ok top 5 would look something like..
1. Want by Wreck and Reference (if one dares call an electronic album to be "metal" - I do. likely my aoty as well. I know youre familiar with them so you may have already heard this one.
2. Thirty Five Thoughts to Nineteen Elements by Wheels Within Wheels - I first heard of them through a split EP they did with Panopticon and thought they were pretty cool. But this is some next level **** and beats out Road to the North for the best Kentucky black metal album of the year. It's like blackgaze with balls maybe. Noisy and mechanical. Idk its just great.
3. Heathen by Thou love the vocals and I think that's a big reason for my love of this. doom is alive and well.
4. Alunar by Aureole "alien black metal" if there were such a thing
5. The Flesh Prevails by Fallujah takes everything disgusting that is death metal and mixes it with beauty. been one that ive been listening to a lot this month.
yeah subject to changes obvs but I think that's pretty accurate a list
