Decibel just posted their top 40. No major surprises as it was always gonna come down to those two!

[Skott Furys jizz rag]

Oranssi Pazuzu at 38? Madness, AOTY for me

[The Heretic]

The only one I own is Invincible Shield, fuck me how times have changed...

[Sworntothecans]

Crypt Sermon record is excellent. Was surprised at Gatecreeper's lastest being rated so high. It's decent but kinda boring and I didn't go back to it.

[Paul keohane]

I've heard about 6 albums on that list.

Yeah that Gatecreeper album did nothing for me.

I've said it before and I'll say it again this song would ruin any album:

Absolute dogshit.

Adversarial, Mitochondrion and Wrathprayer are top 3 at the moment. BI is obviously good as well.

[Thorn]

How can they be putting out end of year lists when (like them or not )there's a major player like Opeth to come. Ridiculously premature.
Oh hang on, they have it, must be out over there.
Still, leave it to December at least.
Crypt Sermon won't even be in my Top Twenty. Clearly they're the darlings of the U.S.

[astfgyl]

I've heard two of the albums on that list. I guess I'm just out of the loop

[Carnage]

Same: Judas Priest and Blood Incantation.

Looking through what I bought this year and overall not a great year but not the worst either. No major standout albums Best for me has been Akhlys, Inquisition, 3 new Reverorum Ib Malachts, Triumph Genus, Horna, Sabbat, Crucifier and Death Like Mass.

Blood Incantation is good but in my opinion it's the most overrated DM album since the Wrathprayer debut. 

I still need to checkout the new Wrathprayer, Paysage, Blackdeath and Barathrum. I would be surprised if the Blackdeath and Paysage LPs don't end up on my end of year list.

[ochoill]

Must go through that list and catch up on a few.  Also must see what I listened to this year that was actually released this year

[The Great Cull]

Couch Slut 
Is that a slut that spends ages riding people on a couch or someone who sleeps on lots of couches but never settles on one?

[Snare]

Wasn't sold on Glacial Tomb, Anciients, Chat Pile or The Black Dahlia. I was very disappointed with Necrot.

Gatecreeper was just a disposable album written by Fred Estby so very strange and worthless in my view. That's a Stock Aiken and Waterman approach in getting someone else to write all your music and is devoid of artistic merit.

Well into Dödsrit, Terminal Nation, and Tribulation, while Ripped to Shreds floats my boat as usual and even exceeded what they've done previously so delighted with that.

I need to properly check out the Blood Incantation, Deceased, Undeath, Ulcerate and Oxygen Destroyer albums actually. 200 Stab Wounds new stuff was class live in Limerick so I need to check that out also.

Not on that list...
Replicant would be one of my favourites. It came out the same day as Necrot and absolutely blew it away so I never really bothered with my Necrot purchase after that. 
Skeletal Remains, Iotunn, Officium Triste and Sorgelig would be in there for me. 
Really enjoyed Necrophobic and Nile.
I never got around to revisiting Unto Others after hearing the early singles and not being overly impressed - maybe I need to revisit it.
Kanonenfieber would be up there.
New Veilburner and Kreulty on the way and they're always up my street. Early Veilburner tracks are sick.

Been some amazing stuff for me so far this year.
