What’s a better way to celebrate Christmas than by listening to some good ol’ slam? Asphyxiating on Jingle Balls by Operation Cunt Destroyer - Asphyxiating on Jingle Balls (2015) https://youtu.be/ze9nCV7xg5w

One of those bands that had so much potential, but simply ceased to be soon after. One of the best deathcore albums out there, Crimson Armada’s Guardians had the riffs, the breakdowns, and one of the best vocalists at the time.  “A Filthy Addiction” by The Crimson Armada – Guardians (2009) :  https://youtu.be/juMZxg4dnlk

Top Albums of 2016

So yeah, this blog has probably been forgotten, and I’ve been tossing around the idea of bringing it back for some time. The biggest obstacle I’ve had with this is the simple lack of time that I have; I haven’t had the time for the past few years to devote to this like I did before, but, if this is something I want to do, I’ll going to have to make the time. Any ways, what better way to start back up than with an Albums of the Year list?  Before getting into the list, here are some honorable mentions that were amazing, but just didn’t make the cut for top 20: King by Fleshgod Apocalypse Wistful by Sylvaine Dissonants by Hands like Houses Bones of a Dying World by If These Trees Could Talk Tired of Tomorrow by Nothing You Will Never Be One of Us by Nails Illusory by Cognizance Taether by The Ritual Aura Unholy Alliance by A Night in Texas / AngelMaker Without further ado, here’s the list of my top 20 albums of 2016 (links to my favorite song off the album will be included for sampling purposes of course!):

Flash-back to my favorite song off of this amazing EP, I'm kinda sad that they're no longer this brutal, but perhaps the rest of the album may be different. The Eternal Cold by Make Them Suffer http://youtu.be/JV_BTB3cWkk

[metalwasteland]

What an amazing band, this album is slowly becoming one of my favorites of 2014. A Symphonic Deathcore masterpiece that everyone should at least give one listen to Salem Town by Lorelei http://youtu.be/j_IqEFAx_ao

[metalwasteland]

Fucking brutal band I just found, extremely heavy and extremely technical. Definitely worth checking out  Interchange I by Falling Through the Center of the Earth http://youtu.be/HSJLGlsNDwc

[metalwasteland]

'Dem fucking sweeps Mental Slavery by Monumental Torment :

http://youtu.be/kPkrTnN7Y0M

[metalwasteland]

Hour of Penance is one of the most solid Death Metal acts out there, and this song from their upcoming release "Regicide" further pushes this point. Resurgence of the Empire by Hour of Penance:
