Honorable Mentions:
KEN Mode - Entrench (Kill Everyone Now indeed)
Persekutor - Power Frost/The Twitching Hour (Only 2 songs but rules. Hard)
20. Fister - Violence (This band wouldn't hesitate kicking your ass and stealing your girlfriend)
19. Gorguts - Colored Sands (Crushing. Well worth the wait)
18. Obliteration - Black Death Horizon (Norwegian Death! One of the best 'fast' albums I've heard this year. Side B > Side A)
17. Deafheaven - Sunbather (I'm a fan of bands taking something out of the norm. These guys have caused quite an uproar)
16. Phil Anselmo & The Illegals - Walk Through Exits Only (Why wouldn't he make my year end list?)
15. ASG - Blood Drive (Feel good hits of the summer)
14. Man's Gin - Rebellion Hymns (Erik Wunder is a genius)
13. Inter Arma - Sky Burial (Derek said it best "black metal with Pink Floyd interludes" or something like that)
12. Trees - Sickness In (Aural equivalent to a tree growing, in the best way of course. A nasty, awful tree that probably hates you)
11. Lycus - The Tempest (And you thought their demo was good...)
10. Lumbar - First And Last Days Of Unwelcome (Well worth the hype and then some)
9. The Body - Christs, Redeemers/Master, We Perish (Sick & disgusting)
8. Ash Borer - Bloodlands (Sit back and ponder some shit)
7. Fell Voices - Regnum Saturni (Now ponder the shit that you just pondered)
6. Tomahawk - Oddfellows (Better than most Faith No More albums)
5. Locrian - Return To Annihilation (Synthed out drone/doom/weirdness at its finest)
4. Merkstave - s/t (Best new band I've never heard of before. Blown away)
3. SubRosa - More Constant Than The Gods (Elegant & crushing)
2. Queens Of The Stone Age - ...Like Clockwork (A Josh Homme classic album. Some of the best songs he's written)
1. True Widow - Circumambulation (I'll be listening to this band when I get old. Like, real old)
