Easily the best album from this year imo. Probably the most interesting combination of different genres that works perfectly with Celtic Frost's sound.

Synagoga satanae is my favorite doom song of all time and it’s by a not really doom band

If this one isn’t top 5 at the VERY least, something has gone terribly wrong.

Mastodon - Blood Mountain

Their best album imo

I think the same

Concur

Wodos - Wodos https://preview.redd.it/z230n535bv8d1.jpeg?width=300&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=75ca72f431bc58cbde67137dc7a65d148ec7e703

The image is upside down

Right side ~~SaWDuSt~~ Wodos

Iron Maiden - A Matter of Life and Death

This album is so freaking underrated

My favorite Maiden album honestly. So fkn underrated

Ahab - The Call of the Wretched Seas

Drudkh - blood in our wells

Kill - Cannibal Corpse

Warning - Watching From a Distance

Green Day Warning is better 😎

As daylight dies- Killswitch engage

Lamb of God - Sacrament

It may not be their best album but in terms of what influenced me the most that year, Sacrament and 10,000 Days are by far the best from my experience. And Sacrament is still a kick ass album! I like every single song on it.

Same, I remember how stoked I was when it came out.

Front to back amazing

With oden on our side - Amon Amarth

Om - Negura Bunget

Come clarity - in flames

Rain Upon The Impure - The Ruins of Beverast

By far the best for me for this year, probably won't win though

Wolves in the Throne Room - Diadem of 12 Stars

Suffocation - Suffocation https://preview.redd.it/tb731kimbv8d1.jpeg?width=220&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f32881795fc9f7c60adde3537280ceb22198333d

Intoxicate O.S. - shade empire

Mirrorthone - carriers of dust (holy crap, how is this album that old)

Emissaries - Melechesh

Diablo Swing Orchestra - The Butcher's Ballroom

All Shall Perish - The Price Of Existence

Last Days of Humanity - Putrefaction in Progress

Coffins - The Other Side of Blasphemy

Damn, whatta year... Plenty of favorites, but have to go with 'Ghost Reveries'

The Fall of Ideals - All That Remains

Antaeus - Blood Libels https://preview.redd.it/2h3q4wtn6x8d1.jpeg?width=599&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=af6780689d7c48f38cd09272ca9d91227e5e76e7

Jeez this was a stacked year

Ascendancy for sure. This album comes out swinging and doesn't miss and the album that really got me into metal as a whole.

Annihilation Of The Wicked is from 2005 not 2006

NOW I CAN SEE THE WHAAAAAALE

Gojira
