Bands/Albums that Deserve More Recognition
While not being an active member of Sputnik, I have been an avid user of the website for years now to keep up with new music and news, so I decided to finally make a profile with my first list being a shout out to all the bands whose talent I feel goes largely unrecognized for how amazing their work is. |
| 1 |  | Anciients
Heart Of Oak |
| 2 |  | Conditions
Full of War
It is really unfortunate that this band broke up after releasing 2 absolutely astounding albums. If you haven't listened to them, please, for the pleasure of your ears, give their albums a shot. |
| 3 |  | Snarky Puppy
Tell Your Friends |
| 4 |  | Giraffes? Giraffes!
Pink Magick |
| 5 |  | Black Crown Initiate
The Wreckage of Stars
Gives me the perfect amount of unrelenting heaviness and thoughtful melody |
| 6 |  | Rivers Of Nihil
The Conscious Seed of Light
Been a while since I enjoyed a pure Tech-Death band this much |
| 7 |  | CHON
Newborn Sun
This band mesmerizes me not just for their technicality but for their fun, carefree sound that are perfectly intertwined in this short lived masterpiece |
| 8 |  | Destrage
Are You Kidding Me? No. |
| 9 |  | Dark Time Sunshine
ANX
How they haven't ended up with the hip-hop elites of today still baffles me |
| 10 |  | Follow The White Rabbit
Endorphinia |
| 11 |  | Hail the Sun
Elephantitis |
| 12 |  | HRVRD
The Inevitable And I |
| 13 |  | Pomegranate Tiger
Entities |
| 14 |  | The Helix Nebula
Meridian
Fairly new band so they still have time to develop a following but I wasn't once bored with this album |
| 15 |  | Olafur Arnalds
Eulogy For Evolution
A beautiful endeavor through an emotional landscape, crafted so delicately yet so rigorously |
| 16 |  | Plini
Trilogy
Just listen and be amazed at Plini's range and accessibility |
| 17 |  | The Red Chord
Fed Through the Teeth Machine
This band has a fairly large following but I have always felt that it should be larger. I might be crazy but Fed through the Teeth Machine is one of the most enjoyable albums for me to listen to front to back, over and over |
| 18 |  | The Safety Fire
Grind The Ocean
How this isn't lauded for it's perfection more often surprises me. Almost everything about this band is flawless |
| 19 |  | Thomas Giles
Pulse
While his main band has a religious following, his solo albums didn't garner much attention but the fact that he wrote all of the music and it diverges so much from BTBAM's normal sound (successfully if I might add) means it should be enjoyed more, by more people |
| 20 |  | Twelve Foot Ninja
Silent Machine
This album is literally the definition of fun |
| 21 |  | Trifonic
Emergence
I haven't listened to the other albums by this band, and they don't really have a very active involvement in the scene, but this album is phenomenal |
| 22 |  | I The Mighty
Satori |
