Greetings. Once again, we've reached the end of the year/the beginning of a new year and that means it's time for me to lay out my Best of 2014 in metal.
I have to say, in my usual (overly, perhaps) honest and candid way, that I could literally copy-and-paste the opening of my Best of 2013 list here. Other than the date, nothing has changed!
The same criteria apply that I laid out last year: riffs and enjoyment. Albums that don't have quality riffs were shoved aside. That's all I'm going to say about it, though I'm sure that some will question my choices on an individual basis.
Now, let's get down to business, starting with my "Just Missed". No honorable mentions in 2014; it wasn't a good enough year for that.

How's Your 2014?
After last year's (somewhat) successful post outlining what I was looking forward to in 2013 and talking about what I liked in the first half of the year in metal, I thought I would do the same thing this year.
Then I saw this, from @Metaltxt on Twitter:
Well, my work is done, isn't it? Since I can't do funnier and most people find seriousness to be an utter bore, I think I'll leave it at that.
Thanks to Metal.txt for the image and the lulz. There's nothing like the lulz in this case, really.
Also, if you haven't checked them out already (and I'm betting you have), go listen to the new releases from Alraune, Thantifaxath, Yautja, and Diocletian.
And don't forget Incantation either!
At any rate, here's what I'm looking forward to for the rest of 2014 (at least, that I know the release dates for):
Corrosion of Conformity - IX [7/1, delayed from 6/24]
Origin - Omnipresent [7/8]
Wolvhammer - Clawing into Black Sun [7/8]
Mutilation Rites - Harbinger [7/22]
Overkill - White Devil Armory [7/22]
Pallbearer - Foundations of Burden [8/19]
YOB - Clearing the Path to Ascend [9/2]
Cannibal Corpse - A Skeletal Domain [9/16]
Decapitated - Blood Mantra [9/30]
Witch Mountain - Mobile of Angels [9/30]
Occultation - Silence in the Ancestral House [10/14]
If those dates change, I'll try to note them.
Given that the playoffs have been over in the NBA and NHL for a while, I'm thinking that I might get back into music reviews. Otherwise, until The Bridge starts its second season, I really have nothing else to write about other than Bleach.
