7) Dread Sovereign - Alchemical Warfare
The first two albums from Dread Sovereign were awful. Maybe one or two tracks were tolerable, but that's being charitable. Anyone listening would've had to make the judgment that Nemtheanga should go back to his day job in Primordial. I forgive anyone who completely dismissed this album without a listen because it was obvious Dread Sovereign was just a little passion project on the side and nothing more.
Those people missed out on something special this year. Nemtheanga found his voice, savage and charismatic, and managed to write a collection of songs that can easily stand up to the best from Venom or Saint Vitus, his primary influences for this project. I no longer look at Primordial as Nemtheanga's primary band and am solidly a Dread Sovereign fan as long as they keep this up. As an additional note, the final track, You Don't Move Me (I Don't Give a Fuck), sounds like a zombified Lemmy back from the grave. It's fucking killer.
