I'm trying to listen to at least one new release every day from this point. Lots of new albums I've overlooked this year.

the biggest problem I'm having this month is listening to anything other than Curing on repeat

Yeah, I love it, thanks for bringing it up! I just wish I knew about it sooner so I could've bought the vinyl on last Bandcamp Friday. I liked the Converge/Chelsea Wolfe album too, I hope they do more sludge stuff.

Got to say I'm really digging the new Mastodon album. The last two both took more than one listen to really appreciate, but this one is straight in at 4.5.

^I feel similarly. I do enjoy The Hunter but never been drawn back to the albums which followed. I plan to dedicate more time to the new one though as it was more interesting that the previous 2. I worship the first 4 albums.

 http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/album/first-fragment/gloire-eternelle Just played this one and I think it's a must for fans of prog/tech death metal.

^ I heard the first few minutes of this after adding it the archives but I didn't have the time to listen further. I always meant to revisit it and will do so tomorrow - thanks for reminding me. I'm in too much of a Gentle Giant mood to try it tonight. Front runners for so far me are Diskord and Aenigmatum - both should be interesting to fans of technical death metal. The later in particular manages to project a brutal and dissonant sound while seamlessly slotting in the occassional catchy, melodic guitar riff before returning to the onslaught. The Cognizance album is also worth a shot for anyone who likes solid, straight-up grunty death metal. Edited by BitterJalapeno - 09 Dec 2021 at 3:04pm |

Brilliant album. That's always the one I reccomend when trying to introduce people to Gentle Giant as it's a bit more approachable. Octopus has take the number 1 spot for me. I have the artwork framed in my bathroom haha. It's the only place in the flat she would allow it! I tried to upload a photo of it but I'm getting some sort of error  |

Usually that happens if the file is too big, I think the limit is something like 300kb. If you make it smaller and save it as a jpg it'll probably work. Love that album cover too, and would definitely frame a vinyl copy. I just have it on CD though. |

The 2nd half of Bishop's self-titled debut is some of the trippiest black metal I've heard.
The album started off reminding me of Celeste, and transformed into this hypnotic industrial horror music. A bit like Lord Mantis meets Thorns. Also for fans of Darkspace & Bezmir. Awesome edit: come to think of it, side A reminds me more of Indian than Celeste

Okay, here's what I'm working with so far. Willing to take any recs you wanna throw my way. Most of these have been played only once so far so I expect a lot of primary ratings to change yet.
5/5: Lovebites - Glory, Glory to the World (EP) Mare Cognitum - Solar Paroxysm Pharaoh - The Powers That Be 4.5/5 Aquilus - Bellum I Darkthrone - Eternal Hails..... Devil Electric - Godless Epica - Omega Esoctrilihum - Dy'th Requiem for the Serpent Telepath Eternity's End - Embers of Ear First Fragment - Gloire éternelle Helloween - Helloween Iron Maiden - Senjutsu Mastodon - Hushed and Grum Obscura - A Valediction Panopticon - ...and Again Into the Light Spectral Lore - Ετερόφωτος The Vintage Caravan - Monuments Transatlantic - The Absolute Universe (both versions but won't vote for as I don't see if as relevant enough) 4/5 Anna Pest - Dark Arms Reach Skyward With Bone White Fingers Blazon Stone - Damnation Crypta - Echoes of the Soul Dream Theater - A View From the Top of the World Forhist - Forhist Nervosa - Perpetual Chaos Paradox - Heresy II: End of a Legend Project: Roenwolfe - Edge of Saturn Rebellion - We Are the People Running Wild - Blood on Blood Skyliner - Dark Rivers, White Thunder Spectral Wound - A Diabolic Thirst The Neal Morse Band - Innocence & Danger (also won't vote for due to not seeing as relevant; they completely nerfed the metal elements that helped to define the first three NMB albums on this one) The Ruins of Beverast - The Thule Grimoires Ungfell - Es Grauet Wizardthrone - Hybercube Necrodimensions Wolfchant - Omega: Bestia 3.5/5 Converge & Chelsea Wolfe - Bloodmoon: I (biggest growing potential I think) Logistic Slaughter - Lower Forms of Life Naitaka - Naitaka (EP) Sonic Haven - Vagabond Warmoon Lord - Battlespells 3/5 Dvne - Etemen Ænka

^Well since the new Gojira is number one on my list this year, that would be a recommendation from me. The Cryptosis album may also be of interest to you, and I´d recommed giving the new White Stones album a listen too.

^^2 late releases that I'm just getting into now are Unanimated - Victory In Blood sitting between melodic death and melodic black metal is excellent. Also Hypocrisy - Worship, very good melodeath. The former in particular might be of interest to you Adam and I'll 2nd Cryptosis that Jonas suggested.
