Best Extreme Metal Albums of 2018

The Top Ten
1 Diluvium - Obscura

YouTube comment on Obscura's Diluvium: "It is ironic that a band named OBSCURA has made everything so clear."
I couldn't agree more.

2 The Outer Ones - Revocation
3 Illusive Golden Age - Augury

This happened to be a great album and the biggest Obscura contender by far. I made a list you can check out - Best Songs On Augury's Illusive Golden Age.

4 Where Owls Know My Name - Rivers of Nihil
5 Algorythm - Beyond Creation
6 Northern Chaos Gods - Immortal
7 Meditations - Kataklysm
8 Trident Wolf Eclipse - Watain
9 Ion - Portal

This album is Experimental Death Metal.
Heavy.

10 Amr - Ihsahn
The Contenders
11 The Book of Suffering, Tome II - Cryptopsy
12 Queen of Time - Amorphis

I wasn't sure what to do with this album - whether to include it in this list or not. It is pretty melodic and soft, and I would say it's kinda easy listening but at the same time it contains death growls (not all the time but often). Which makes it an extreme metal album. It doesn't sound extreme but you got what was my dilemma. Moreover, the album is very good.

13 Beloved Antichrist - Therion
14 Liquid Anatomy - Alkaloid
15 Idol - Horrendous
