There has actually been quite a bit of black metal that's been released this year, I was just curious to know what some of your favorites are? Mine (so far) are:

the new Gris (can't type all of the french letters)
Thy Light - No Morrow Shall Dawn
Terminal Depression - Dysthorium
Watain - The Wild Hunt
Arckanum - Fenris Kindir
Dodsferd - A Cursed Heritage
Neige Eternelle (self-titled)

I find their first two superior, but this is still good.

My fav black metal release so far is Mandragora by Botanist. It's one of the most interesting black metal albums from the decade as it doesnt even have any guitar on the album. Instead he uses a dulcimer along with Inquisition-esque vocals. It's really quite great and a step above his previous releases imo

Also along with some of the previously mentioned albums, Ive really enjoyed:

Das Tor by Paysage D'hiver
Anarchic by Skagos
Cypher by Spektr
Astral Glow by Zgard

Its been a pretty good year for black metal i say

The Akitsa/Ash Pool split was pretty wonderful, "Ne Perdez Jamais Espoir" being my favorite song from that release. (edit) As for biography; Ash Pool involves the talents of Dominick Fernow, of Prurient, Vatican Shadow, & the operator of Hospital records. Akitsa, of course, are the mighty French-Canadian group whose O.T. operates Tour-de-Garde (a fantastic label).
