Countess - Spawn Of Steel
Nowhere near as good as the earlier releases but still quite awesome. A very unique mix of black metal and just normal old school heavy metal.

Apokalyptic Raids - The Third Storm - World War III
Awesome old school Hellhammer worship. They mimic their style and sound perfectly.

Andralls - Inner Trauma
Awesome extreme Brazilian thrash.

Aura Noir - Deep Dreams of Hell
Pretty nice black/thrash.

Manilla Road - Gates Of Fire
It's no Crystal Logic but still pretty goddamn awesome. The only annoyance is the slight usage of pseudo-death metal vocals. Other than that, awesome epic metal.

Nanowar - Other Bands Play, Nanowar Gay
LOL

I don't have that many 2005 releases. And even if I do most of 'em suck. Front Beast (well they always suck), Judas Priest, Kreator, Destruction, Exodus, Nuclear Assault, Usurper and even the new Incriminated (which I was really looking forward to hear) all sucked.
