2020 #51-151
So this is pretty much going to close out my 2020. Naturally, there's going to be a lot left on the cutting room floor and there's enough leftover to make another 100 list easy. But I'll probably not do that. If I come across some stuff in my bookmarks I'm just going to add it to my top 50 since there's room on that. |
1 | | Draconian Under a Godless Veil
#51
This is really really good, glad I have it at least here. |
2 | | Bather Phantom Guilt
#52
Just heard this last night, but it's a puncher. Here's a link to the Bandcamp so you all can here it. It's 17 minutes. Let's go get heavy.

3 | | Aronious Perspicacity
#53
Weakest part for me is Self Induced Affliction and The Digital Age. |
4 | | Svart Crown Wolves Among The Ashes
#54
Impressive, to say the least. First time listener of the band. |
5 | | Dearth To Crown All Befoulment
#55
This was actually rather high up on my first Top 50 list, but some newer additions made me sacrifice the good spots, and I suppose one could say this is a little derivative but it still brings some good riffs, tones, and melodies a lá Dearth from Deathspell's Paracletus. Just with more of the emphasis on groove rather than frenetic puncturing. |
6 | | Sumac Two Beasts
#56
[EP] |
7 | | Exgenesis Solve et Coagula
#57
"Doom me." |
8 | | Haunt (USA-CA) Mind Freeze
#58
One of two full length releases last year, and this turned me on to his back catalog, but I did not like the other one that had come out last year, Flashback. This might be a little high here but it is enjoyable |
9 | | Deftones Ohms
#59 |
10 | | Omegavortex Black Abomination Spawn
#60 |

21 | | Unurnment Self-Immolation Suite

#73
[EP]
It's pretty standard but I still dig it. |
24 | | Amnutseba Emanatism
#74 |
25 | | Stomb From Nihil
#75
Instrumental djent that isn't all that bad even though it conforms too closely to the genre. |
26 | | Lamentari Missa Pro Defunctis
#76
I think I have the only vote on this, so check it out for some quick 20 minute orchestral BM. |
27 | | Deathwhite Grave Image
#77
Slipped under the radar I think but this has some great moody tracks on here. I have been meaning to come back to this and listen to it some more. |

39 | | Exhalants Atonement
#89 |
40 | | Spectrum of Delusion Neoconception

So if you made it this far, I was going to have Sodom - Genesis XIX close this out, until I gave this nutter of a listen last night. So here's the YouTube link and check this 12 minute seering blister of crazed vocalizings over some black death rippers and let me know what you think.
