listen.20buckspin.com

Artificial Brain - Self-titled


Undeath - It's Time... To Rise from the Grave


Tómarúm - Ash in Realms of Stone Icons

 

[BlackMastodon]

Conjurer - Páthos
Cave In - Heavy Pendulum

This thread reminded me that I need to listen to the new Cult of Luna, Greg Puciato, and Hath, though, since I'm sure they'll be on my list for the end of the year. Also just found out there's new Brutus tunes coming out so that will also most likely make my AOTY list.

 

[BlackMastodon]

1. New Hath album beats ass.
2. My buddy just sent me this one from Wake yesterday and I think this is gonna be my AOT for sure:

 

[budda]

I think the only 2022 release i have been listening to is Cave In…

 

[VisionSwords]

The only album that comes to mind that has gotten consistent plays is the new Artificial Brain album (self titled). It keeps up what they've established on their previous albums; sci-fi themed death metal with inhumanly low vocals and a touch a black metal, all while having a very raw, "live" sound.

It's not out yet but the new single Psycroptic just released "A Fool's Errand" makes me very hopeful that this will be an AOTY candidate.

 

[VisionSwords]

Also have to throw the new Knoll album "Metempiric" on here; great, grindy death metal.

 

[TheBolivianSniper]

nobody throwing up the new Fit for an Autopsy album

Holy FUCK it's the pinnacle of that wall of sound modern production trend, I don't think I've heard an entire album just sound so heavy in a while

 

[Alberto7]

I don't listen to nearly as much music as I used to, but of what I've heard this year I've really liked:

Bad Omens - The Death of Peace of Mind
Steve Vai - Inviolate
Porcupine Tree - Closure/Continuation

 

[CLONE]

Fit For An Autopsy - Oh What The Future Holds
Monuments - In Stasis

 

[Ross82]

nobody throwing up the new Fit for an Autopsy album

Holy FUCK it's the pinnacle of that wall of sound modern production trend, I don't think I've heard an entire album just sound so heavy in a while

Oh What The Future Holds - Fit For An Autopsy

Without question the best album I've heard in a very, very long time. FFAA in general are absolutely brilliant.

 

[porkchopexpres81]

Blackwater Drowning - Sonder//Satori

 

[Spicypickles]

New monuments was great, as was new Rammstein.

The meshuggah album is the first that’s actually made me disappointed and I’ve always looked forward to their releases for over 20 years now

 

[Riff the Road Dog]

AAL -Parrhesia
Ty Tabor - Shades
