Agalloch The Mantle
Amenra Mass VI
Amenra Mass V
Amenra Mass IIII
Anathema We're Here Because We're Here
Birds in Row We Already Lost the World
Birds in Row Gris Klein
Converge All We Love We Leave Behind
Favorite Converge album. A great mix between fast hardcore with some sludgy sounds.
Cult of Luna Somewhere Along the Highway
Cult of Luna A Dawn to Fear
Well this is incredible. Nightwalkers is crushing and lights on the hill id immense and one of their best songs on the levels od Dark city, dead man
Emma Ruth Rundle Engine of Hell
Dark, stripped down to the bare bones of just Emma a guitar and piano walking through the depths of the abyss with Emmas haunting vocals
Emma Ruth Rundle and Thou May Our Chambers Be Full
Fall of Efrafa Elil
Fall of Efrafa Inle
ISIS Wavering Radiant
My Dying Bride The Dreadful Hours
Ne Obliviscaris Citadel
Ne Obliviscaris Exul
Fuck me, this is a step up from Urn in many ways. Misericorde brings back elements from the Portal Of I era. Urn was a good record that translates well in a live setting but aside from Eyrie that record falls flat compared to the previous two and the standard NeO set for themselves.Exul has the band returning to form and reminding us what set them apart from other modern Prog-death metal bands
Oathbreaker Rheia
This is possibly my all time faviourite album, so bias.
Opeth Ghost Reveries
Opeth Blackwater Park
Opeth Damnation
Opeth My Arms, Your Hearse
Panopticon The Rime of Memory
Persefone Core
Psychonaut Unfold the God Man
Bumping to a 5 because this is just hitting all the right things for me at the moment. This album is excellently paced as well, my only complaint would be that thw opening track is a tad long for an instrumental opener. Thats just nit picking
Swallow the Sun Moonflowers
This is probably a 4.5 but this has stuck with me so much im slapping a 5 on it. Personal bias aside this record is bloody great i cant really pinpoint a bad section on this or even a dip in quality
The Callous Daoboys Celebrity Therapist
The Dillinger Escape Plan Dissociation

My Dying Bride Songs of Darkness, Words of Light

Svalbard The Weight of the Mask
The Dillinger Escape Plan Option Paralysis
The Dillinger Escape Plan Calculating Infinity
The Ocean Phanerozoic II: Mesozoic | Cenozoic
This is not what I was expecting at all. Its not bad, but perhaps im disapointed from being overhyped. A confusing album that will probably be a grower on more listens
Thou Magus
Thou Heathen
Urne A Feast On Sorrow

4.0 excellent
Absent In Body Plague God
Aequorea Dim
All That Remains The Fall of Ideals
Amenra Mass III

Surburban concept post/prog metal album? This is kinda weird much like the neighbours
Devin Townsend Lightwork
Dvne Etemen Ænka
Dvne Voidkind
Einar Solberg The Congregation Acoustic
A live and stripped down rendition of The Congregation. Which is an already fantastic record in its own right, doesnt suffer or lose anything in this rework by Einar. I wish more artists would do stripped down versions of their albums or songs as Eps or albums
Eleanora Mere
Emma Ruth Rundle and Thou The Helm of Sorrow
Ethereal Shroud Trisagion
Every Time I Die Radical
Falls of Rauros Patterns in Mythology
GGGOLDDD This Shame Should Not Be Mine
Gouge Away Deep Sage
Green Druid At the Maw of Ruin
Greg Puciato Mirrorcell
Its been great to see Greg grow and carve out his own path post Dillinger. Mirror Cell is a more focused and streamlined experience and is a perfect length in comparison to Child Soldier's 15 tracks
Greyhaven This Bright and Beautiful World
Hypno5e Sheol
Kardashev Liminal Rite
Katatonia Sky Void of Stars
King Woman Celestial Blues
La Dispute Rooms of the House

Parkway Drive Horizons
Parkway Drive Killing with a Smile
Persefone Metanoia
Placebo Never Let Me Go
Protest the Hero Palimpsest
Psychedelic Porn Crumpets Shyga! The Sunlight Mound

On first few listens this doesnt reach the heights of Unfold the god man for me. Either way Belgium continues to give us quality material.

