| Top 25 Albums Of The Year (for Me) |
| 25 | | Bury Tommorow
The of Crowns
Another guilty pleasure, this is what metalcore needs to become or evolve into. |
| 24 | | Barren Earth
The Devil's Resolve
Just listened to it as I was writing this. Awesome surprise that I found a couple months back. |
| 23 |  | Glass Cloud
The Royal Thousand
More of a guilty pleasure that harkens back to my metalcore phase. |
| 22 |  | Cancer Bats
Dead Set on Living
Album that makes me want to break things, love it. |
| 21 | | Skyharbor
Blinding White Noise: Illusion and Chaos
This band has major talent and needs to tour in America! Awesome work from all involved, including the vocalists. |
| 20 |  | Anathema
Weather Systems
Album that relaxes me on days that are sunny and laid back. Awesome album. |
| 19 |  | Dethklok
Dethalbum III
Took me until this year to give Dethklok an actual chance, and got their previous albums because of this. |
| 18 |  | The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza
Danza IIII: The Alpha - The Omega
Album also burst my ear drum, mixing is weird but overall great. |
| 17 |  | Abiotic
Symbiosis
Album that i got on a whim and burst my ear drum, this album is brutal. |
| 16 |  | Coheed and Cambria
The Afterman: Ascension
My favorite Coheed record besides From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness, really good. Saw them a month back and was
impressed. |
| 15 |  | Enslaved
RIITIIR
Album that deserves multiple listens and much respect. |
| 14 |  | The HAARP Machine
Disclosure
Looked forward to this release for a while, short (for me) but still wanting more. |
| 13 |  | Karybdis
From The Depths
Thank you Metal Hammer for introducing me to an awesome band that deserves much more recognition. |
| 12 |  | Twelve Foot Ninja
Silent Machine
Obviously number 12 but the album is that good. |
| 11 |  | Wintersun
Time I
Album that should be played for a movie soundtrack. Epic! |
| 10 | | Diablo Swing Orchestra
Pandora's Pinata
Good god almighty this album has everything that I enjoy. If you enjoy genres outside of metal look into this, but it is slightly on
the crazy side. Really good crazy side. |
| 9 |  | Ne Obliviscaris
Portal of I
Masterpiece that blew me away at first listen. |
| 8 |  | Woods of Ypres
Woods V: Grey Skies & Electric Light
I listen to this when I am to chipper. |
| 7 |  | Sylosis
Monolith
Took a few listens but this album grew on me so much. |
| 6 |  | Kamelot
Silverthorn
Having enjoyed Kamelot only for a couple of years, and hearing of Roy's departure from the band, with Tommy from Seventh
Wonder,as the replacement intrigued me. I looked into the discography of Seventh Wonder and enjoyed every second, this is
not a completely new Kamelot but one that doesn't disappoint at all. |
| 5 |  | The Faceless
Autotheism
Having enjoyed the previous two albums by The Faceless. This one threw me for a loop, but took me a journey that I loved and
didn't expect. |
| 4 |  | Katatonia
Dead End Kings
This album is best for me in the winter months, as they are long and slightly dull. This album pulls me out of that. |
| 3 |  | Art By Numbers
Reticence: The Musical
This album came out of nowhere and has easily made my day quite a few times. This album brings enjoyment each and every
listen, it has also helped open my mind to classical music. |
| 2 | | Periphery
Periphery II: This Time It's Personal
I really enjoyed Periphery's debut album but this one blew me away. To all the haters on Spencer, open your mind or don't
speak. |
| 1 |  | Between The Buried and Me
The Parallax II: Future Sequence
Between the Buried and Me continue on their path, adding another masterpiece to their arsenal. My personal favorite. |
