| Pooh's 2013 So Far
Good year, just gimme the new Chelsea Wolfe and Kayo Dot and I'm fine. | 1 | | Gris A l'ame Enflammee, l'Ame Constellee
An outstanding mix of Depressive Suicidal Black Metal and Neofolk, amazing
progression from their debut. Well worth the 6 year wait. [5/5] -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNn-rPXAybQ | 2 | | Peste Noire Peste Noire
La Sale Famine is back with an actual great record. Easily his best work since their
debut. [4,5/5] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spM79wm0i3o | 3 | | Gorguts Colored Sands
Gorguts, nuff said. [4,5/5] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UJDJpxrvJ8 | 4 | | Sombres Forets La Mort du Soleil
Both Annatar and the duo of Icare/neptune (Gris) learned a lot of their collaboration
and created one hell of a DSBM record. While Gris came out on top, new Sombres
Forets is nothing to shy away from. [4,5/5] http://www.youtube.com/watch?
v=Te24up_gZaU | 5 | | Steven Wilson The Raven That Refused to Sing
I'll be honest with you guys, this isn't my most listened genre, so I actually was quite
surprised when I heard this. I've seen it get a lot of complaints, but I'm loving it! [4/5]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_w8SY_9yO8k | 6 | | Csejthe Reminiscence
Something is in the flipping water over in Quebec, they keep churning out quality BM
this year. [4/5] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqhbXaaZxWo | 7 | | Paysage D'Hiver Das Tor
Wintherr is back with a slightly clearer, more Darkspace-influenced album. Its not his
best, but it comes it rivals some of his best work. [4/5]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeWQrrCN8jU | 8 | | Rorcal Vilagvege
Rorcal strikes back with the opposite of their last album. This album is faster, heavier
and better. [4/5] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lY-FoQh424Q | 9 | | Deafheaven Sunbather
Couldn't resist. Most likely the biggest hipster BM ever, but I'm liking this. [4/5]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylTY9WbMGDc | 10 | | Entropia (PL) Vesper
First album on this list from a band I didn't knew before. Both this album and
Deafheaven get to much attention compared to the far superior BM albums that
started this list. Either way, good stuff. [4/5] http://www.youtube.com/watch?
v=7wm18M9bbg8 | 11 | | Anciients Heart Of Oak
Sexy and nasty prog metal. [4/5] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3zLsk3tq98 | 12 | | Altar of Plagues Teethed Glory and Injury
Worthy final album, they obviously kept the best for last. [3,5/5]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7GO1XkFPk4 | 13 | | Locktender Kafka
Saw this on a random sputnik list, great stuff. [3,5/5]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rT9LXeGMln4 | 14 | | Progenie Terrestre Pura U.M.A.
BM in space, huge electronic influence. i'mm calling this Mass Effect Metal. [3,5/5]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xH8ibgotOE | 15 | | The Fall Of Every Season Amends
Great doom record. [3,5/5] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OV8WtOR5bmI | |

08.15.13 | Still awaiting: Chelsea Wolfe, Kayo Dot, Trophy Scars
Runner ups: Sigor Ross, Rhinocervs, Intronaut, Reign Of Kindo, Nero Di Marte, October Falls, Caladan Brood and Summoning | Keyblade
08.15.13 | Good list bro, still need to check one. You got me excited for it now heh.Only ones that wouldnt make my list are 11-14, and Summoning + Caladan Brood are most definitely not runners up :@ | Evreaia
08.15.13 | You don't like 11?
And yeah, I was wondering about Caladan Broods position, but new Summoning hasn't hit me as hard as I thought it would. | Keyblade
08.15.13 | It's definitely a grower man. Was underwhelmed at first, but now it's top 2 of the year. Keeps getting better. And I haven't spun 11 enough, but I'll change that soon. | MoosechriS
08.15.13 | nice list bro, been jamming 1 & 7 this morning. Can anyone tell me what the hell deafheaven sound like in a nutshell? I've seen so many arguments about them and have yet to hear a single note of their music. I actually nearly bought sunbather yesterday but decided against it. | Evreaia
08.15.13 | @Keyblade: i'll give it another shot then :)
@MoosechriS: Black metal with shoegaze, think Alcest with less clean sections and, no clean vocals and filled with blast beats. Its a great record though, you should buy it if you have the chance. | MoosechriS
08.15.13 | might youtube some of their stuff in a little bit then, and have a look see. | Evreaia
08.15.13 | I'd suggest the title song "Sunbather". great song to check the band out. | MoosechriS
08.15.13 | just checked out sunbather on youtube, sounds a lot better than i was expecting. May have to pick up their stuff once i get some more money. | AnimalsAsSummit
08.15.13 | Have to listen to some of these. Brilliant list | Hawks
08.15.13 | Sweet list. | DrHouseSchuldiner
08.15.13 | 5 p/ | Evreaia
08.15.13 | Also anticipating new Vali btw | Keyblade
08.15.13 | Oh yeah it's gonna rule | Evreaia
08.15.13 | lets see if vali handled the years as good as gris | GaugeOT
08.15.13 | so happy to see 13 | Ecksavie
08.15.13 | The Ocean - Pelagial, ya?
12, god damn yes. | Evreaia
08.15.13 | pelagial has no staying power
and if you like 12 check out the BM albums at the top of the list, they are on top for a reason. | geasoftime
08.15.13 | I would have 7 of these in my top 15. Very nice list. Have you heard Vallendusk's Black Clouds Gathering? | IbenizGEO1
08.15.13 | dude sputnik has an official pooh bear. fucking sweet | Evreaia
08.15.13 | I got it downloaded, haven't heard it yet though.
Which 7 if I might ask? | Ecksavie
08.15.13 | @Evreaia: Fair enough. Listening to Peste Noire now. The French vocals are cool, has a great vibe to it too. Nice
suggestion. | geasoftime
08.15.13 | Gris, Paysage, Deafheaven, AoP, The Fall of Every Season, Entropia, Gorguts...
along with Vallendusk, Mouth of the Architect, Encircling Sea, Fen, Boards of Canada, Redwood Hill, Cult of Luna, and Summoning | Evreaia
08.15.13 | mota is also on my to check list
cult of luna and fen grew off me quickly | geasoftime
08.15.13 | Haven't heard 2, 4, or 6 though | geasoftime
08.15.13 | I had Fen at number 1 when it came out, but it's definitely dropped way down. I have it at 14 on my RYM list. | Evreaia
08.15.13 | I'd strongly advise checking them out, especially 2 and 4.
You heard rorcal? band could use some more love | geasoftime
08.15.13 | I like Heliogabalus alot. Vilavege didn't stand out for me, I should give it another listen though. |
