2017 has been a great year for death metal with some excellent albums from the greats as well as newer bands. I've missed out plenty of good ones but below, in no particular order, are my 20 favourite so far... Beneath - Ephemeris. Stunning Tech death from Iceland. http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/beneath/ephemeris" rel="nofollow - http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/beneath/ephemeris  Immolation - Attonement. The kings of dissonance return with one of their best. http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/immolation/atonement" rel="nofollow - http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/immolation/atonement  Venenum - Trance Of Death. Prog death of the highest order. http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/venenum/trance-of-death" rel="nofollow - http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/venenum/trance-of-death  The Lurking Fear - Out Of The Voiceless Grave. Lovecraftian old school from this Swedish supergroup. http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/the-lurking-fear/out-of-the-voiceless-grave" rel="nofollow - http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/the-lurking-fear/out-of-the-voiceless-grave  Suffocation - ...Of The Dark Light. A more clinical production but still Suffocation doing their brutal death with groove brilliantly. http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/suffocation/of-the-dark-light" rel="nofollow - http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/suffocation/of-the-dark-light  Dyscarnate - With All Their Might. UK DM at its best. http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/dyscarnate/with-all-their-might" rel="nofollow - http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/dyscarnate/with-all-their-might  Incantation - Profane Nexus. Another winner with their dense, murky and incredibly heavy sound.The third New York death metal band to feature in the list. http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/incantation/profane-nexus" rel="nofollow - http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/incantation/profane-nexus  Abhorrent Decimation - The Pardoner. Their debut was impressive but here they show considerable growth with a remarkably mature piece of work. http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/abhorrent-decimation/the-pardoner" rel="nofollow - http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/abhorrent-decimation/the-pardoner  Temple Of Void - Lords Of Death. Best death doom album this year as far as i'm concerned. http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/temple-of-void/lords-of-death" rel="nofollow - http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/temple-of-void/lords-of-death  Septicflesh - Codex Omega. Symphonic death metal. Their best yet? http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/septicflesh/codex-omega" rel="nofollow - http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/septicflesh/codex-omega  Goatwhore - Vengeful Ascension. Death/thrash/black - Goatwhore straddle the genres but do it amazingly well. http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/goatwhore/vengeful-ascension" rel="nofollow - http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/goatwhore/vengeful-ascension  Necrot - Blood Offerings. New old school done incredibly well. http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/necrot/blood-offerings" rel="nofollow - http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/necrot/blood-offerings  Firespawn - The Reprobate. After a promising debut from this Swedish supergroup (another one) they have up their game and bettered it. http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/firespawn/the-reprobate" rel="nofollow - http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/firespawn/the-reprobate  Hideous Divinity - Adveniens. Tech death album of the year? Quite possibly. http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/hideous-divinity/adveniens" rel="nofollow - http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/hideous-divinity/adveniens  Vampire - With Primeval Force. Old school death/thrash with killer hooks. http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/vampire/with-primeval-force" rel="nofollow - http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/vampire/with-primeval-force  Lantern - II:Morphosis. Brilliant blackened death from Finland. http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/lantern/ii-morphosis" rel="nofollow - http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/lantern/ii-morphosis  Obituary - Obituary. Not groundbreaking, just Obituary doing what they do very well. http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/obituary/obituary" rel="nofollow - http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/obituary/obituary  Ritualization - Sacrements To The Sons Of The Abyss. A relentless onslaught! For fans of Angelcorpse. http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/ritualization/sacraments-to-the-sons-of-the-abyss" rel="nofollow - http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/ritualization/sacraments-to-the-sons-of-the-abyss  Dying Fetus - Wrong One To Fuck With. More brutal tech with groove. http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/dying-fetus/wrong-one-to-fuck-with" rel="nofollow - http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/dying-fetus/wrong-one-to-fuck-with  Origin - Unparalled Universe. More great tech death from USA masters. http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/origin/unparalleled-universe" rel="nofollow - http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/origin/unparalleled-universe There it is then, not exhaustive of course and loads of great albums missed out by the likes of Vallenfyre, Decapitated, God Dethroned, Ulsect, Apostate Viaticum, Ensnared, Svart Crown, Evocation, Mors Principium Est and Hour Of Penance to name a few. Feel free to add below any you would include.

| ^ Thanks Nicole. On with it now. My internet keeps cutting out today and I didn't want to compile the whole list in a single post and lose it all so I'm going back in to edit it bit at a time. |

I'll throw this one in as a recommendation here. #1 death metal album on RYM for 2017. In black metal right now here, but there's been a bit of debate about moving it. http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/tchornobog/tchornobog" rel="nofollow - http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/tchornobog/tchornobog Free download at: http://markovsoroka.bandcamp.com/album/tchornobog" rel="nofollow - http://markovsoroka.bandcamp.com/album/tchornobog ------------- Earn Money Online (NOT a scam): https://premium.gg2u.org?referrer=adg211288" rel="nofollow - GG2U https://adamsfilmcorner.quora.com/" rel="nofollow - Adam's Film Corner on Quora |

I'll throw this one in as second recommendation for you Paul. Death-doom but will certainly hold a lot of appeal to the old school death metal crowd to my ears. I've a review lined up for my next post either tomorrow or Monday. http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/spectral-voice/eroded-corridors-of-unbeing" rel="nofollow - http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/spectral-voice/eroded-corridors-of-unbeing http://darkdescentrecords.bandcamp.com/album/eroded-corridors-of-unbeing" rel="nofollow - http://darkdescentrecords.bandcamp.com/album/eroded-corridors-of-unbeing ------------- Earn Money Online (NOT a scam): https://premium.gg2u.org?referrer=adg211288" rel="nofollow - GG2U https://adamsfilmcorner.quora.com/" rel="nofollow - Adam's Film Corner on Quora |

 http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/xibalba%28united-states%29/diablo-con-amor%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B-adios%28ep%29" rel="nofollow - http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/xibalba(united-states)/diablo-con-amor%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B-adios(ep)  http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/obituary/obituary" rel="nofollow - http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/obituary/obituary These are the two best death metal albums I've heard this year. Obituary is Obituary, the only old school death metal band around today that still knows that death metal is supposed to be raw, crushing, and heavy as hell. Xibalba's new EP is amazing. It just has such a massive sound. When Dan Seagrave's art adorns an album cover, you know it's all old school.

I recommend listening to these two albums as well: http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/ex-deo/the-immortal-wars" rel="nofollow - http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/ex-deo/the-immortal-wars  http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/mors-principium-est/embers-of-a-dying-world" rel="nofollow - http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/mors-principium-est/embers-of-a-dying-world ------------- Only the dead have seen the end of war.

Of course these 2 are still to come - sure to be essential listening but how good they are remains to be seen...  |

| ^ The Cannibal Corpse album should definitely be added to the list. Sounds great! |
