| 1 |  | Artificial Brain
Artificial Brain
Progressive and complex death metal which plays tricks with your mind. Outstanding release. |
| 2 |  | Immolation
Acts of God
An epic album of the death metal gods and probably (time will tell) one of their best. No words needed. |
| 3 |  | Pestilength
Basom Gryphos
Totally underrated record. This is fine and twisted death metal but production is a little bit too melty. |
| 4 |  | Astral Tomb
Soulgazer
The most interesting death metal record of the year. Astral Tomb execute their metal in an experimental, psychedelic and overall very wild-loosy way. Production is super raw which is not for everybody. |
| 5 |  | Wake
Thought Form Descent
Epic wall of sound death metal. It is more focused than its precedessor which should be a thing for a lot of listeners. |
| 6 |  | Scalpture
Feldwärts
Awesome german death metal with a lot of old school in it. The theme of the album is strictly WWI which is not my preferred theme in music but Scalpture did it in a decent way. |
| 7 |  | Faceless Burial
At The Foothills Of Deliration
Progressive death metal masterpiece. You have to think of late Death here. |
| 8 |  | Altars (AUS)
Ascetic Reflection
Technical and often dissonant metal which has to grow on you. But this is high quality stuff. |
| 9 |  | Cryptae
Capsule
Sick and raw death metal which is sounding like nothing else in this genre. |
| 10 |  | Undeath
It's Time...To Rise From the Grave
Overrated? Maybe. But if you want your death metal as a light and fun served entertainment, this record does it in the best way. |
