Worm Shepard - Ritual hymns Spite - Dedication to flesh FFAA - Oh what the future holds And my personal favorite this year: Aviana - Corporation
Came out late last year, but I never hear anyone talk about the newest Plebeian Grandstand album. It’s incredible, needs more recognition

it made my top 10 for the last year for sure. phenomenal album and band
- Perpetual Night - Acontium - Lustre - A Thirst For Summer Rain 🌧 - Inexorum - Equinox Vigil - Marrasmieli - Martaiden Mailta (saw this from Quest for Metal, holy crap 😳, awesome atmospheric / melodic Black metal)
I'd also throw up Autonoesis's "Moon of Foul Magics" as an esteemed highlight for this year's metal albums. I'm not sure how underground they are, but this album is some real piece of Black/thrash goodness. You can tell their influences come from bands like Dissection and Vektor. Considerably technical while still being experimental and proggy with some great melo-black qualities thrown in with the thrash. Only problem I really have with it is that the title track just steals the show with how good it is compared to the rest of the album which is extremely solid itself.

I love Chat Pile´s album
An Abstract Illusion ended up number 2 on my album of the year list
Hell yes, lots of sick albums on this list, and, even though I know you weren't as into that Hath record, that is a super accurate description of their sound. I also cannot help but get vibes from Les Discrets at times due to how atmospheric their sound can get.

"Pain of Oizys" might be my song of the year on an overall great album. I love Larisa Stupar's vocals
Great picks in here with Hath, Revocation and Sigh! I know I'm in the vast minority with my favourite album of this year, but as I've commented multiple times previously . The best album this year IMHO is Doldrum: The Knocking full-stop!

Well done
Psycroptic - Divine Council . This album wasn't talked about enough in my opinion. And my favorite Tech Death album by far this year is Spire of Lazarus - Soaked in the Stands. This album is amazing! I raved about these guys so much that they actually got #9 in a top 10 Tech Death fans pole. I know that most people on this channel really are into more obscure Metal than myself, but this album just can't be overlooked in my opinion.
Astral Tomb's Soulgazer imo one the most slept on death metal album of this year

Agreed.
I really just want to take this opportunity to prop up two of my favorite new artists, Wargasm from the UK and Scene Queen. Wargasm sounds like a modern interpretation of Rammstein. Slick, sexy, club ready ragers with a perfect blend of electronic music and nu metal. Their album EXPLICIT: the MIXXXTAPE is one of my favorite albums of 2022. Also, Scene Queen and both Bimbocore volume 1 & 2. She’s a super unique musician on the scene, blending elements of pop, metal, and trap. She sounds like if Ke$ha was really into nu metal.
Fuck yeah to Venom Prison and Sigh awesome stuff.
Gaerea is definitely on my year end list (like you i think i perfer limbo) but wiegedood and blut aus nord , mass worship, lifesick, are up there on my list. still have a few undecided cuz there are too many bangers this year
All of these are really good
mine was Habitat by Barn. Some of the best tech death I have ever head
Late to the party. All bangers tho! 1) Blackbraid- Blackbraid 1 2) Saor- Origins 3) Sakis Tolis- Among the Fires of Hell 4) Kardashev - Liminal Rite 5) Gaerea- Mirage 6) BAEST- Justina 7) Ueldes- Foreverer 8) Walg- III 9) Soreption- Jord 10) An Abstract Illusion- Woe
I didn't listen to as much metal as I usually do, but Imperial Triumphant was my favorite of the year.
Loved the Hath album.
These are all really good picks; I highly enjoyed the newest Hath, Venom Prison, Gaerea, An Abstract Illusion, Wormrot, Chat Pile, Artificial Brain, Revocation, Tallah, and Sigh albums as well.
My Top Albums 2022: Hierophant - Death Siege Stick To Your Guns - Spectre Vermin Womb - Retaliation Wormrot - Hiss Terror - Pain Into Power Milking The Goatmachine - Nach uns die Grindflut Wiegedood - There's Always Blood At The End Of The Road Decapitated - Cancer Culture Misery Index - Complete Control Watain - The Agony & Ecstasy Of Watain Honorable Mentions: Napalm Death - Resentment Is Always Seismic Coffin Feeder - Stereo Homicide / Over The Top Fulci - Lonely Hearts
Great job Mask Guy
Top 10 Enterprise Earth - The Chosen Shadow of intent - Elegy Lorna Shore - Pain remains Consvmer -Obession Sold soul - I hope we make it out of this live A Wake in Providence - Eternity Meshuggah - Immutible Aviana. - Corporation Darko US - Uni Sprite - Hangman
I just love: Venom Prison Imperial triumphant Spirit World
I really like Defacing Gods,resurrection of Lilith album
No Dream Unending or the Worm Ep, both crushed it!!
my personal winner for 2022 is Sadistic Ritual. Destroyer 666 was late to the party but Never Surrender is awesome follow up to Wildfire, I am glad that they didnt changed that style.

Ritual Hymns by Worm Shepherd was also really good the best sympho deathcore album of the year
Definitely the generation of danger by tallah. One of the most heaviest nu-core albums to date, so many good songs with different feels and different influences
Ithaca - They Fear Us: I was probably the only one this ensnared by this album, but I legitimately couldn’t stop listening. When I tried listening to other things, I would end up shutting them off and putting Ithaca back on.
