I'm unsure if this should count as progressive metal as it's like a pseduo-prog thing, but if Gojira can make the list, I think this one can, too! Still my metal AotY for 2016, regardless :)

Absolutely fantastic album. It's like a symphonic progressive melodic black metal kind of thing from Israel.
