My First 100 4's of 2022
Albums 1-12 are rated as 4.5, and everything else is loosely ordered but not number by number ranked. It's all going to be mostly dm but if you're into it, I consider them all to be recs. Also looking for recruitment for someone who is able to keep up with a lot of the new releases, but I might be taking a break soon, at the end of the month. |
1 | | Mathan Darkroot Tzantza
All of the top 5's here are must-listens, as well as Incandescence and Penny Coffin.
Wild dark death-metal magic conducted in the middle of the woods. |
2 | | Bedrangnis Die Burde die Wir Tragen
This is a grand slam. |
3 | | Cryptic Hatred Nocturnal Sickness
Exactly what you want. |
4 | | Rolo Tomassi Where Myth Becomes Memory
Might just be their best release |
5 | | WAIT (USA) The End of Noise
It gets better with every song and it stretches it's legs out in a full pace stride by the end of it. There is so much good in this, and the clean vocal parts are wonderful. |
6 | | Nekrogoblikon The Fundamental Slimes and Humours
Wickedly fun and good and a reminder of the fun we are supposed to have in music. |
7 | | Incandescence Le Coeur de l'Homme
Darling release |
8 | | 40 Watt Sun Perfect Light
Perfect Light is gutting but also still overshadowed. |
9 | | Penny Coffin Σκελετικο σκοταδι
Track 2. This release is finger-biting. That is all. |
10 | | Sadness / Unreqvited Sadness / Unreqvited
Yea |
11 | | Venator (AT) Echoes from the Gutter
This is really a biased 4.5 but people should still dig. |
12 | | Escarnium Through the Depths of the 12th Gate
4.5/4.0 |
