Late addition of this...

Warm Shelter - When Our Journey Ends.

I guess from the lack of replies there is no better music in 2015 than what we have posted.

be aware that it's mostly metal because that's the only thing I listen most of the time. Intronaut is one of my favourite bands. Their new release is absolutely amazing and I can't get enough of it. Akhlys is an incredible suprise. A high quality dark ambient / black metal drowned in reverb, crazy atmosphere. First 2 tracks make that album instant 5/5. I highly recommend it. I picked Draconian in 3rd place because I love this band, dearly. Most people think they play the same stuff over and over again but with new vocalist it's better than ever and tops their previous releases for sure. TL;DR list is metal
