| Dante's 2017
Top 10. It was a pretty good year for music, all things considered. | | 1 |  | Full of Hell
Trumpeting Ecstasy
It's becoming more and more clear that Full of Hell, in their purest form, are a grindcore band. While they try to experiment greatly with other sounds and collaborations, they're at their greatest when it's a focused brute-shot of chaos. | | 2 |  | Chelsea Wolfe
Hiss Spun
Not as good as Abyss, in my opinion, which made it difficult for this album to fully click. But it is still an incredible album on its own and it deservedly at no.2 for this year. | | 3 |  | Glassjaw
Material Control
A surprise flaming meteor landing right when you least expected. Instantly a top 5 AOTY and only growing. | | 4 |  | Converge
The Dusk in Us
It certainly seems like their sound is starting to curb down a little, but they've begun tooling it in a way that still sounds fresh and rejuvenated. Incredible for a band going on 20+ years. | | 5 |  | Ulsect
Ulsect
An excellent mix of modern and throwback DM. | | 6 |  | Falls of Rauros
Vigilance Perennial
Falls of Rauros finally find a middle ground on folky nature worship and dissonant Appalachian black metal. More bite than WITTR, less chaotic than Panopticon. | | 7 |  | The xx
I See You
It's refreshing to see that pop music can still be slick, cool, and artistic. | | 8 |  | Less Art
Strangled Light
Speaking of art, post-hardcore is alive and well. | | 9 |  | Julien Baker
Turn Out The Lights
Not quite the jump from debut to sophomore album that I was hoping for, but Julien Baker is quickly becoming the modern age David Bazan in his Pedro The Lion heyday. | | 10 |  | Knuckle Puck
Shapeshifter
Yes, the bands persona can be grating to most people, but Shapeshifter is a refreshing throwback to early 00s pop-punk, with a bit of a modern edge that most have come to associate Knuckle Puck with. | |

12.22.17 | cool list. I really liked 3 and 4, but haven't heard much else. I didn't like 1, but I don't like grindcore so I understand that if you like that style, you love that album. | Relinquished
12.22.17 | not bad dude sup | pjquinones747
12.22.17 | Good list, mate. I'm another "who's this guy?" list poster, mostly active in Nov/Dec and I'm surprised we haven't received a more defined label yet. | accompliceofmydeath
