This album’s stunningly heavy mix of death and doom is truly mesmerising. There are parts of it that sound like catchy, generic radio metal, but they are interspersed sparingly enough with bonecrushing thrash riffs to make this album one of the best in the band’s career. This band has always made it their business to change things up from record to record, but this one is a real doozy. In fact, the only reason it isn’t the top album of the year is because of its sometimes shoddy production. This album is the dictionary definition of a band truly regaining what originally made them great. A perfect mixture of old school punk, thrash and NWOBHM. This is an album that truly caught me by surprise at how bad ass it is. The album has a back-to-basics old school sound, but still features a monstrously crushing production. This album is definitely a huge return to form.Ībsolutely bonecrushing old school metal riffs and epic songs about giant-slaying, sword-fighting and battle, this album.Īnother of the iconic New Orleans bands that hit a homerun this year. The riffs are relentlessly powerful and the sound is absolutely crushing old school doom. Not a dull moment on the entire record.Īfter a lacklustre first EP, these dudes came out with all guns blazing on part two. The riffs and vocal melodies on here are insanely catchy and enjoyable. The storytelling and musicianship on this record is absolutely brilliant!Īnother in a long line of fantastic Hammerfall albums.

This album is quite possibly one of the finest examples of how to make a perfect power metal album I’ve ever heard. Sun Eater is truly a masterpiece of technical death metal prowess. This record is easily one of the most surprising of the year. One of quite a few massive reunion albums this year time has been nothing but great to these inventors of stoner-pop. This album is kind of like a greatest hits compilation of all of Opeth’s non death metal parts.
