I'm in a similar predicament to BAN and Macabre, I have between 10 and 20 releases from this year but a good chunk of them are from bands that I've seen live (most of which are solid but few are top 10 worthy).
I think if I were to make a list it would possibly contain (from the stuff I own).
Sutrah - Dunes
Pyrrhon - What Passes for Survival
Halal Maw - Olm
Black Harvest - Atrittion
There is still a lot of stuff that I need to check out.
I never really got into this one, I guess I'll give it another relisten.
