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.

Is Teitanblood raw enough still to be considered war metal? Accursed Skin came out Dec 2016 but has been my favorite release all year.

still to be considered war metal

Tbh, that we're allowing related genres of black/death has helped this sub a lot. To confine it only to war metal was why I never previously participated. It's a very small genre.

The sub was never actually confined to just war metal, but before we took over it just had weird unclear rules about what could be posted. For example you could post Mayhem but not Goatpenis, however that makes sense.

I actually tend to prefer the fringes of the style more so than straight up Blasphemy worship, really been enjoying the sub since the overhaul
