So, my 2015 collection is a little heavy on doom/stoner and prog. Not as much extreme metal. Not consciously really, but this is what I'm currently listening to. Looking forward to some good BM/DM as the year progresses. And, wondering how the new Maiden will sound.
Non Metal
Steven Wilson
Courtney Barnett (grungesish band from Australia w/ a dynamite female front woman-amazing lyricist- rock AOTY for me as of now
no specific order, but some of my favorites this year.
Sarpanitum - Blessed Be My Brothers
Pyramaze - Disciples of the Sun
Khors - Night Falls onto the Fronts of Ours
Sulphur Aeon - Gateway to the Antisphere
Shining - IX - Everyone, Everything, Everywhere, Ends
High on Fire - Luminiferous
George Kollias - Invictus
definitely finding it a bit slow too. A bunch of albums i was looking forward to were a bit underwhelming. Last half of the year has some promising stuff for me though.
I'm throwing this in. I think it's fantastic doom as good as anything I've heard this year. It's fronted by a huge larger than life 300 pound singer/guitarist/songwriter who was in the late 80's/early 90's grunge band Tad. I didn't listen them, but from reviews I read, their albums were really well regarded. I'm going to check them out. But, they never had commercial success. They toured and played w/ Nirvana, Soundgarden, etc. Just never got the rewards. Years later, drug abuse and now 47, this is Tad Doyle's first album in a decade and a half. This album is monstrous. I think this is going to get some buzz.

That is quite a list! Looking forward to some of those.
I want to check out Kataklysm and Jungle Rot. Is the whole album out? I Haven't been able to find an affordable copy of Acturus' new one. That's on my list for sure. I should listen to the new Moonspell and Gorgoroth, too.
