I thought I would add a personal favourite of mine from 2014.
Behemoth - The Satanist
Considering how long its been since a Behemoth record I think this one was a triumphant return and also considering one of the band members overcame cancer. The album features a lot of their death metal sound of the last decade but returns also a lot of their old black metal sound too. Some fantastic melodies in the music too that it is an album I listen to start to finish a lot. Its so far my favourite album of the year.
