teamsters post - "whatever" 2017 list
Narrowing down my favorite post - metal, rock, hardcore, black, punk, death, grunge, etc albums for 2017. I am using Sput as a moderator. I hope you don't mind me sharing....and tell me what I missed. |
| 1 |  | Allochiria
Throes
Greek post metal band with female vox and a great sophomore release. |
| 2 |  | Amenra
Mass VI
Band can do no wrong. |
| 3 |  | Archivist
Construct
Interesting concoction of sub-genres. |
| 4 |  | Au-Dessus
End of Chapter
My 2017 AOTY. Go listen. |
| 5 |  | Antarktis
Illdaante
In Mourning band members go post. |

The doom metal from their previous release has all but been deleted. |

A post metal concept album? Yes please. |
| 8 |  | Breag Naofa
II
I need to visit the pacific northwest. So much good music. |
| 9 |  | Cranial
Dark Towers, Bright Lights
4 songs, 45 minutes. Monolithic. |
| 10 |  | Dystopian Future Movies
Time
Atmosphere and aura illuminated by haunting female vox. |
| 11 |  | Everything Flows
Aphelion
The texture on this album separates it from the rest of the "same shit different band" stuff. |
| 12 |  | Glare Of The Sun
Soil
Austrian post metal with some pinches of doom and melody. |
| 13 |  | Gloson
Grimen
Top tier because it actually sounds like post metal I haven't heard yet. Fresh. |
| 14 |  | Great Ytene
Locus
This actually did pretty well in the post-punk off competition here at Sput. |
| 15 |  | Guantanamo Party Program
III
Poland has the best band name on the list playing noisy but coherent post metal. |
| 16 |  | Hubris
Apocryphal Gravity
My 2017 post rock AOTY. |
| 17 |  | Ire Wolves
Heirs
Minnesota post metal, ya der hey. |
| 18 |  | Impure Wilhelmina
Radiation
Katatonia comparisons surfacing. I can see it. |
| 19 |  | L'Effondras
Les Flavescences
Instrumental post metal capped off with a 25 minute masterpiece. |
| 20 |  | Lodz
Time Doesn't Heal Anything
The best produced album on the list. |
| 21 |  | Lvmen
Mitgefangen Mitgehangen
Biggest surprise. Had no idea they were making new music. Go check their entire discog. |
| 22 |  | Bask
Ramble Beyond
Post Americana. |
| 23 |  | Mursa
Ectopic
Doom/sludge with incredible vocals. |
| 24 |  | November Might Be Fine
South
Poland has become a post powerhouse. |
| 25 |  | Our Ceasing Voice
Free Like Tonight
Not for everyone. Good luck. |
| 26 |  | Palmer
Surrounding The Void
My grower of the year. Took multiple listens to realize how good this is. |
| 27 |  | Process of Guilt
Black Earth
Criminally underrated Portuguese band. Check Faemin too. |
| 28 |  | ROSK
Miasma
Heavy and crushing post black. |
| 29 |  | Rosetta
Utopioid
More Armine ambience, less Armine screams. Unusual design choice. King Ivory Tower is my SOTY. |
| 30 |  | Set and Setting
Reflectionless
Instrumental post metal like Pelican. Silky-smooth atmosphere. |
| 31 |  | Show of Bedlam
Transfiguration
More doomy and sludgy but the female vox is the deal maker. Subrosa comes to mind. |
| 32 |  | Sleepmakeswaves
Made Of Breath Only
One of the best post rock bands on the planet. |
| 33 |  | Sól
Upheaval
More from the pacific northwest. |
| 34 |  | Sunrot
Sunnata
Amazing sound from this New Jersey based post metal outfit. |
| 35 |  | The Death Of Money
Ghost Pains
Repetitive and droning, I listened to this a ton during the first half of the year. |
| 36 |  | The Mute Gods
Tardigrades Will Inherit The Earth
A huge project from this supergroup that's more avantgarde and progressive. |
| 37 |  | The Throne
Frail Threads
Hints of crust punk on this dark, short and sweet LP from yep, you guessed it, Poland. |
| 38 |  | Tombs
The Grand Annihilation
Mike Hill stripped all the black metal off in favor of an elementary sounding sludgy romp. I like it. |
| 39 |  | Ufomammut
8
Masters of the quirky sludge, psyche, stoner scene. |
| 40 |  | Viscera
3 | Release Yourself Through Desperate Rituals
Saved one of the best for last. So much going on in the music. Black, sludge, post...a terrific mixture put together so fluidly. Runner up 2017 AOTY. |
