very good year, tough to narrow it down but I'll try 10...
Haino / O'Rourke / Ambarchi - Imikuzushi (with Nazoranai not far behind as is the new Fushitsusha)
White Suns - Sinews
Actress - RIP
Russell Haswell - Scandinavian Parts (Immersive Live Salvage)
Robert Hampson - Repercussions
Vessel - Order of Noise
Shackleton - Music for the Quiet Hour / The Drawbar Organ EPs
Andy Stott - Luxury Problems
Carter Tutti Void - Transverse
Earth - Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light II
honourable mentions: Swans, Demdike Stare, the Haxan Cloak,JK Flesh, Lukid...forgetting a lot here. plus the Sunn O))) rehearsal demo and all the Merzbow boxes as the latter two don't really constitute albums at all.
