WHAT WERE MY FAVORITE ALBUMS OF 2019?

	1) DEVIN TOWNSEND: Empath Devin is just the most crazy musician, he makes another epic masterpiece of heaviness, catchiness and complexity.
	2) HOUR OF PENANCE: Misotheism Wasn't expecting much from this release, but they managed to make it all gel and created probably the best album the band has ever produced.
	3) CREEPING DEATH: Wretched Illusions My love of old Obituary brings this album to the forefront of the list, great retro style album.
	4) DEVOURMENT: Obscene Majesty Just the most bludgeoning album I may have ever heard, your ears will bleed, and your head will save in.
	5) VISCERAL DISGORGE: Slithering Evisceration While nothing terribly new, this is just really, really well made technical death metal Solid release.
	6) VOYAGER: Colours In The Sun The masters of combining metal and pop, really catchy songs and excellent musicianship.
	7) DESPISED ICON: Pugatory The second release from the band after their hiatus, the songs on this one are all top notch, and shows they still have tons to offer.
	8) KADINJA: Super 90' Not as strong as their last album, but the last instrumental song is still my most played song of 2019 in itunes.
	9) INFANT ANNIHILATOR: The Battle Of Yaldabaoth Absolutely ridiculous speed, this album is just brutal fun, it'll keep your head shaking from disbelief.
	10) NILE: Vile Nilotic Rites Rounding out the top 10 is the new Nile, I didn't find the songs on this one to be as catchy, but even a decent Nile album is still far better than most everything out there.

	CATTLE DECAPITATION: Death Atlas A late entry in the year, this is a really solid release from the band and its epic nature and strong songs brings it just shy of the top 10.
	HIDEOUS DIVINITY: Simulacrum Certainly brutal and fast, but not as instantly catchy as their last album, this is still worth a look, but I hope their next one has a few more memorable riffs.
