I'm far from having heard everything relevant released this year, but here's my top 5 list:
1. Mari Lwyd - Y Ddraig Goch (underrated as f**k)
2. Phobos - Biborkert
3. Örnatorpet - Blodbad Och Efterspel (more expressive and enjoyable than Bergtagen)
4. Taur Nu Fuin - Kolarbyn 4. Dame Silú de Mordomoire - Ordeals
4. Båvingr - Bycirce 4. Erdig - Habakuk (best release that can be labelled as Dungeon Noise)
5. Kenosis - Book One
5. Moth Tower - Sharpen Thy Knife, Curse The Sky 5. Siege Tower, Isolated Wizard & Natürlicht - Abandoned Dungeons
5. Fåntratt - Kommer Upp i Tö 5. Various - Forced Marches: The Black Plague (best compilation. Short but solid, enjoyable, surprising...)
Honourable mentions:
Chaucerian Myth - The Faerie Queene (can't rate, still don't perceive the whole thing. I've enjoyed parts of it, other feel a bit uneasy)
Dieux Des Cimetières - Tears That Weep Autumn and Love Is The Law Nebulosa - Sundered Darkness and Twisted Pines
Spectral Kingdom - III
Druad - Vast Beneath the Skies Various - Dungeons & Catacombs VI: The Cosmos & The Mind
...Well, it became something bigger than a top 5
