| DDD's 2013 picks
Hi.
Disclaimer: List won't contain Sunbather. | 1 | | Gorguts Colored Sands
Progressive DM
What can I say? Not for the faint-hearted. The Title Track + The Battle of Chamdo is one of the most iconic pieces of music of the century, so far (in my wicked mind). | 2 | | Queens of the Stone Age ...Like Clockwork
Alt Rock
The "old young me" would put this at #1. Second fave QOTSA and a real grower. | 3 | | Daft Punk Random Access Memories
Electronic
The Summer jam that became the jam of all Summers. | 4 | | Altar of Plagues Teethed Glory and Injury
Post BM
"PUSH and RELEASE" became one of my morning exercises for quite a time. Although its avant-garde nature may push some of you out of this, there's definitely a new bar setting with this work of art. | 5 | | The Dillinger Escape Plan One of Us Is the Killer
Mathcore
The pack of two insane openers got iconic (Prancer+When I lost my Bet) and engage you in a vicious listen, from band that made no less than superb albums. | 6 | | Tribulation The Formulas of Death
Goth prog DM
1st step on transforming their sound, the mixing of prog psychedelic with a somewhat osdm and bm vibe is just top notch. They've completely excelled this time and went right up my alley. | 7 | | Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds Push The Sky Away
Postpunk
Intimate and personal listen as with all Cave's. | 8 | | Cara Neir Portals To A Better, Dead World
Blackened HXC
Relentless and diverse from screamo background, to HXC, to BM, to post as in its two final tracks...amazing unique band. | 9 | | Seizures The Sanity Universal
Mathcore | 10 | | Ulcerate Vermis
Progressive DM | 11 | | Obliteration Black Death Horizon
Death Doom | 12 | | Shpongle Museum of Consciousness
Psychedelic, Electronic | 13 | | Arctic Monkeys AM
Alt Rock | 14 | | The National Trouble Will Find Me
Post Punk, Indie | 15 | | Full of Hell Rudiments of Mutilation
Grindcore, Sludge
Full of Hell, they do what they want. | 16 | | Nails Abandon All Life
Grind | 17 | | Kvelertak Meir
Rock BM, HXC | 18 | | Norma Jean Wrongdoers
Metalcore | 19 | | Slugdge Born of Slime
Prog BDM | 20 | | The Ruins Of Beverast Blood Vaults - The Blazing Gospels of Heinrich...
Atmo BM
This man is a genius. Probably his most forgettable output, but I dig everything this project offered. | 21 | | All Them Witches Lightning at the Door
Stoner Rock, Post Rock
I dig this bluesy vibe. A very atmospheric piece. | 22 | | Agnes Obel Aventine
Folk
Probably my fave Agnes'. | 23 | | Oathbreaker Eros|Anteros
PostHXC, BM | 24 | | Power Trip Manifest Decimation
HXC Thrash Crossover
What a cool band. RIP Riley Gale. | 25 | | Cult of Luna Vertikal
Post Metal
Very experimental, electronic driven CoL, albeit heavy still manages to create these beautiful melodies and build ups. | 26 | | Inter Arma Sky Burial
Post Metal, SludgeBM
Although they are always very creative, they kept their formula albumwise - DoomSludge - BM - PinkFloyd - and then rougher again m/ I wonder if this reached Roger Waters somehow! | 27 | | Primitive Man Scorn
Doom Sludge
This is their debut and their most versatile piece to date. Still BLEAK. MALEVOLENT. DOOM | 28 | | Darkthrone The Underground Resistance
Black Metal
Love the variation of the tracks here. Definitely the best one from their late career and, ultimately, an extremely rockish fun album. | 29 | | Spectral Lore and Mare Cognitum Sol
Atmo BM
The track 'Sol Ouroboros' is too blissful. | 30 | | Mammoth Grinder Underworlds
DeathSludge
This slays! I'd say its thrash metal - hardcore crossover, but then all the crusty dm and sludgy features gives another perspective. | 31 | | Doomriders Grand Blood
Sludgecore
Nate Newton's (Converge's bass dude) sludgecore project on vocals and guitar. Awesome riffing and vocals. | 32 | | Woodkid The Golden Age
Folk, Alt Rock | 33 | | Baleia Quebra Azul
Psychedelic Post Rock
Hailing from Brazil. This listen is very enjoyable , although its indie nature, it offers some welcome variety on vocals (fem and male) and compositions that overcomes a somewhat washed psych vibe. | 34 | | The Psyke Project Guillotine
HXC, Sludge | 35 | | Anciients Heart of Oak
Prog DM | 36 | | Nero di Marte Nero di Marte
Prog Post Metal
This debut is very Gojira with a post approach. | 37 | | The Black Heart Rebellion Har Nevo
Post Rock | 38 | | Mutoid Man Helium Head
Alt Metal, Stoner Rock
EP | 39 | | Pig Destroyer Mass & Volume
PD went GrindDoomDrone ?
EP | 40 | | Immortal Bird Akrasia
BM grindcore
EP | 41 | | Castevet Obsian
Black Metal, Post Metal, Hardcore
Such a dark feel but beautiful chord progressions. Unique brand of black and death, sprinkled with prog and gazey soundscapes all around. 4.5 material. | 42 | | Carcass Surgical Steel
Melodic DM
I've grown my taste for these guys. What a comeback. | 43 | | Ciclo Preparatorio As Viúvas não Temem a Morte
Indie Psych, Post punk
Great Portuguese find. | 44 | | Ghost (SWE) Infestissumam
Heavy Metal, Doom Metal
This was a tough one to get into, but did it eventually. | |
garas
01.17.21 | I had to scroll soooooo much to finally see 30 on the list. | DDDeftoneDDD
01.17.21 | Ahhaha I intend to do some write ups. There s not much difference between 10 and 30 tbh. Tks for showing up garasbro. Any 4.5-5 I just cam t miss from 2013? | rage11111ro
01.18.21 | Very cool list. I particularly like 2,10,11,21, of course 30 but also 31 and 32 | DDDeftoneDDD
01.18.21 | hehe you go hard indeed! Check Voices, they have some akercocke members.
Anyway...I think I'll reset my #2 to #1, since #1 is my 2nd QOTSA anyway, albeit a 5 as well (first 4 are 5s...shamelessly) | dedex
01.18.21 | very m/ list, you've ever given Scale the Summit - The Migration a listen?
also i was expecting Kayo Dot, Regarde les Hommes Tomber, Gris, The Ocean, etc. Stacked year for real | JohnnyoftheWell
01.18.21 | this was the best year of the decade tbh. some good jams on here | DDDeftoneDDD
01.18.21 | Regarde les Hommes Tomber - somehow I haven't rated/ listened to the debut! Will take care of that.
The Ocean - Pelagial - 3.5
Never checked Kayo Dot
Scale the Summit and Gris - Are those highly loved records dedex?
TKS Johnny...was realizing that as I built the list! What's your 2013 fave btw?