The Amity Affliction Let the Ocean Take Me
Bumping for the sheer fact that this record kinda helped in a shitty period of my life. Doubt ill ever revisit it fully for a long time.
The Black Heart Rebellion Har Nevo
Wild, aninalistic, ritualistic and primal. I live the atmosphere it creates luring into the woods and running from a beast

Bit samey here and there, but its still pretty darn great. Have to give it some more time. Also its fucking unreasonable how hard it was to get a digital copy of this
Stake Love , Death and Decay
Saw it was missing from the site, so added. Its good, I need more time to work out specifically how i rate it

2.5 average
Architects For Those That Wish to Exist
A bland and boring outing from Architects. The two heavier tracks discourse is dead and the winston feature are the better tracks on this
Better Lovers God Made Me an Animal
On paper this should be amazing right? For some reason it falls short. This project could have a lot of potential but for its first outing this ep falls flat for me and I have no idea why, whether its gregs vocals not fitting with the ETID style
Counterparts A Eulogy for Those Still Here
Ghost Atlas Dust of the Human Shape
Infant Island Obsidian Wreath
Theres room to grow for this band, i feel if they leaned more into longer atmospheric tracks and more varied vocals they would be onto something. The short tracks just feel aimless and are akin to filler
Motionless in White Scoring the End of the World
Rivers of Nihil The Work
Its alright, i think it will be a grower. One of the
issues is that this is a follow up to a very good album.
Which means expectations are high. Edit update:this is
not a grower. Its worse then i remembered
The Amity Affliction Misery
This is surprisingly good not amazing but its a solid release. It has some shitty tracks D.i.E and burn alive. Also ahren doesnt sound like a robot/bored unlike this could be heartbreak

2.0 poor
Architects For Those That Wish to Exist at Abbey Road
Gee this sylosis go fund me band pissed the bed here. Tldr: Sam sounds good, everything else is a muddled messrThis is not the record that should have had an orchestra or bombastic display that should have been All Our gods or maybe even Holy hell due to the emotional ties. rThis is only redeemable because of the lack of the horrible features and the fact that Sam sounds really good here, showcasing lows that should be recorded on a fucking album. The closer sounds good and is a highlight. The mix is muddy and everything gets lost, with the band mostly overshadowing the orchestra except in quieter moments, which defeats the whole purpose. The orchestra should have been incorporated more. Or not wasted on such a shit bloated record but here we are.
Architects The Classic Symptoms of a Broken Spirit
This is a weird record. Architects wear their poppy side on their sleeve here but it sort of works. This is a step up from the previous record. Maybe its just my soft spot for the band talking though
Make Them Suffer How to Survive a Funeral
Northlane Mesmer
Northlane Alien
Electronic elements end up drowning out a lot of other parts. Lyrics kind of suck. Marcus's vocals are somewhat buried behind everythiny else and that causes them to lose a lot of the effect, low screams lose their impact and the clean sections of jinn lose the lighter more beautiful parts. Its not as bad as others have made it out to be. Its just middle of the road to me
Parkway Drive Ire
The Amity Affliction This Could Be Heartbreak
The Amity Affliction Everyone Loves You... Once You Leave Them
Ive heard it all before. Rinse and repeat rFirst four rtracks are decent, middles fucking awful and the ending ris just the same shit with another layer of paint.Born to rlose has a nice heavy riff and break down but its rrepeated all throughout the song and isnt expanded on.

1.5 very poor
Parkway Drive Reverence
3 decent songs including wishing wells. This
albums an identity crisis, they say they
'outgrew' metalcore but it always creeps back
into almost every track. Prey is fucking awful
Rise Against Nowhere Generation

1.0 awful
A Day To Remember You're Welcome
Parkway Drive Darker Still
Just go listen to Callous daoboys or deathrattle sing to me instead. Dont bother with this shit
Sleep Token Take Me Back to Eden
Many ideas and a potential for a band that could be quite good if they dropped their metal side as it is easily the weakest link in this sound. Vocals feel layered behind many effects, lyrics are....well they are sure something. Parts of this feel clinical. There is no doubting they have talent, this isnt awful its just average. If you dig it enjoy it, if not your tried it and move on.
While She Sleeps Self Hell
Self hell is accurate this album is the opposite of self care. This band used to be solid af. I cannot begin to express my loathing for this piece of shit
