decibels top 40 of the year
I love looking at a top list and not knowing most of the bands. I used to be able to do this quite regularly, but the more and more i get into music, the less and less surprised I am by the choices when it comes to the end of the year.
I recently started getting into metal, so I have no idea how to gauge what's great and what isn't. I mean I can say what I like, and then I'll listen to some song that sounds (to me) just like it, because i have yet to completely understand the nuances of the genre. I haven't seen how it's grown and I haven't heard the 'genre changers' or the ones who are considered the best. That being said this lists contains several albums I own from friends of mine who have helped me get started. And it's good to see three albums I liked the best being getting the top ten. That at least lets me know that I'm catching on. TI've never read an issue of decibel, but I really like Baroness. I loved their last album and this one. I hope it gets some cred on the more indie lists too. Def. my fav metal album this year. 40 Funebrarum - The Sleep Of Morbid Dreams 39 Millions - Gather Scatter 38 Municipal Waste - Massive Aggressor 37 Javelina - Beasts Among Sheep 36 Suffocation - Blood Oath 35 Goes Cube - Another Day Has Passed 34 Culted - Below The Thunders Of The Upper Deep 33 Krallice - Dimensional Bleedthrough 32 Brutal Truth - Evolution Through Revolution 31 The Red Chord - Fed Through The Teeth Machine 30 Keelhaul - Keelhaul's Triumphannt Return To Obscurity 29 Katatonia - Night Is The New Day 28 Gaza - He Is Never Coming Back 27 Goatwhore - Carving Out The Eyes Of God 26 City Of Ships - Look What God Did To Us 25 Burnt By The Sun - Heart Of Darkness 24 The Gates Of Slumber - Hymns Of Blood And Thunder 23 Funeral Mist - Maranatha 22 Mournful Congregation - The June Frost 21 Altar Of Plauges - White Tomb 20 Asphyx - Death...The Brutal Way 19 The Atlas Moth - A Glorified Piece Of Blue Sky 18 Paradise Lost - Faith Divides Us - Death Unites Us 17 Mastodon - Crack The Skye 16 YOB - The Great Cessation 15 Nile - Those Whom The Gods Detest 14 Magrudergrind - Magrudergrind 13 Obscura - Cosmogenesis 12 Agoraphobic Nosebleed - Agorapocalypse 11 Immortal - All Shall Fall 10 Isis - Wavering Radiant 09 Marduk - Wormwood 08 Tombs - Winter Hours 07 Slayer - World Painted Blood 06 Kylesa - Static Tensions 05 Cobalt - Gin 04 Napalm Death - Time Waits No Slave 03 Coalesce - Ox 02 Converge - Axe To Fall 01 Baroness -The Blue Record Quote:

Hmm, I've barely listened to any of those. Nice to see Keelhaul in there.

I wouldn't say I'm a 'metal ' guy. I guess i'm still an 'indie' guy who listens to some more experimental and/ or underground metal, rap, jazz, and classics.
I just like good music. |

And I don't know how I overlooked it, but my drummer used to be in Funebrarum (the band at #40). Small world.
