I think we have similar tastes munchen don, though I didn’t listen to many new releases in 2016, mainly older stuff (trying to find old gems). You should check.out Ripper. My fav of 2016 of what I heard would be.the borknagar album.
On the megadeth thing, I only have tapes but I do have mp3 files of the.original recordings so ok for my ipod except for “these boots” which has the lyrics bleeped out (farking.annoying)

I didn’t know Borknagar had an album out this year. I like their other stuff, so I’ll have to check it out. Cheers.
With Ripper, there seems to be a few bands by that name. Is there a particular album?
Some older stuff I’d recommend if you haven’t heard would be:
Tankard - The Beauty and the Beer (2006)
Deceased - Fearless Undead Machines (1997)
Voivod is a band that I had written off for some reason, their old stuff is quite good, eg. Nothingface (1989)
New Kreator is out. Arrived a day early in the post
It’s a pretty solid release, good songs, great production. I’ve only listened once, but I think it will end up as one of their better ones.
As eastie boy says, vocals are only part of the arrangements, and I’m not sure a clean vocal would suit the aesthetic with that kind of music. I can generally get by understanding most growled vocals but it doesn’t concern me if I don’t.
@Muchen_Don Very different lead guitaring style. One of my favourite Death Metal bands.
Edit: had a listen to a few songs. Almost a grindcore feel on some songs, and some more straightforward rock feel in places. Unmistakably, Obituary, but they’ve definitely modified their sound with the new guitarist. Bass a lot more prominent in the mix as well. ‘Turned to stone’ sounds like something off “World Demise”. Great sounding album - bigger sounding that ‘Inked in Blood’.
I’m definitely enjoying this more than Inked in Blood. I think it’s a really good release (only second listen in), and yeah can see some similarities to World Demise, which for me is a really good thing.
The song “Straight to Hell” is very different, standard start then after about a minute it goes into full doom sludgyness. Still fits the album though
Sorry, but I just don’t u/stand this sort of stuff … If I said, “Indecipherable Pointless Noise”, … would that be too harsh?
