Your 2017 top ten albums

So with 2017 almost coming to an end, it would be interesting to read what your top 10 (more or less) looks like.

Mine would be the following:

1- jack starr's burning starr: stand your ground (todd michael hall does bring in a real riot v feeling).

2- hexx: wrath of the reaper

3- beast in black: berserker

4- oz: transition state

5- blazon stone: down in the dark

6- kreator: gods of violence

7- savage messiah: hands of fate

8-night demon: darkness remains

9-mythra: still burning

10-resistance: metal machine

I did pick up the latest annihilator album but still have to play it. However, the various samples i heard on the internet did not do much for me really, so i doubt it will make my top 10 list.

I've picked up a ton of 2017 albums but the only one I know for sure is the #1 of 2017 for me is:

i have to re-listen to all my 2017 albums and then i will rank em.

I will get this one at a certain point. I am sure it has lots of potential.

I want this on cd not download. It is a bit expensive here in the USA. Todd is a great vocalist.

Aside from the new Overkill and Body Count, the only 2017 albums I heard were from Stormspell sending me sneaks of his releases to review for my blog.

...so rather than make a top ten "list" that would be entirely lopsided in ol' Stormy's favor, I'll just say I really really liked Nightstryke's Power Shall Prevail from him, and if you add that to the BC and O-Kill that's my Top Three of 2017. There ya go.

Ha! I've bought 2 releases from this year: Overkill-The Grinding Wheel and Grave Digger-Healed By Metal. Overkill gets the nod for the better of the 2.

It's truly miles ahead of anything else they've ever done.

I'll be posting my list soon.

Kinda waiting until the year wraps up some more, but TBH my listening habits have been far from ideal this year. Probably gonna end up being a top 5.

Overkill, The Galactic Cowboys and Styx are all that come to mind.

There are still about four or five albums I'm going to buy shortly before Christmas, maybe afterward. I probably won't make my final list until around the end of January, maybe early February. Kind of like when I made my "Top 10 of 2016" earlier this year on my YouTube channel.

A pretty good year for metal, overall. 2018 has albums I'm looking forward to as well, considering Accu§er, Dark Angel, Deeds of Flesh, and Exodus are all working on new material.

Awesome. Priest and UDO will have new albums out as well.

I got those two earlier this year upon their release. Good albums but i would not place them in my top ten. They would probably appear in a top 15 or 20.

I also would like to correct myself on Accu§er. Accu§er is not working on new material, they've finished their new album, which is going to be released next month.

I am personally surprised that accept, iced earth and havok did not make my top ten list...

Came in to say I forgot Iced Earth and Havok.

Harem Scarem—United
Liam Gallagher--As You Were
Tokyo Motor Fist—Tokyo Motor Fist
Vain—Rolling with the Punches
Overkill—The Grinding Wheel
Eclipse—Monumentum
Kreator—Gods of Violence
Steelheart--Through Worlds of Stardust (big surprise, this one)
L.A. Guns--The Missing Peace
Gotthard—Silver

Check out Oz and Jack Starr. Both are truly awesome releases.

I'll need to give them a listen.

I plan on at least buying the new Heretic and Devangelic albums before the year is over when it comes to 2017 releases.

No particular order:

Overkill - Grinding Wheel
Iced Earth - Incorruptible
GWAR - Blood of Gods
Municipal Waste - Slime and Punishment
Alestorm - No Grave But the Sea
Obituary - s/t
Kreator - Gods of Violence
Warbringer - Woe to the Vanquished
Lich King - Omniclasm
Power Trip - Nightmare Logic

The new heretic is very good. I was surprised to notice that almost no one on this board was aware that they had a new album out.

Overkill - Grinding Wheel
Alestorm - No Grave But the Sea
Kreator - Gods of Violence
Obituary - Obituary
Power Trip - Nightmare Logic
Trivium - The Sin And The Sentence
Exhumed - Death Revenge

Nice list! Some of those are going to end up on my year end list as well.

I need to check out that Power Trip album.
