Heavy Music

We’re essentially at the end of the year, and I don’t think there are any notable releases still to come – so I thought it was time to have a look over at the Empath top releases of the year, as ranked by metal-archives reviews
Everything with a score >= 85.0:

Not very heavy, but I don’t know where else this would belong: the new Ghost album is out. I gave it a listen, it was a fun time.

my favorite heavy band of recent memory has arisen to bless us this decade

I would describe them as the intersection of artsy euro metal stuff & punchy post hardcore. think oathbreaker meets gouge away.

screeching but deep punky vocals with soaring melodic singing parts that could fill a parking lot. fast chaotic drums. atmospheric guitar riffs that can get chuggy when appropriate. & honestly the best bass in current heavy music imo very groovy & very belgian (or so I’ve heard, idk really know much about what’s goin on there musically tbh)

jaws thank you so much for sharing this. First I’ve heard of them. They’ll be on repeat all day/week.

I blew a tire on a flood-warped Houston curb pulling over for an ambulance a couple days ago. The new one was expensive as heck. I scuffed the bottom of my recently replaced bumper too. Cars suck.

Luckily my partner just perordered this for me to cheer me up. One of my favorite albums of 2020. I don’t even have a record player, I’m just excited to stare at the big artwork and pretty blue and purple while I listen for the 300th+ time.

My bestest mate in the whole wide worlds band released their new album today. If you like gloomy doomy sludgy stuff it is well worth a listen. Love a big old riff!
