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

1.

2.A.A. Williams - As The Moon Rests

3.Disturbed - Divisive

4.Dog Fashion Disco - Cult Classic

5.Fleshwater - We're Not Here To Be Loved

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

1.Witcher - Lélekharang

2.Hath - All That Was Promised

3.Moonlight Sorcery - Piercing Through The Frozen Eternity

4.Immolation - Acts Of God
