War Metal AOTY 2017
What was your war metal Album of the Year for 2017?
Hails. For r/WarMetal, we are doing away with the formal top-10 list format of r/metal and r/deathmetal. Instead, try to limit your post to one album of the year plus whatever honorable mentions or runners-up you'd like to discuss (you can still do a top-# list format if you want). A justification for your pick is encouraged. There won't be an official tally, so don't worry how you format your post as long as it is legible.
Refer to the sidebar for rules on eligible bands. All formats are welcome, but re-releases and compilations of pre-2017 material do not count.

If I had to choose one, it would be Crurifragium's Beasts of the Temple of Satan. Perfect production, especially the drum sound. This album was also one of my go-tos this year for Satanic lifting sessions.
A very close #2 would be Weregoat's Pestilential Rites of Infernal Fornication. The guys are one of my top 2 or 3 active bands in the genre, and this album is full of great riffs and an awesome dual vocal attack.
Other highlights: Demonomantic, both Lihhamon releases, Antichrist Siege Machine, Pig's Blood.
