What Albums Were Released in 2015 Thus Far?

About a year ago, I did a poll on CMR and another Christian group or two for best album of 2014:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1QWQkQJYuOS2e9mxLbsVokkuumqCz4ec9QZ0mhOO7AuY/viewform

I had quite a few responses to this poll, and I want to do it again for 2015. The poll won't start for a few weeks still, but I want to make sure the list is a bit more exhaustive before I post it.

I am looking for albums that came out in December 2014-November 2015 in the following categories:

- Hard Rock
- Heavy Metal
- Thrash Metal
- Power Metal
- Progressive Metal
- Symphonic Metal
- Black/Death Metal



I have the following albums/bands for the poll, and am looking for more entries where possible. Thank you!

Thanks!

Are all of those new releases, or re-releases? Do you have any genre description for them? I assume most are going to be death, since my list has almost no death in it, but want to make sure. Thanks!

Teramaze - Her Halo (progressive metal)

If you're counting EPs, Signum Regis had Through the Storm.

Any good?  Where can I find soundclips?  Google turns up nothing.

Very good!  It's a solo project of the guy from The Chariot and Deus Invictus.  It's pretty dark and atmospheric death metal.  Here are some links:
