Damn! Another year has come and gone already, I can't get over how fast time flies by in my life, it's almost as if every trip around the sun takes only the blink of an eye. However, when I begin going back through the Metal that we've had this year, and for many years now, it can definitely bring some perspective to the time that has actually passed by. There were so many death metal releases again this year, and I know that I didn't even hear nearly all of them. To that point I have a good sized list of releases that either I didn't get a chance to absorb or just overlooked because of too much other stuff in the vault. Bands like Big End Bolt, Blast Perversion, Incremate, Prevail, Pargochy, Miasmal, Severed Limbs, Mental Apraxia, Breeding Filth, Abnormality, The Mutilator, and the new Demonseed are just a few of the unrepresented, and there are many more that will probably turn up on lists contributed by others. See, that's the problem with the excessive wealth we have in our genre, it breeds a sickness and it seems that I can never get enough to be satisfied, but yet there is way too much to ever fully appreciate. Another difficulty is that I am always looking to discover and promote newer bands, and often times it's at the expense of older more established bands, but that is the thing about having this site, it's my goal to turn people onto something that they may not have otherwise discovered and heard. If I can accomplish that for enough people, then I am doing my part to spread the Gospel of Metal and hopefully help death to flourish \m/\m/
My list is not an attempt to judge what were the best releases of 2016, but rather to point out the bands and offerings that I liked in hopes that others may discover something missed and decide for themselves, so here it is.
