| Top 5 albums of 2016
5 albums i really enjoyed of what many consider a pretty shit year, all the songs are incredible. | | 1 |  | King 810
La Petite Mort or a Conversation With God
I thought I knew what heavy meant, but this group certainly changed it.
The instrumentation, whilst incredible, serves to emphasise David's vocals, telling stories of growing up in Flint, Michigan, which feels too visceral and graphic to just be played up to sound manly.
Favourite songs:
Heavy Lies the Crown
Wolves Run Together
The Trauma Model | | 2 |  | Vulvodynia
Psychosadistic Design
This is, in my opinion, the south African slammers best album yet, the amazing production, the guest spots, the music itself is incredible.
My only dislike is the sample in the title track, I feel it goes on too long, leaving a song half the length it should be.
Id like to see the following guests on the next album (which they are currently writing!):
Dan Watson
Ben Duerr
Dickie Allen
The guy from Signs of the Swarm whose name Ive forgotten
Favourite songs:
Title Track
Flesh Tailor
Unparalleled Insubordination | | 3 |  | Sabaton
The Last Stand
Anthemic, triumphant, epic, tanks. Just a few words to describe Sabaton and this album, 11 original songs, 2 covers, plus pretty cool guest appearances by Jon Schaffer (Iced Earth, on the interlude Diary of an Unknown Soldier) and Rob Halford (Judas Priest, on their cover of All Guns Blazing)
Favourite songs:
Sparta
Blood of Bannockburn
Winged Hussars | | 4 |  | Shadow of Intent
Primordial
I like Deathcore, I like Halo.
Shadow of Intent is a dream come true.
Primordial is 10 songs of heavy, yet really grandiose and epic deathcore, yet features such melody and technicality that I feel deathcore isn't the right label, more along the lines of Death Metal, with some melodeath and a bit of black metal influence
Favourite songs:
The Cosmic Inquisitor
The Didacts Will
The Prelude to Bereavement | | 5 |  | Testament
Brotherhood of the Snake
Thrash legends deliver a solid release, with really interesting lyrical themes and brilliant production
Favourite tracks:
The Pale King
Stronghold | |
Papa Universe

09.16.17 | 2016 was a superb year for music but I never checked any of these | BlackwaterPork
09.16.17 | These are far from being the best of 2016 | John7
09.16.17 | Well everyone has their own opinion, and yours differs from mine which I have no problem with of course, feel free to post your own | Snake.

09.16.17 | *sighs audibly* | John7
09.16.17 | You don't contribute shit, mate. I swear you have some kind of vendetta against me. I don't know why you bother, you hate my reviews, you hate my lists, so why bother? | bgillesp
09.16.17 | Snake hates everybody. Hates every list. Hates all music. Such is the way of the world | John7
09.16.17 | Well I'm glad to know I'm not the only one | BlackwaterPork
09.16.17 | Speaking of which, are you planning on doing another review anytime soon? | Satellite
09.16.17 | guys be nice | Snake.
09.16.17 | "Snake hates everybody. Hates every list. Hates all music."
yup, don't take it personally hun | TheSonomaDude
09.16.17 | it's true actually | John7
09.16.17 | I enjoyed Fall of Hearts, but it wasn't a highlight of that year for me. Its still a solid album by a great band | BlackwaterPork
09.16.17 | Yep fall of hearts should be on here
Also it's blasphemous that shrines of paralysis isn't here | John7
09.17.17 | Again, MY list. Its not an in general list, its MY. PERSONAL. FAVOURITES. But to satisfy those who don't get the concept of a personal opinion, here is a list of 5 honourable mentions (IN MY OPINION):
Katatonia - Fall of Hearts
Running Wild - Rapid Foray
Death Angel - The Evil Divide
Amon Amarth - Jomsviking
Darkthrone - Arctic Thunder | BlackwaterPork
09.17.17 | Have you heard Ulcerate? |
