I'm hoping for a new Triptykon album this year.
Speaking of AOTY's , we are doing ours on the Metal community?
I got mine almost ready, just trying not to forget any important one to recommend.
Still finishing off 2016 releases and this Devilment album came up. I like the music but the vocalist...seems familiar. Looked it up and sure enough it's Dani Filth which is interesting to hear his vocals used in a different band.
6. Moonsorrow - Jumalten Aika (Folk/Pagan BM)
It's better than their last album, which was still pretty phenomenal, but Moonsorrow sets the bar pretty high. They already hit such a high standard years ago, it's enough to continue putting out quality albums.
My top metal albums:
24. Show Me a Dinosaur - Show Me a Dinosaur

Wow, you are definitely someone I need to get aquianted with. You've gotten me into at least 5 bands and I haven't even checked out everything on your list and it seems like your tastes and interests match mine pretty closely, so its nice to see what someone else more knowledgeable in the genre then I is listening to, especially when we've got similar tastes.
I've kind of been falling out of love with metal lately due to being unable to find anything new that excites or interests me and abusively listening to the stuff I already like near constantly (Which isn't too huge of a pool to pull from) so seriously, thank you for this!
My favorites from 2016 in no particular order:
Man, I've been listening to this Yellow Eyes Sick with Bloom album nonstop. Now I have to go back and listen to their earlier releases I never really got into from years ago.
Love this art, I'll have to check it out
Love this art, I'll have to check it out
EDIT: I dig it, even if I'm not the biggest fan of wall of sound black metal
EDIT2: Shit this actually goes places, very good
Will definitely do. I just listened to the Desert Mourns EP but I dig that they don't actually let the "wall of sound" stuff overstay its welcome before shifting around. I always dig how that style sounds but it generally ends up being really one note and I tune outlol! Glad you're enjoying it. Yeah, their compositions are fucking good. Often times when a band tries to differentiate themselves in the realm of black metal I feel like it's forced, but with Yellow Eyes it's effortless. It's mainly achieved through writing and riff style and that's the thing that I really like about them. There are no bells and whistles to their sound, it's just well-written and executed at a high level. Again, check out everything after and including Hammer of Night.

Whew, that's pretty awesome.
Glad to hear they're working on a third album. They've been on a steady trajectory of improvement so I want to see where they go next.
The guitar playing and compositions are excellent, but the drummer (and the way the drums sound, nice and live) deserves notice. I just love the simple, repetitive, pummeling, but occasionally embellished style of playing on Sick with Bloom. Complements the guitars perfectly.
I had brought up House of First light before, the growling little circle in New York. I guess I forgot to mention that Yellow Eyes is essentially tied to it as well although that's mostly due to Will playing in a few of those bands. One of those is Sanguine Eagle. As of today House of First Light has put their demo on Bandcamp which should the first of many releases being made available digitally. Really good raw and dirge-y stuff and should be checked out again by any fan of traditional black metal.
Sanguine Eagle (NY) - Individuation
Sorry for super late reply butWhich bands from the list did you like?
So just today I learned Pete Sandoval became Christian.
Crazy!
You have my attentionhttps://begerith.bandcamp.com/
Blackened Death Metal heavily influenced by Behemoth's current output.
I remember when I first discovered this band by accident. Holy shit, this song was like a punch in the dick.

So gooooooooooooooooooooooooood
the drummer is absolutely insane...gives Raymond Herrera a run for his money. >,<
Sanguine Eagle is devotional music, exalting an unfolding magickal current that its members refer to as storm mysticism. The practitioner becomes a personification of the storm itself as he experiences the long and painful process of becoming severed from the dream or banal realities. Embodying its rapturous ability to devastate as well as bring remarkable resurgences of life, the storm is a perfect exemplification of the mercurial power that can be harnessed from knowledge of natures mysteries, wielded of course by one who knows, wills, dares and keeps silent. Knowledge of this frightening totality is so volatile it presents as much risk and danger as it does progress. While led through these vestigial mysteries, existence will persist as a subservient entity and all of perception becomes his temple. As the spirit goes through this harrowing castigation, one finally gazes upon the fruits of strength contained at the zenith-heart of the storm.
Now if they did this like Twilight Force does it, with the right amount of self aware humor, I could meet them half way. As it is, though... that's way off the rails
Black Cilice (PRT) - Banished from Time
new Black Cilice album announced entitled "Banished from Time" to be released by Iron Bonehead this year. This sample is probably the best the band has ever sounded and I'm pretty stoked for it.
Rhinocervs (CA) - Odour of Dust & Rot
SoCal USBM label Rhinocervs has reissued their excellent compilation from several years ago on CD format. It features some great tracks by associated bands Odz Manouk, Tukaaria, and the label itself. Pick it up from Final Agony.

I need tips on more albums with this sound and production

Yea its awesome. A lot of people forget that Fenriz was a really competent and technical drummer during those days.
