Taken around 8:30 pm GMT
There was no write-in for djent so I voted for one.
Not totally clean (trolls in last categories are kept for fun),
Thanks to the person who curated most of the write-is since yesterday, it really reduced the work to do!

PS : I cleaned the list listening to The Testament by Seventh Wonder, so I was particularly unhappy to see it in the biggest letdowns at the end

Shieeet, here we go again...
Best death metal AD 2022 according to myself, listed alphabetically by band name with subgenres. Some notable omissions include: Amon Amarth, Behemoth, Decapitated, Fallujah, Lorna Shore, Omophagia, Paganizer and Temple Of Void. These left me a bit disappointed so I chose not to include them on the list proper, even though I enjoyed all the bands' newest albums. I'm also still catching up on a lot of records so this list will be updated semi-regularly. Hopefully you will find something you haven't heard here. Feel free to recommend stuff in the comments. Enjoy!

Oh and as a side note, none of the genre descriptors are meant as derogative, I obviously enjoy all these bands and albums. Caverncore (or cavernous death) for example is meant as familiar in sound/style to a band like Cruciamentum or Chthe'ilist.

1.Abysmal Dawn - Nightmare Frontier

2.Acephalix - Theothanatology

3.Aeternam - Heir Of The Rising Sun

4.Aethereus - Leiden

5.Allegaeon - Damnum

I ordered them from the most to the least cherished from top to bottom. This is probably the first year I can even put together 20+ favorite albums. I've never done as much exploration in a year, although it all pales in comparison to what some of you are able to pull of. Merry Christmas and happy new year

2.Hath - All That Was Promised

3.Moonlight Sorcery - Piercing Through The Frozen Eternity

4.Immolation - Acts Of God