@Ega I've 4d Agnes too. Its a great record. Actually there s a new Wardruna coming out this month. I haven t fall in love with their latest but I may do that one in the row, if the new one tickles me.
@dew, good stuff are what we are made of. | DDDeftoneDDD
01.18.21 | Elynna...oof do you want to kill me? If that s ranked I ll start with the first one and see how it goes. Loved that you showed up. Always wanted to jam Ataraxie. | Egarran
01.18.21 | That was indeed a pretty elite list from Elynna.
I gave Shade Empire a listen, maybe I should try again. | DDDeftoneDDD
01.18.21 | Ei Ega. Do Altar of Plagues.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlXmW7HhO_c | Artuma
01.18.21 | some of these are very very easily inferior to sunbather | DDDeftoneDDD
01.18.21 | If this was math, for sure. I'm glad the little tease bait made you check the list XD
Sunbather is a really cool album and I like it. | Artuma
01.18.21 | heh, plenty of great albums here though and to be fair it's refreshing to see them getting some recognition as well. sunbather has been discussed to death | Deez
01.18.21 | YO WHERE SUBROSA AT!!??!!
| DDDeftoneDDD
01.18.21 | Ei Deez! I remotely remember to kinda enjoy them. Maybe I should relisten. TKS | Deez
01.18.21 | One of my fave albums ever. Doom/sludge epicness with Violins and female vox. | wildinferno2010
01.18.21 | Never heard of 38, but it looks neat. Interesting list | DDDeftoneDDD
01.18.21 | Its better than their latest effort imo. Italian post metal. This debut is very Gojira. If you're not much into that, jump to Derivae. Solid band so far.
Will give 'More Constant Than The Gods' another spin Deez. | wildinferno2010
01.18.21 | Listening to the first track now, very Gojira, yeah. I like it | evilford

Russian Circles - Memorial
In Solitude - Sister
Extol - Extol
Jason Isbell - Southeastern | DDDeftoneDDD
01.28.21 | TKS Thibs. I did that Extol already. Not my fave from them, but still pretty good.

Oranssi Pazuzu - Valonielu
Katalepsy - Autopsychosis
Scale the Summit - The Migration

Summoning - Old Mornings Dawn
Eye of Solitude - Canto III
Kauan - Pirut (I dig their latest)
| Pikazilla
01.28.21 | In Solitude are an amazing doom-tinged heavy metal band. Sister is phenomenal.
Ataraxie are definitely in your wheelhouse, awesome funeral doom band.
Eye of Solitude riff for days. | DDDeftoneDDD
01.28.21 | Aaaight, I ll change In Solitude with Russian Circles, which I know already and it was just ok. |
