Each year countless of albums come out. This is obviously by no means a definitive guide because as of 14/12/2011, I've only heard 364 releases from 2011, but do check these albums out if you haven't already! Feel free to throw stuff at my direction. In a rough order right now and rankings get rearranged every now and again. Will be trimmed around again in January / February. Note that I still have plenty to check out though.

1.Terra Tenebrosa - The Tunnels

2.Esoteric - Paragon Of Dissonance

3.Born Of Osiris - The Discovery

4.The Psychic Paramount - II

5.Flourishing - The Sum Of All Fossils
