The Death Chamber's Best of 2020

I have been very indifferent about creating a year-end list for 2020 and not because it wasn't another stellar year for death metal, but just because the year was such a dumpster fire otherwise in my opinion. Between the pandemic and the reaction to the pandemic and the reactions to everything else that happened last year, I've just been ready to move on but to keep with tradition, which is important in these days, I will take the time to remind errybody of a few albums that I liked in 2020. 

This is not a comprehensive list and I admittedly didn't even come close to listening to every release either thoroughly or otherwise but there were several albums that grabbed my attention for one reason or another and here they are in no particular order.
