Haapoja - Hallitsematonta Voimaa

This might technically be a "demo", but the 21 min. length and production are actually pretty fucking good; good enough to call an "official release".  It also happens to be the best demo, musically, that I've heard in the past year.  It cuts deepest with it's strong Death Metal roots, but vaster influences are found throughout.  The long, complex riffs remind often me of newer Kylesa in a "beardy" and Post-Metal sorta way.  Just change the vocals and attack slightly, and this could easily be mistaken for modern Black Metal.  To me, this sounds like a bunch of guys who listen to many types of heavy music and just want to make the best music possible without worrying about fitting into genre-specific standards.  I always admire that.
