I need to get with it. Only 2017 release I've picked up so far is the new Pain Of Salvation.
Though I've listened to the new Aeternam album on youtube (I need to buy that one...love Aeternam). Some good stuff I'm stoked about picking up when they come out, the Seven Kingdoms, Helion Prime, MindMaze, Wintersun, and a few others. Pain Of Salvation - In The Passing Light Of Day Witherfall - Nocturnes And Requiems

This is actually already out but so badly handled that unless you're in the same country as them you'll probably be paying an arm and a leg if you want to get a copy. I'm in the UK and had planned to order the CD at first opportunity but didn't when I worked out what it would cost: CD = $20 (approx £16) - over the standard for a new release to begin with. Shipping = $15 (approx £12) - I know that the US charges the Earth for international postage so I guess I can understand. Import fees = about £10. The UK does not allow the import of any goods from the US over the value of £15 without paying an import fee. I found this out the hard way when I got the last Lascaille's Shroud album. Most would probably mark the package as a Gift even though it's not because that puts the import cost threshold a bit higher, but LS actually did this for me but the UK authorities still charged me. So it obviously doesn't work all the time. Which means the total cost for a UK buyer for a single CD album would be around the £38 mark. Which of course is completely ridiculous. Seven Kingdoms decided to cut their label (Nightmare Records) out of the picture and go full DIY. Obviously the label was taking too big a cut for them because they said it was because they wanted to be in a more financially feasible position for worldwide touring. For me though this has completely backfired because they've made the album pretty much unattainable without paying stupid money. As much as I love the band, I won't be paying the same money I could get about four other albums with for just their one. They haven't even put it on streaming sites so anyone can hear it in full beforehand even if they were considering dropping that sort of money on it.

Fen are getting upset by this one for the top place on my 2017 list. Still picking my jaw up off the floor here. I thought that of all prog albums Ayreon may have a shot of taking it but these guys just beat Arjen to it.

And just like that, MindMaze have pushed this down to second. One more 2017 review and then I'll have done my first 20 for the year.

I didn't think it was possible, but I believe something did beat Overkill's new album as AOTY.
 What a punishing album. This is the most raw and aggressive albums I've heard in a long time, fellow thrash fans should all check this out if they want a pure old-school shred-fest. It's rare a new band blows my mind as much as Power Trip have!

I've been far too busy to listen to new music or do anything for that matter but i have been able to hear the new Pain Of Salvation. Shocked you're giving it only a 1 star. I quite like it myself. Not comparable to the classics but certainly an interesting listen for me. At least a 3.5 for me :)

^ Black metal albums I think you'd like (you probably have a few on your list to hear already though). Not counting anything that isn't out yet.
Fen - Winter Saille - Gnosis (all bar one track is on Spotify now) Lorn - Arrayed Claws Wiegedood - De Doden Hebben Het Goed II Pure Wrath - Ascetic Eventide Fell Ruin - To the Concrete Drifts (black/doom) Imperceptum - The Eternal Path to Nothingness (black/doom) I haven't really listened to much from other genres that either isn't out yet or already on your list, but Ex Deo's new one is a solid symphonic death metal release.

We're taking our time Chris. The priority has been on getting up to speed on the set ready for gigs so haven't done a lot yet. Don't even have a full album of songs yet. They're likely to be completed song by song I suspect but we have some great stuff written. It's likely to be heavier than anything the band have done before based on what we have so far.
