Album(s) of the year

Necrot-Mortal

Fire away lads.

[Anton Arcane]

Three standouts for me are

Thou and Emma Ruth Rundle - May Our Chambers Be Full

Napalm Death - Throes Of Joy In The Jaws Of Defeatism

Urfaust - Teufelsgeist

[Floss]

I think the Napalm Death is stunning. I was never really a fan, but I cant stop listening to it.... probably album of the year for me...

The Blood Incantation (Hidden History) i know is 2019 but it hasnt left my ears this entire year.

Paradise Lost's Obsidian got a lot of listens too...

the new AC/DC is their best output in many years....

[Don Gately]

Napalm Death and Ulcerate for me

[pete]

SUMAC and Deftones for me.

[Blizzard Beast]

Katatonia City Burials.

[Thorn]

Necrot-Mortal

The album has everything,amazing old school DM.



Fire away lads.

It was one of your comments that put me on to that Necrot actually and it is a good one though at the moment I'd be looking toward Napalm Death myself. Skeletal Remains and Cirith Ungol released a couple  of bangers as well.

[Nazgûl]

Sweven - The Eternal Resonance

Had seen this band name a couple of times on the board, always thought "Hmm, coincidence a band named the same as the Morbus Chron album...wonder by chance if they sound alike?"

Hadn't a clue until now it was a follow on band from MC. Have the album on, sounds deadly! Chuffed with this find.

[Nazgûl]

...love the artwork too!

[keeper of kalessin]

yes the sweven album is certainly a high point of the year, great stuff.

[Snare]

I was wondering when this thread would kick off. I always think it's too early to call AOTY, some bhaists released every December that get lost in the lists, e.g. Reaper "Unholy Nordic Noise" on 23 December last, and Sulphur Aeon on 21 December 2018. Plus I often end up discovering albums late. Anyway...

Bezwering is my fave so far:

Never heard of this Dutch act until I randomly came across them on bandcamp. Apparently it's black metal but that doesn't do it justice.  Monster production and pounding, varied tunes, love it. I must check out their previous incarnation yet.

Havukruunu and Ripped to Shreds aren't far behind:

https://rippedtoshredsdeathmetal.bandcamp.com/album/luan

Really liked Cauldron Black Ram and Skeleton as well.

Ulcerate have been on the wishlist, must check out Napalm Death yet though. I didn't realise Skeletal Remains had a new one so I must check that out as well, nice one for the heads up.

I had pre-ordered Necrot but due to CD player issues since I haven't really listened to it properly yet. The advance tracks didn't seem as good as the previous but it just might need the time to soak in.
