10. Thy Art is Murder - Hate
I didn't get to spend too much time with this album since it was recently released, but from a few plays of it, my heart turned black and showed me the disgusting side of deathcore at its finest.
9. Sick/Sea - Moral Compass EP
The typical small local band getting picked up by an awesome label story. The indie stackhouse from McAllen blew me away with their debut EP and I can't wait for a full release.
8. Slice the Cake - The Man With No Face
An internet project with balls the size of the galaxy. This album is perfection wrapped in a .ZIP folder the size of my heart.
7. Abiotic - Symbiosis
This album was another bar-setting album from Metal Blade rookies that no one should mess with. Face = melted.
6. At the Skylines - The Secrets to Life
An all around fun "pop-core" release from the Cali natives that I can listen to from front to back and still be stoked on.
5. Between the Buried and Me - The Parallax II: Future Sequence
The Faceless's and Between the Buried and Me's releases this year fall under the same category for me, that romance between progressive/jazz fusion with extremely even deathcore roots.
4. The Faceless - Autotheism
The Faceless's and Between the Buried and Me's releases this year fall under the same category for me, that romance between progressive/jazz fusion with extremely even deathcore roots.
3. The Ghost Inside - Get What You Give
The Ghost Inside released their long-awaited third full-length after two long years and it was well worth the wait. It's a ruthless, aggressive melodic hardcore album that set the bar for all other releases this year.
2. Coheed and Cambria - The Afterman: Ascension
Coheed and Cambria's Afterman: Ascension did exactly what it was supposed to as a double LP: keep me wanting more. I'm so stoked to listen to Descension after hearing this masterpiece.
1. Periphery - Periphery II: This Time it's Personal
Periphery's new full-length made my number one spot for two reasons: its ability to keep me captivated for 5+ months and its insane leap forward to making Periphery the djent/progressive powerhouse they are.
