I think it's been a pretty disappointing year in metal (or maybe I've just been listening to too much synthwave to be discovering anything new in metal), but the end of the year might just make up for it. Looking forward to the new Deathspell Omega.
My favorite metal-related releases so far this year: Oranssi Pazuzu, Atomikylä, Aluk Todolo, Howls of Ebb, Terra Tenebrosa, Valborg and Virus. Probably in that order.
Looks like I'll be having some "trouble" at the end of this month though. A new 10-song EP by Those Poor Bastards entitled "Necrosphere" coming out on Oct 25, even though they released an album just 7 months ago now. I guess I will have some tied AOTYs, not that I'm complaining. Good to be a huge fan of a band that releases so often while remaining consistent with quality or even improving on it.
New Hail Spirit Noir Oct 28, and on the same day Tommy '86's "Transhumanism". Really excited for those!
