Damn, I forgot Bowie's Blackstar was released this year. That was easily the best album of the year.

Delain - Moonbathers
Sinbreed - Master Creator
Aaron Lewis - Sinner
Still a few more to come out that could be great.

In no particular order:
Avenged Sevenfold - The Stage
Alter Bridge - The Last Hero
Twelve Foot Ninja - Outlier
Haken - Affinity
Black Crown Initiate - Selves We Cannot Forgive
Obscura - Akroasis
Fleshgod Apocalypse - King
Megadeth - Dystopia
Testament - Brotherhood of the Snake
Killswitch Engage
I know I'm forgetting some stuff, but this is some of the records I've enjoyed most this year. A7X is my biggest contender for AoTY at this point.

Just thought of a few more:
Tremonti - Dust
Katatonia - The Fall of Hearts
Meshiaak - Alliance if Theives
Witherscape - The Northern Sanctuary
Death Angel - The Evil Divide
Be'Lakor - Vessels
Devin Townsend - Transcendence
Insomnium - Winter's Gate (Also an AoTY contender, dunno how I forgot it)
Allegeon - Proponent for Sentience
Opeth - Sorceress
This year had been incredibly good for new releases. I think I've obtained, in one way or another, around 90 new albums this year and there have been very few that O didn't care for.

I agree with a few listed here but Swans - The Glowing Man also definitely needs a mention.

Listened to BLACKSTAR last weekend after a big rest and yes, has to be right up there as Best Release for 2016.
Still gelling with the Sorceress album.
Has not grabbed me the same way the last 2 Opeth albums did.
Anthrax - For All Kings is a great album from them. Haven't really put it away since I bought it.
Jake Bugg - On My One. Saw him live this year too, amazing talent.

Top 5:
Insomnium - Winter's Gate (already AoTY for me, no contest really)
Astronoid - Air
Be'lakor - Vessels
Oddland - Origin
Embreach - The World that We Have Lost
Dark Tranquillity's new album is pretty good as well, solid year for melodeath. Transcendence likewise. I also recommend checking out that Astronoid record if you want a bit of a metal curveball.

Meshuggah - The Violent Sleep Of Reason
Devin Townsend Project - Transendence
The Jezabels - Synthia
Frank Ocean - Blond
Gojira - Magma
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Nonagon Infinity
Massive Attak - Ritual Spirit (EP)
Skeleton Tree and Blackstar still need more listens to fully sink in, they're pretty dense and I have to be in the right mood so I haven't listened to them much, same with Radiohead's new one. Sorceress I haven't really listened to it in full, the couple songs I listened didn't do anything for me though, which is weird since I'm a fan of their last 2 albums. Need to check out Chelsea Wolfe and Russian Circles though, they'll most likely make my list.
Edit: Oh shit, forgot Vektor, fkin monster album for sure.

You really should. It has the same " thing" with Hardwired. The more you listen to it, the better it gets. There are a few song where it's superior to "The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here". DuVall had much more freedom here and stepped as the lead vocalist nicely. Where as in AIC it sort of feels like a harmonic battle between him & Cantrell. Not that their harmonized vocals aren't fucking great but he doesn't have a leading role on vocals like in this one. Anyway, it's a really solid hard rock effort. |
