Back To Where You've Never Been (2013)
It was a long 7 months of ups and downs, goods and mediocres, but I finally have a metal album of the year. Heavy, melodic, varied, and just plain catchy with an appropriate run time. Definitely don't let this one slip by.
Also it has the jackhammer seal of approval as well.
