So these are my favorite albums of this past year. For the most part I have found that I went back into hardcore mode this year, so many amazing hardcore albums were released. I could've made a top ten for hardcore alone. Also, a lot of great death metal came out this year as well. You can look at Vincent Renfields top ten for death metal, because that's all that zombie listens to anymore, even tho he is in a pop punk band. Anyway, here we go...
