Nocte's 2014 So Far
There's not too much of the year left and things are winding down, or in my case
getting busier. Here's what you should be listening to from this year. |
| 1 |  | Anaal Nathrakh
Desideratum
Pales in comparison to the band's previous record, 'Vanitas'. Rather 'Desideratum' sits as a
modernized 'Hell Is Empty, And All The Devils Are Here'. |
| 2 |  | Eden Circus
Marula
More post rock than metal, Eden Circus is a surprising and unknown element in an industry
over--polluted with samey acts. |
| 3 |  | Eluveitie
Origins
Folk-y pagan death metal. I'm generally a sucker for these sorts of things, after interviewing
Chris this album was made all the more enjoyable. |
| 4 |  | Aversions Crown
Tyrant
Mindless deathcore that sits in the 3.5/5 range. |
| 5 |  | Falls Of Rauros
Believe In No Coming Shore |
| 6 |  | Yob
Clearing The Path To Ascend
Masters of their craft. |
| 7 |  | Cannibal Corpse
A Skeletal Domain
So glad these guys have still got it. The riffs are still as fresh as they were twenty years ago. |
| 8 |  | Wreck and Reference
Want |
| 9 |  | Venowl
Patterns Of Failure
Tortured funeral doom, agonizing in its despair and failure. If you like the doom with twenty
minute tracks and the feels to boot, this is the shit for you. |
| 10 |  | Vaiya
Remnant Light
Bandcamp is a wonderful resource, Vaiya is a wonderful atmospheric album. |
| 11 |  | Under The Sun
Under The Sun |
| 12 |  | Thou
Heathen |
| 13 |  | Soilwork
Beyond The Infinite |
| 14 | | Sidious
Revealed in profane splendour
Kaotoxin have been on fire for years, that's not going to stop any time soon. With the
inclusion of the Colosus sole member behind the drum kit, Revealed In Profane Splendor is a
modern day death album that will play for years. |
| 15 |  | Septa
Destroyer |
| 16 |  | Saor
Aura
If there was ever an album of the year contender, this is one of them. |
| 17 |  | Revocation
Deathless |
| 18 |  | Profetus
As All Seasons Die |
| 19 |  | Nonpoint
The Return |
| 20 | | Nesseria
Fractures |
| 21 |  | MYRKUR
MYRKUR |
| 22 |  | Witch Mountain
Mobile Of Angels |
| 23 |  | Vinterbris
Solace |
| 24 |  | Vermin Womb
Permanence
Blackened violence. throatruinerrecords.com |
| 25 |  | Impetuous Ritual
Unholy Congregation Of Hypocritical Ambivalence
Shit Jac listens to. Possibly the year's best murk. |
| 26 |  | Impure Wilhelmina
Black Honey |
| 27 |  | Incantation
Dirges of Elysium
#2 Shit Jac listens to. Doesn't have the same impact as Vanquish In Vengeance but will still
rip the meat from your face given the chance. |
| 28 |  | Inferi
The Path Of Apotheosis
2014, the year of the death. |
| 29 | | Clouds
Doliu
Some albums resonate with you more than others, this is my current album of the year. |
| 30 |  | DOOM:VS
Earthless |
| 31 |  | Manes
Be All End All
Was not expecting this experimental show. Manes is not my normal musical venture. |
| 32 |  | Mastodon
Once More 'Round The Sun |
| 33 | | Morbid Crucifixion
Decaying Human Flesh
Bree Bree Sick Phallus Reviewer |
| 34 |  | Walk Through Fire
Hope Is Misery |
| 35 | | Ceremonial Castings
Cthulhu
Hail blackened Cthulhu |
| 36 | | Blue Pills
Blue Pills
How come all these albums look similar? |
| 37 |  | Bloodbath
GRAND MORBID FUNERAL
Too long between drinks for these guys. Personally I'm glad they kicked a few time wasting
members. |
| 38 |  | Arkan
Sofia
Not as death metal-ly as their past releases and all the better for it. |
| 39 |  | As We Draw
Mirages
Another quiet contender for your end of year lists. |
| 40 | | Downfall of Gaia
Aeon Unveils the Thrones of Decay
Moody. Bitchin' |
|
