns at the end

Shieeet, here we go again...
Best death metal AD 2022 according to myself, listed alphabetically by band name with subgenres. Some notable omissions include: Amon Amarth, Behemoth, Decapitated, Fallujah, Lorna Shore, Omophagia, Paganizer and Temple Of Void. These left me a bit disappointed so I chose not to include them on the list proper, even though I enjoyed all the bands' newest albums. I'm also still catching up on a lot of records so this list will be updated semi-regularly. Hopefully you will find something you haven't heard here. Feel free to recommend stuff in the comments. Enjoy!

Oh and as a side note, none of the genre descriptors are meant as derogative, I obviously enjoy all these bands and albums. Caverncore (or cavernous death) for example is meant as familiar in sound/style to a band like Cruciamentum or Chthe'ilist.

1.Abysmal Dawn - Nightmare Frontier

2.Acephalix - Theothanatology

3.Aeternam - Heir Of The Rising Sun

4.Aethereus - Leiden

5.Allegaeon - Damnum

stingy year of albums for me. Not the best year too, but in unluck i'm still here alive.

and i'm deeply sad that Bandcamp has been acquired by Epic Games, only for the purpose to going against Google. Damn my eye if i hate so much when greedy and shitty big tech company not respectful of privacy (both of them) ruins healty tech company that gives the right to artists (expecially indipendent ones) and customers. Well, time to buy on Bandcamp only on bandcamp friday.
