I only have five 2017 albums so far (ordered the Helion Prime but for some reason it hasn't shipped to me...haven't gotten charged until it does).
I have the Pain Of Salvation, Witherfall, MindMaze, Pyramaze, and Seven Kingdoms. I like all of them, but the MindMaze is my favorite so far. Killer album, MindMaze certainly topped their 2014's Back From The Edge.

Finally at 30 albums reviewed as of today though three of them are currently sitting in draft so I can stagger posting them over the next few days. Had a really productive reviewing day today with five written.
Here's my 30 reviewed albums. * = review waiting to be posted.

I have listened to very few 2017 albums, compared to new albums the previous years. Just don´t have as much time to review new releases these days. Thankfully I have a shitload of backlog reviews, so I won´t dry out any time soon. At least not when it comes to old releases.

I've been sort of keeping track of all the releases for this year that I've heard in a private RYM list, but I'm pretty bad at keeping it up to date. I'll try to get it sorted by the time of the next album of the year vote.

This is mine grouped by star ratings, some of them are only a first impression though:
5* Ayreon - The Source Fen - Winter Locust Leaves - A Subtler Kind of Light (I might put this down to 4.5 because even though I love it, it sounds like half an album to me) MindMaze - Resolve Pure Wrath - Ascetic Eventide Ungfell - Tôtbringære Vandroya - Beyond the Human Mind 4.5* Atlas Pain - What the Oak Left Baltimor - Eepos Bathsheba - Servus Cnoc An Tursa - The Forty-Five Grave Digger - Healed by Metal Mesarthim - Presence Saille - Gnosis Satan's Hallow - Satan's Hallow Seven Kingdoms - Decennium The Doomsday Kingdom - The Doomsday Kingdom Windswept - The Great Cold Steppe Wormwood - Ghostlands: Wounds form a Bleeding Earth Xandria - Theater of Dimensions 4* Au Champ Des Morts - Dans La Joie Crystal Fairy - Crystal Fairy Dool - Here Now, There Then Doom's Day - The Whore Falls of Rauros - Vigilance Perennial Hazy Sea - Electric Abyss Lancer - Mastery Lorn - Arrayed Claws Multishiva - Time Messer Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs - Feed the Rats Sweet Lich - Never Satisifed Todesstoß - Ebne Graun Wiegedood - Do Doden Hebben Het Goed II Wolfchant - Bloodwinter Worthless Life - Conscious in Coma 3.5* Crystal Viper - Queen of the Witches Dumal - The Lesser God Hey Satan - Hey Satan Ritual Haze - Machine Sun Scáth na Déithe - Pledge Nothing But Flesh 3* Pyramaze - Contingent (I found this really generic and boring compared to their last album, it's this year's biggest disappointment for me so far) 2* As Lions - Selfish Age Ghost Bath - Starmourner Edited by 666sharon666 - 24 May 2017 at 4:01am |

I passed 40 reviews for 2017 albums recently, but my total heard is over 100. I need to catch up on actually writing about a few more of them.
Top album is currently oltreLuna by Progenie Terrestre Pura.

Man, I feel so left out...I haven't heard of any of these, w/ say maybe a few exceptions(and even then haven't actually listened to them).

^Obituary's new album is great, as is Xibalba's new EP. Those are my favorite death metal albums of the year so far.

Off the top of my head I think the only 2017 releases I've heard have been Overkill and Body Count. (I like them both just fine, for whatever that's worth.)
I will have to look closer at the other bands/albums mentioned in this thread to see what else is out there that might be up my alley... Edited by keefer1970 - 19 Jul 2017 at 12:04pm |

^The new Overkill album slays, it's my AOTY as of right now (Though Power Trip's Nightmare Logic comes close).

How is the new Wintersun?
None of my local or mall record stores had the cd today, so I had to order it online, should be here next week sometime.

I am really enjoying the new Accept disc... I think it may be their best since Blood Of The Nations.

Immolation - Atonement (pretty good but too hooky for Immolation)
Fen - Winter (listened a little bit, not ready to form an opinion) Dying Fetus - Wrong One to Fuck With (good shit, kicks ass) Cormorant - Diaspora (again, not ready to form an opinion but I love what these guys did in the past) Cloak of Altering - I Reached For The Light That Drowned In Your Mouth (great) That's it when it comes to metal, I listen to a lot of non-metal stuff lately, hence the laughable list. EDIT: Ah, I forgot about Elder - Reflections of a Floating World! Awesome stoner doom with a prog edge to it, recommended. EDIT2: Ah, and Pallbearer - Heartless. Pretty good, not crazy about it. EDIT3: Ah, and of course the new Mastodon - Waste of Time. Yeah, a waste of time. EDIT4: Fuck me if I didn't listen to the new Havok album - Conformicide. Preatty kick ass thrash metal album, but when it comes to the new wave thrash, Vektor still rules.
