Got the flu, send me recs

Been chillin in the same spot for like 2 days with AirPods in just working my way through my backlog of stuff to check, send me stuff. Been mostly jamming dm/BM and hip hop these days but pretty open to anything.
1Weakling
Dead as Dreams


Finally gave this a solid end to end listen after years of never getting past the first song because of the vocals lol, the songs are fantastic but still not too keen on this vocal style
2Vince Staples
Dark Times


Maybe my favorite of his since big fish, but definitely at least since FM
3The Hope Conspiracy
Tools Of Oppression / Rule By Deception


Sputnik doesn’t normally give a shit about stuff like this but it’s cool to hear these guys again after a decade
4Tzompantli
Beating the Drums of Ancestral Force


Big boi Aztec style beats, this slaps
5Pissed Jeans
Half Divorced


One of my favorites from this year that no one else on sput is talking about
6Minenwerfer
Alpenpässe


Rec from a band mate I recently checked and haven’t been able to stop revisiting
7Rickshaw Billie's Burger Patrol
Big Dumb Riffs


Somehow the most fun I’ve had all year with music
8Mach-Hommy
#RichAxxHaitian


Any real *authentic* boom bap style shit I’m gonna eat up, the features on this go nuts
9 Ulver
Forgive Us EP


Just checked this today, mostly in one ear and out the other but still a nice listen
10Adversarial
Solitude with the Eternal...


This ruled, big gorguts energy
11Civerous
Maze Envy


I hated this at first sort of, and then the longer I listened I realized this is just literally like if the faceless had non-plastic af production and 0 Michael Keene self-sabotaging
12Kool Keith
Sex Style


This was absolutely jarring after the last 2 lmfao, Keith is as always more than capable on the mic, maybe the horniest album I’ve ever heard
13Cist
The Frozen Casket


This rules, riffy thrashy dm a-la symbolic but even more pit riffs, vocals even kinda sound like a mix between Chuck and John tardy.
14Kayo Dot
Gamma Knife


Haven’t listened to a Toby driver album since choir of the eyes and this didn’t weigh up, very interesting, cool melodies, just couldn’t help but feel like it would be better either without the death metal parts or without the jazz aspects and just hard leaned into one or the other
15Sakna
De Syv Dødssynder


Full blown melodic dm nostalgia mode after the first track that was super washed out and man I was 100% on board until that accordion came in lmfao

Edit: the big doomy parts are for real very good though.
16OTYKEN
Phenomenon
17Hammock
Departure Songs


I feel like I’ve heard this but def time for a revisit
18The Dead C
The White House
19Panopticon
Autumn Eternal


Def have heard this but it’s been a while so I’ll spin it
