2.Beyond Creation - The Aura

3.Benighted - Asylum Cave

4.Fleshgod Apocalypse - Agony

5.Obscura - Omnivium

4.Saille - Irreversible Decay

5.Hell - Human Remains

Purely subjective list based on personal preferences for the year, unrelated to mass opinion of an album or a band's abilities (e.g. Trivium, Oranssi Pazuzu) - many albums lined up to listen to so…

1.Sylosis - Edge Of The Earth

2.Protest The Hero - Scurrilous

3.Infestus - E x I s t

4.Amorphis - The Beginning Of Times

5.Ouroboros - Glorification Of A Myth

3.MyGrain - MyGrain

4.Constantine - Divine Design
