2016-ish Rock/Metal Album Releases

Writing about classic music is all well and good. But we should not neglect recent releases by talented bands, both old and new.

I previously posted my favorite 2015 albums (http://www.imdb.com/board/bd0000144/thread/246516504). In this thread I'll cover 2016 releases, as well as some other albums from this decade that I've purchased recently.

I look forward to your commentary and your contributions.
