As a fan of Terry Butler, I had to check out this band and I was not disappointed, old-school Florida death metal vibes.

 

9. Axioma – Sepsis

Really good auditory experience from beginning to end. Lots of darkness and experimentation. I love it!

 

8. Misery Index- Complete Control

Misery index never disappoints, they know how to deliver grind and violence at is best.

 

7. Acephalix – Theothanatology

This Bay Area bulldozer of a band delivers an album full of heaviness and caveman style beats that reminds you what metal is all about, plus Erica rules on bass!

 

6. Psycroptic – Divine Council

 

This Australian band has always impressed me with their guitar work and drum intensity. Highly recommended.

 

5. Meshuggah – Immutable 

Swedish Jedis and originators of Djent style metal. Delivered a very powerful album.

 

4. Krisiun – Amorren Solis

The Brazilian trio power house delivered a new twist on their extreme approach with their war like drum style and extreme riffage.

 

3. Exhumed – To The Dead 

Gore metal at its best, very good production over all, we just did a tour with the  masters of Gore to promote this album and these songs are so much fun live!

 

2. Goatwhore – Angels Hung From The Arches Of Heaven

Blackened death thrash perfected! This album is definitely the pinnacle of their career.

 

1. Immolation – Acts of God

Masters of darkness and refined old school death metal, bring us a dark and elegant masterpiece. The artwork, lyrics, arrangements, solos, drumming, and production: overall perfection.
