All the albums from the first half of the year that I really dug, accompanied by a recommended track for each (Spotify playlist in the comments). Everything is a 4 or higher. Top 10 are ranked, the rest is alphabetical.
yeah combination metal is just a term i made up for metal that takes significant elements from a bunch of different subgenres. both Kaleikr and Inter Arma have bits of death, black, doom, and prog metal in the mix.
it’s like combination fried rice - there’s just too many meats in there to include them all in the name
you deleted my comment that was basically me asking why you don't have an awesome album from this year (that i was fairly certain you said you liked in the thread)
