Deathcore had an off year in my opinion but at the same time I think last year was that genres best in many years. Technical death metal did also have a fantastic year and I even had to leave out albums from Arsis, Revocation, Psycroptic, Inferi and Alkaloid due to this year having so much great tech-death it wasn’t easy to pick. So lets recap the year!ĭuring the few years I’ve been running The Metal Gamer this has been the best year for death metal with veterans like Monstrosity, Unleashed and At the Gates as well as younger blood such as Corpsessed and Lik putting out killer releases. One thing worth noting is that to be eligible for this list the album needs to be a new full-length release, so no EP’s nor re-releases. There will also be a best of list coming from Kristian Person, my partner in crime since a couple months back driving The Metal Gamer forward. I have linked the reviews, if there is any, on the album titles.
Obviously this list is personal and I am sure to have missed out on an album or two during the year (some of them I mention in my “five albums I missed” section). This way you get more of a read on what I enjoyed the most instead of just a long list. Here we are, another year is coming to an end and what a year it has been! I got married to my wonderful supporting wife, turned 30, started supporting events in my hometown to help the local scene while we had a lot of awesome games and albums released too! New for this year is that I am doing a top 50 instead of top 40, now with a top 5 in order then I split the other 45 albums into two tiers (in no order).
