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

Well right now I'm finishing up a death metal binge, however as soon as that's done I'm certainly gonna be checking out some of these.

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).

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.

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'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.

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.

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 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.

We're taking our time Chris. The priority has been on getting up to speed on the set ready for gigs so haven't done a lot yet. Don't even have a full album of songs yet. They're likely to be completed song by song I suspect but we have some great stuff written. It's likely to be heavier than anything the band have done before based on what we have so far.

Haven't heard loads from this year yet but albums I'm enjoying so far...
Immolation - Atonement (album of the year so far and will take some shifting) Kreator - Gods Of Violence Bathsheba - Servus Dool - Here Now, There Then Mors Principium Est - Embers Of A Dying World Scenario II - A New Dawn Overkill - The Grinding Wheel Ritualization - Sacraments To The Sons Of The Abyss Coming soon, that I expect great things from, albums from Pallbearer, Mastodon, Obituary, Pilorian.

^ Black metal albums I think you'd like (you probably have a few on your list to hear already though). Not counting anything that isn't out yet.
Fen - Winter Saille - Gnosis (all bar one track is on Spotify now) Lorn - Arrayed Claws Wiegedood - De Doden Hebben Het Goed II Pure Wrath - Ascetic Eventide Fell Ruin - To the Concrete Drifts (black/doom) Imperceptum - The Eternal Path to Nothingness (black/doom) I haven't really listened to much from other genres that either isn't out yet or already on your list, but Ex Deo's new one is a solid symphonic death metal release.

I've been far too busy to listen to new music or do anything for that matter but i have been able to hear the new Pain Of Salvation. Shocked you're giving it only a 1 star. I quite like it myself. Not comparable to the classics but certainly an interesting listen for me. At least a 3.5 for me :)
