Okay this is kinda hard, this is the firt time I'm ranking my aoty's with tiers instead of scores, so I haven't yet decided which tier 1 albums are the best etc.
1. Greyhaven - Empty Black
2. Rivers of Nihil - Where Owls Know My Name
3. Rolo Tomassi - Time Will Die and Love Will Bury It
4. Between the Buried and Me - Automata I
5. TesseracT - Sonder
6. Hibakusha - Prophet of Numbers
7. Hypno5e - Alba - Les Ombres Errantes
8. Orphaned Land - Unsung Prophets & Dead Messiahs
9. God Is An Astronaut - Epitaph
10. Ihsahn - Amr
Kinda bummed though. I thought I had heard somewhere that Six Roaming Owls had a double album coming out this year, but I don't see it on the release date calendar, and can't find any news in the 'Net.
Yeah, they're very lowkey about it. They usually give very subtle hints or no hints at all, and then when it drops: BOOOM!
