20 Best Hard Rock & Heavy Metal Albums Of 2016
7. Schammasch - Triangle
Schammasch had an absolutely fantastic year in 2016, and they can completely thank their expansive third album, Triangle, for that.
A black metal magnum opus that gives extreme addicts a hundred minutes and three discs of musical brilliance, it undeniably sees Schammasch evolve far beyond what they were capable of even on their second album, 2014's Contradiction.
It's difficult to pick highlights out of this impressively lengthy experience, but the melancholic "Metanoia" and "Above the Stars of God" as well as the brutal "In Dialogue with Death" instantly come to mind when thinking about this slice of blackened brilliance.
