What are Sup Forums's favorite metal albums of 2016? No particular order and any and all subgenres welcomed. Pic related, definitely near the top of my list. With Dillinger calling it quits I'm looking to Car Bomb and Frontierer to keep that chaotic sound alive.
I'll post a few of my personal standouts from this year to get started.

Also obviously

this fucking album. I don't care that it came out at the end of 2015 desu, i've been playing it all year
Best
This
Really? Honest question. I liked P2 so so SO much better, and their earlier stuff even moreso. I didn't HATE P3 but I certainly found it forgettable, and not among my favorites this year.
Well i thought it had more memorable Tracks than P2. And I think it is one of their best Albums next to Juggernaut Alpha
We've got a whole year to get them a Grammy for packaging
>djent
>metal
Gojira - Magma
Avenged Sevenfold - The Stage (hater's gonna hate)
Hail Spirit Noir - Mayhem in Blue
Decibel magazine list is pretty good this year.
Khemmis got aoty
the best. especially Meta jesus fucking christ
...
This got 3 on decibel and their 2 was an ep nails. So their top 2 albums were both from Denver
Coincidence? Was it like 2 super bowls ago that it was Denver and Seattle?
May i ask the name of the album?
Varahtelijah was my favourite memetal album this year tbqh
Dude xylophones lmao
Pedsectioned
Fair enough. It did have some pretty stellar songwriting. Still have Marigold in rotation if nothing else.
Um...no, not at all that...
It's "Orange Mathematics" by Frontierer. Some balls to the wall mathcore for dat ass.
Jute Gyte - Perdurance jutegyte.bandcamp.com
What's this?
>subgenres
Orange Mathematics by Frontierer
cheers
Np user let us know what you think.
I've never heard guitars chug quite so chuggily. It's very precise performance/production, all things considered. Just wish the vocalist sounded a little less like a pussy.
Best part's the cover ;)
Yeah i agree, i like it for the chaos. Only their second release so they have room to grow. That said, the album in OP is also a second release and its fucking god tier. Car Bomb has a bright future.
Dude seriously. I was so pleasantly surprised when i got the cd in the mail, they provided a really strong package. The punchout guitar picks were a nice touch lol although a bit thin for me personally.
Anaon Meta shook me to the core. Like i was so pleasantly surprised by it. I love everything Car Bomb stands for sonically.
Apparently i say "pleasantly surprised" a lot, but both instances are accurate
...

It was pretty good, but for being "one long songs" there are clear points where they didn't know how to transition.
It's return to form I guess but don't really see why everyone is losing their mind's over it
I mostly agree with this user
There's some unabashedly excellent metal there, though.
Probably need to go back to it
Im just really sick of melodeath lately
not even a competition
I think i formatted my response pretty shitty in
It feels overhyped to me like you (i assume that's you) were saying, but on the other hand theres some legitimate greatness there as well. Its not perfection but it's a pretty great release among a year of great music.
Slight side note: i feel like 2016 has been shit for everything BUT music, especially as an American where politics have ruled everything. Lots of top tunes coming out this year and I'm happy to remember 2016 for that.
/thread
thanks for making me look like a samefag asshole
>guy who posted the album here
Yeah I love this album just because it's a different direction for them, plus the song's fuckin amazing. Their production quality never ceases to amaze me.
OP here, thank you for this. Exactly why i made this thread, to find the gems i missed. Skipping around here and there and this album is just everything.
jesus fucking christ, dillenger escape plan, animals as leaders and periphery? why the fuck did I ever go into a Sup Forums metal thread.
>someone's a tad upset
good dubs
Did you read the whole thread or just come up with the edgiest, dumbest response you could and ran with it? Fuck off tasteless titsucker
This and these
Its all taste. Post music, stop bitching like a kid throwing a tantrum because people like other music.
shit I keep forgetting to listen to this fully, I remember it having some sick riffs
...
As much as I really wanted to love that album, I found the riffs to get kinda repetitive around the second half
now that's some good shit
It's a great album but it gets boring really fast
Better than Koloss, worse than obZen
Better than the Joy of Motion, on par with weightless, stop the thumping gimmick already tho
lel
Bretty good album
Metal AOTY, easily
anything but this is wrong
...
Post yours then and actually contribute.
I actually liked these a lot
AOTY
it actually isn't, it's their third album
but neverthless it's very good
...
...
garbage
RapeEveryone's compilation album, to be completely fucking honest.
Not even a contest for me. I waited a long time for this album, and even though it wasn't finished, it's everything I hoped for.
Moon Tooth, Dillinger, First Fragment, DGD and Thank You Scientist are some other honorable mentions.
Go back to /rMetal, then.
I would suck dick to find a physical cd copy of this. I'm not paying £60 that eBay sellers want
One of my favorite this year.
I know it's basically Hell Awaits 2.0, but it's the best Hell Awaits 2.0 I've ever heard.
nothing beats this for me
youtube.com
there aren't cd copies.
you can get the vinyl on his store or eroding winds
mizmor.virb.com
Thanks /nbbmn/, this is was a super cool one. High-energy and good production, best new black metal I've heard in a long time.
Also really enjoyed the new Oathbreaker, even if it did feel like it was hounding Deafheaven at points. Great vocals.
It's a shame, I actually enjoyed the music on this but the mastering is abominable, hurts to listen to
Absolutely ebin
Also Sumerlands
one of the best things i've heard all year
kids still listen to metal in 2016?
...
The Well - Pagan Science
Metal is the only rock genre still worth listening to
...
...
Messa - Belfry
metal album of the year by far, very far
Mammoth Weed Wizard Bastard
underrated post
...
halfway through the first track right now. how the fuck did I not listen to this sooner?
>Mammoth Weed Wizard Bastard
God what a cringeworthy name
...
It's very tongue in cheek, but they make some good, heavy stoner metal.
I liked it
This album was boring as fuck
I really liked this, possibly their best
This album sucked, and I really liked Juggernaut
holy fuck I forgot about this one
is this -core tho? that's the only thing that kept me from it
Loved these, pic related or the new Moonspurdo is my metal AOTY
Right now, Bethlehem.
Meta was great as well.
Not the best album of the year, but man is it great to see Darkthrone returning to their roots. Burial Fields was my favorite track.
