Quartuma 1/2015
hehe i'm so clever. |
34 | | Enter Shikari The Mindsweep
“electronicore”. this band is still insipid as fuck. 2/5 |
33 | | Solefald World Metal. Kosmopolis Sud
experimental metal. this time around solefald mix black metal with world music and the result is fucking mess of an album. 2/5 |
32 | | Make Do and Mend Don't Be Long
post-hardcore. rather uninspired melodic punk with some pretty ehh vox. 2.3/5 |
31 | | Raised Fist From the North
hardcore punk. refused meets in flames. it’s catchy but idk man. 2.4/5 |
30 | | Black Sheep Wall I'm Going to Kill Myself
sludge metal. very heavy but also very tedious. 2.5/5 |
29 | | Harm's Way Rust
metalcore. it’s heavy, that’s for sure but that’s pretty much all it has to offer. 2.8/5 |
28 | | I Don't Want To Know Why The Caged Bird Sings Things Are Getting Better But I am Still Dead...
screamo. really good stuff but the production is kinda terrible. still listenable. 2.9/5 |
27 | | Adventures Supersonic Home
midwest emo. a decent emo album, you know I like this kinda stuff. 3/5 |
26 | | Steven Wilson Hand. Cannot. Erase.
prog rock. steven tries to update his music to fit the 2010s, it’s pretty good. 3/5 |
25 | | Vessels Dilate
microhouse. vessels go full electronic. it’s good i guess. 3/5 |
24 | | Turnstile Nonstop Feeling
hardcore punk. very energetic, even ratm-esque punk but it’s impossible not to notice the album’s flaws. 3/5 |
23 | | Modest Mouse Strangers to Ourselves
indie rock. a slight disappointment, album features some sweet stuff, as well as some pretty bad stuff. 3/5 |
22 | | Galar De Gjenlevende
symphonic/atmospheric bm. it’s obvious that galar wanna be epic as hell but despite some cheesiness and occasionally annoying clean vocals this is pretty solid. 3.1/5 |
21 | | Touche Amore/Self Defense Family Self Love
post-hardcore. a decent split by two pretty passionate phc bands. 3.1/5 |
20 | | Dead in the Manger Cessation
melodic black metal. they sell themselves as a blackened grindcore band and i got really disappointed to hear little to no actual grindcore on here. still, some moments of excellence found on this album. 3.3/5 |
19 | | Retox Beneath California
hardcore. straightforward, enjoyable noisy hardcore punk. it sort of lacks the final oomph though. 3.4/5 |
18 | | Title Fight Hyperview
shoegaze. title fight seem to change their genre like clothes, this time around they go shoegazing. i enjoy this a lot but it has to be admitted that they kinda lack identity. 3.4/5 |
17 | | Blacklisted When People Grow, People Go
hardcore punk. typical deathwish-core but still really enjoyable. 3.5/5 |
16 | | Enslaved In Times
prog metal. one of the most diverse enslaved releases, musically very intriguing and excellent but god those clean vox don’t hit me at all. 3.5/5 |
15 | | Shizune Le Voyageur Imprudent
screamo. italian skramz in the vein of mihai edrisch aka rly good. 3.6/5 |
14 | | Krill A Distant Fist Unclenching
indie/math rock. i expected something noisier but this is some pretty sweet mathy indie rock. 3.6/5 |
13 | | Negura Bunget Tău
atmospheric bm. an inconsistent yet enjoyable and promising piece of folky black metal by the romanian bm veterans. 3.7/5 |
12 | | Youth Funeral See You When I See You
screamo. doesn’t bring anything new to the table but it’s another extremely well-made, intense skramz album. 3.8/5 |
11 | | Cloakroom Further Out
shoegaze/post-hxc. a very worthy follow-up to infinity, this band has so much potential. emotional post-hardcore combined with fuzzy shoegaze. 3.9/5 |
10 | | Leviathan Scar Sighted
black metal. such a vicious and dark death/black metal album, absolutely crushing. 4/5 |
9 | | Mount Eerie Sauna
“drone folk”. another highly successful album by phil. i absolutely love the atmosphere on here. 4/5 |
8 | | Misthyrming Söngvar Elds Og óreiðu
black metal. not anything groundbreaking but some very well done mystical Icelandic bm. 4/5 |
7 | | Godspeed You! Black Emperor 'Asunder, Sweet and Other Distress'
post-rock/drone. the kings of post-rock are back, this time around more focused on the album’s flow than they were on their previous album. 4/5 |
6 | | Tesa G H O S T
post-metal. one of the best light post-metal albums I’ve ever heard tbh. 4/5 |
5 | | Ethereal Shroud They Became the Falling Ash
atmospheric bm. noctus knows what’s up. this is beautiful. 4.1/5 |
4 | | Izah Sistere
post-metal. very atmospheric and highly ambitious. the title track is probably my soty so far. 4.1/5 |
3 | | Careless I Wish You Away
screamo. the swedes clearly know how to make intense, melodic screamo. 4.1/5 |
2 | | Thou / The Body You, Whom I Have Always Hated
sludge metal. dark and heavy and atmospheric. i’m a real sucker for this kind of music. 4.2/5 |
1 | | Saintly Rows Heaven in the Hollow
screamo. this album screams passion. musically a lot like the saddest landscape, love it. 4.2/5 |
