Teitanblood "Death"
Dead Congregation "Promulgation of the Fall"
Ride for Revenge "Enter The Gauntlet"
Vetala "Lord of Eternity
Bizarre Uproar "Vihameditaatio"
Nyodene D "Mouths That Reap The Harvest"
Wulkanaz "Hufo"
Vigilante Moods - "S/T"
13th Moom - "Abhorrence of Light"
Innsmouth - " Consumed By Elder Sign"
Impetuous Ritual - "Unholy Congregation of Hypocritical Ambivalence"
V/A "Tlitic Tlapoyauak"

Probably a few others I'm forgetting.

I'm really looking to new Arizmenda & Volahn albums, Vorde, Swallowed, Sempiternal Dusk, Wulkanaz, Svartidaudi, and more.

Domains - Sinister Ceremonies
Incantation - Dirges of Elysium
Teitanblood - Death
Drowned - Idola Specus
Possession - Anneliese EP
Impetuous Ritual - Unholy Congregation of.....something
Sacrocurse - Unholier Master

awaiting Venenum, Truppensturm split, Horrendous, Sempiternal Dusk, Altar of Perversion, Nightbringer....don't know what else is coming out

biggest disappointments: Kriegsmaschine, Ride for Revenge

I can't remember any other albums atm and it seems to me that this has been a pretty lousy year for Black Metal so far as almost all of my favourite albums are DM

Dead Congregation, Domains, Drowned. Three incredible releases surely not matched by anything else in 2014.

I don't get why anyone is still excited for an Altar of Perversion album. The last 10" they did was pure crap. I expect that, if they release anything else, it will be about as interesting as Ofermod-Tiamtu (that is to say, an utter snoozefest and letdown).

Bands can issue a subpar release and come back from it.
