@Wu Tang Clan
The best of 2013 so far is Mechina: Empyrean (Futuristic/Industrial/Symphonic/Progressive/Death Metal)
One of my favourite tracks off the album
MysteriousPriestess - Agency Of Fate (Epic/Symphonic/Melodic/Folk death metal) an album teaser
Æther Realm - One Chosen by the Gods (Folk/Melodic death metal) An example of their stuff

Fade is alright but a bit bland and doesn't progress enough. I don't think it's that great. We are the 21st century ambassadors has some interesting elements, and is a throwback to early rock n roll so yeah it's pretty good. 5 seconds into Rose Tattoo and I already agree with your choice of Dropkick Murpheys
YEAHHH

WA21stCAP&M reminds me a lot of something Bob Dylan would do. Maybe the Rolling Stones as well.

I updated the OP with a revised top five best/worst. Will make it a top ten once I listen to more crap.

Did you seriously push Mechina's album down your list?
By the way they are re-releasing their album with higher quality recording soon.

Empyrean is still number 1, maybe giving way for Omnium Gatherum's Beyond, Aether Realm's One Chosen By The Gods and Serdtse Kamen's unpronounceable album.

"The Raven That Refused to Sing" is so powerful, emotional, heart-wrenching, and devastating. I really love it, and I can't even think of the last time a song hit me that hard in mah heart.

Glad you like it. Surprised it made it to your number 2 You should hear Steve Wilsons music in Porcupine Tree. Some of it is really good. This song and Trains are the best of the album. Also Wilson is good friends with the death/progressive metal band Opeth. One of his favourite albums is actually their album Still Life. :)

I edited my list and added a list of my twenty favorite songs (one per artist to keep a variety, though I might make an exception later on if I can't absolutely keep a song off the list).

I would also recommend Anamanaguchi's Endless Fantasy, especially if you enjoy retro video game music.

Jack buddy, don't ignore Omnium Gatherum. They have arguably the best album this year. Also I am keeping an eye on Children of Bodom. Their last 4 albums were shit but I think they are getting back on track.
