Monarch Magazine Best Albums of 2016
It`s been busy year writing reviews and it`s seems natural that I based my choices on albums that you possibly read about somewhere on those pages already. Not all of them but it`s just more exciting. There is no particular order I put them here but they are all important for metal scene and myself for instance. There is no special criterion I made those choices but in fact, I first picked up those albums that I memorized for long and remember them for having something special, magical or uniqiue in their music. Hope you can explore and find something for yourself, while checking those albums out.
All the best for New Year

Metallica
Hardwired...To Self-Destruct
Blackened Recordings
Metallica is back with new songs after 8 long years.Those are bits and pieces from kill them all, master of puppets and thrash era in general. A sound of the album is excellent. They try to satisfy all metallica fans. They should not...Still very good album though and the best since the black one.

Gorguts
Pleiades' Dust
Season Of Mist
In fact, this is one song EP, not full lenght album but over 30 minutes of music is as good as regular album so I thought, why not. Gorguts is the ALPHA of death metal. Their each release is a new unwritten rule for a genre. Nobody out there arranges their songs as those Canadian do. Plaiede`s Dust proves the band`s greatness once again.
