Gonna make a legit attempt to do this in 2019. 2019 releases only - EPs/LPs/Splits/Demos/the whole nine yards with some thoughts on each release. Let's see how long I make it through the year before I stop updating this bad boy: Bolded are releases I actually plan on revisiting and are probably EOTY list contenders. January 1. Moisturizer - "Legibly Raw" (Awesome grindcore EP) 2. Scale The Pioneer - "Fentanyl I See..." (Spazzy grind EP straight out of the Myspace/white belt era) 3. Three Knee Deep - "Promo 2019" (Not my kinda hardcore) 4. Rosetta - "Sower of Wind" (Eerie ambient tracks different from their usual post-metal - would probably be a great soundtrack for a space-themed tabletop RPG session) 5. Cane Corso - "Demo" (Current and Ex-members of Inter Arma, Revocation, KEN Mode, Backslider and Khann - all I needed to know to know this would be quality. Still wants me leaving more as it's a sub 5 minute 2 song demo. :/ ) 6. Yatra - "Death Ritual" (First legit full-length listen of the year. Pretty solid psychedelic stoner doom release. Nothing memorable tho). 7. Grave Infestation - "Infesticide" (Solid old school death metal demo. Nothing reinventing the wheel tho). 8. Scvm - "s/t" (Lower-fi hardcore/grind action. I've heard better. Can tell this is a debut. :/) 9. One Step Closer - "From Me To You" (Hardcore in the vein of old Defeater and Have Heart on Triple B. I dig it) 10. Krallice - "Wolf" (It's Krallice. That's all you need to know to realize this is going to be a quality slab of black metal) 11. Soilwork - "Verkligheten" (Soilwork has never really been my cup of tea, and this album continues that trend) 12. Mark Deutrom - "The Blue Bird" (Decent solo release from a former Melvins bassist - heavy, experimental rock with different influences out the wazoo) 13. Tiny Moving Parts - "For the Sake of Brevity/Fish Bowl" (Fun little 7" release from these fellas. Will probably revisit). 14. Barshasketh - "S/T" (Dope black metal release) 15. Rahha - "Descension Ceremony" (Solid German black metal EP that reminded me a lot of Dissection or mgla) 16. XServitudeX - "Bringing Your Hell" (Angry, expressive vegan edge metal. I like it) 17. Fever 333 - "STRENGTH IN NUMBERS" (That's gonna be a no from me, dawg) Looking forward to new releases from the following this year: Judiciary Pissgrave Astronoid Misery Index Pelican Full of Hell Gatecreeper Inter Arma Valkyrie Baroness Carcass Spirit Adrift Candlemass American Football Cave In (HOPEFULLY) PUP
I broke it into 3 listening sessions on three different days. It's certainly bloated but there is definitely enough material for a full good album. I'll probably listen through at work over the next week or so and pull out my favs into a single playlist. I can post here if you're interested.
LPs 1. The Jon Hill Project – Rebirth 2. Seagul - Thrown Voice 3. Nonfiction - Same Pain 4. Monplairsir - the agreement 5. Radar states - strays 6. Fox wound - it could happen to you 7. The Twilight Sad - It won/t be like this all the time 8. The end of the ocean --aire 9. Better Oblivion Community Center- Better Oblivion Community Center EPs 1. Commander salamander / origami angel - holy split 2. Mineral - one day when we were young 3. Polyenso - year of the dog
Here's my list. I decided to do rankings out of 10, as the 3-star system last year left me really unsatisfied. (I guess with half-points it's a 20-point scale, but whatever.) Looking to listen to around 600 new albums this year or so; I've surpassed that the last couple years so it shouldn't be a problem. I'm also going to focus on giving extra time to releases I really like instead of just slapping a 10 on there and forgetting about it.
