I Am the Intimidator is really cool except for that one song that kinda sounds like Ministry. |

Sick6Six wrote: The new Dodsrit album is the best thing I’ve heard this year I wouldn't say that it's the best album this year so far, but it's definitely very fresh and enjoyable. It's such a nice melo black and crust mixture. I used to hate any punk in my metal but as time goes on I seem to enjoy it mixed in with every genre, like for example Turbocharged.

This is a strong contender for aoty for me so far, soul crushingly heavy with hauntingly beatuiful melodies and song. Depressing lyrics aswell |

This one's been out since January, but damn does the debut album from Secrets hit hard. Towards the Nightside, especially considering the album title is a nod to Emperor, is probably the best symphonic black metal album I heard in a long while. Features members from Ars Hmu, Chaos Moon, and a few others. https://amorfatiproductions.bandcamp.co ... -nightside |

Another fine example of the Polish black metal scene. Second album by Czernina showing the weird side of the black along the likes of Odraza, Furia and others. https://czernina.bandcamp.com/album/na- ... -usidlenia

Haven't noticed anyone mention these yet: Toadliquor - Back in the Hole https://toadliquorsl.bandcamp.com/album ... n-the-hole An ancient sludge metal band making a comeback. Never heard their previous stuff but this is really good. Heavy as hell. Writhen Hilt - Ancient Sword Cult https://writhenhilt.bandcamp.com/album/ ... sword-cult Best heavy metal I've heard all year. A bit doomy, a lot epic. Just an EP but all four songs are great. |

Canadian space thrash should be appealing enough for most on the second album by Slave Agent. Silent Universe was released a couple of weeks ago. Great lead work and all-around great album. https://slaveagent.bandcamp.com/album/silent-universe

heard a band on Liquid Metal this weekend called, O Zorn!. Song was called 'Slow Mood'. Great stuff. had a very COC / AIC feel to it. Heavy, great vocals. Radio friendly but without the big radio friendly hooks that AIC had. |

Verberis - The Apophatic Wilderness For DsO fans who don't mind shameless rip-offs. And since it's better than the last DsO album, I also don't mind. Last track is a killer. |

Today The Vision Bleak - Weird Tales has been released, their first in eigh years. It sounds The Vision Bleak and it is good. The entire album is a single work "that ebbs and flows" and requires more of your attention in a single sitting than other albums would. The transitions between parts are at times marvelously smooth. |

Mallephyr deliver a great black/death album. Has some similarities to Blasphemer-era Mayhem, in fact, the riffs here and there sound very much like him. Given the added death metal elements, I thought this sounds like how Vltimas might sound if they got more adventurous and progressive with their songwriting. |

From there you into their entire discography. |

Surprised no one's mentioned the new Replicant album yet. Easily one of the best dissonant death metal releases of this year. As technical as this gets there's also tons of groove. |

+1 for the new Replicant. I've sleepwalked through my first listen last night, but on a second listen now with fresh coffee-powered ears, it's a monster. This one is a keeper. Also for the death/black crowd, new Heresiarch is out now. Quality crushing from New Zealand. https://heresiarchofficial.bandcamp.com/album/edifice |

Aequorea - Departure Recommended for fans of post/doom metal. Not quite as good as the previous album, but still great. More doomy and less post than "Dim." First listen got me a bit confused but it grows on me on every listen. |

Achelous - Tower of High Sorcery 5+ listens and I would say this is one of the best albums of the year so far. Truly epic and at times it sounds downright hypnotic. Great vocalist and the female vocals deliver exotic atmosphere and contrast. Everything is well thought out, well placed and executed perfectly. |

Le Cloître by Givre, atmospheric/post-black metal with a unique lyrical focus on female mystics and their divine inspiration through suffering. It's not groundbreaking but I've been listening to it a lot over the past few weeks. Something about it just resonates with me -- maybe the tight compositions and anguished-sounding vocals. https://givremetal.bandcamp.com/album/le-clo-tre
