Another crunchy name-your-price bag o' fun
20 more name-your-price albums that can be found on the treasure trove that is Bandcamp. Bit more of a mix on this one than on my previous two, hope people still find something worthwhile! |
| 1 |  | Akelei
De Zwaarte van het Doorstane
Dutch funeral doom with clean vocals (also in Dutch), an unusual feature within the genre. Simple yet wonderful stuff - https://akelei.bandcamp.com/album/de-zwaarte-van-het-doorstane |
| 2 |  | The Civil Dead
Arctolatry
A peculiar EP combining punk, goth, lo-fi, indie folk and some doom... all within less than 20 minutes - https://civildead.bandcamp.com/album/arctolatry-ep |
| 3 |  | Baryon
Inauguration
Impressive German post-metal debut that sounds like if Precambria-era The Ocean listened to Explosions In The Sky a few times - https://baryontheband.bandcamp.com/releases |
| 4 |  | The Nepalese Temple Ball
Arbor
Doom metal with a heavy stoner/psychedelic influence from Bournemouth, UK. Can be a bit of a tough slog depending on mood (it clocks in at around 63 minutes) but the reward comes in a mountain of atmosphere and substantial riffs - https://thenepalesetempleball.bandcamp.com/ |
| 5 |  | Siberian Hell Sounds
A Cult Will Rise
Technically a compilation, this is an impressive blackened hardcore album that, while occasionally falling into 'heard this before' territory, carries through with such aggression and intensity that it doesn't really matter. While this is released on Art As Catharsis, the rest of their discography can be found on their own Bandcamp - https://artascatharsis.bandcamp.com/album/a-cult-will-rise |
| 6 |  | Shell
Dreamphone
Pleasantly spaced dream-pop/shoegaze from North Carolina. Not all that clued up on the genre but it sounds chilled and generally fantastic so it's well worth a listen - https://shelled.bandcamp.com/album/dreamphone |
| 7 |  | Plague Mother
Lavender In Flame
Piercing, unrelenting heavy electronics. This one features primarily ear-splitting high-register segments interspersed with white noise, while others take a slightly more 'walled' approach; it changed my opinion on the genre, so it may do the same for you - https://plaguemother.bandcamp.com/album/lavender-in-flame |
| 8 |  | Glitterbomb
Hive Mind
Fast and aggressive hardcore/powerviolence that scratches an itch for something... well, fast and aggressive. No frills really, but great fun to listen to - https://glitterbomb.bandcamp.com/album/hive-mind-3 |
| 9 |  | Birthday Girl
Rituals
An interesting mixture of trip-hop/downtempo and post-rock with a wide range of well-used instrumentation - https://smacmusic.bandcamp.com/album/rituals |
| 10 |  | Chalmers
All The Songs Sung Wrong
Neat full-length from Pennsylvanian screamo outfit Chalmers. Not anything special as such, but very well executed and that's all you can really ask - https://werechalmers.bandcamp.com/ |
| 11 |  | Blank Spell (PA)
7"
Over-and-done-with in just under 8 minutes, this EP from female-fronted hardcore group Blank Spell has a surprising amount to offer despite its no-nonsense appearance - https://blankspell.bandcamp.com/album/7 |
| 12 |  | Caged Grave
Gutless
Even faster than the above, of the ten tracks here only two stretch over a minute (by 1 second and 5 seconds each, it's hardly by much either), and four are less than 30 seconds. The description that got me to check it was along the lines of 'like Nails, but shorter' and that should tell you all you need to know - https://cagedgrave.bandcamp.com/album/gutless |
| 13 |  | WVRM
Swarm Sound
Really great powerviolence full-length. Not much else to say other than the guitar tone on this is magnificent - https://cagedgrave.bandcamp.com/album/gutless |
| 14 |  | Pulo Reve
e
Progressive post-hardcore from St. Albans in the UK. While the vocals have a distinctly Enter Shikari feel about them on occasion, this has some fantastic song writing across the album, notably during the choruses - https://puloreve.bandcamp.com/album/- |
| 15 |  | Closet Witch
Black Salt
Grind/hardcore outfit from Iowa. Untidy, noisy and with more aggression than a pissed-off hippo, this isn't winning any beauty contests any time soon even by the genre's standards but it's great fun to liste to - https://closetwitch.bandcamp.com/album/black-salt-ep |
| 16 |  | Locomotora
This very holding back
From possibly the ugliest on this list to possibly the prettiest, Finnish post-rock group Locomotora's 'This very holding back' is typical of the genre but beautiful in doing so - https://locomotoraband.bandcamp.com/album/this-very-holding-back |
| 17 |  | Echoes of the Moon
Entropy
Ambitious Wolves In The Throne Room style black metal from... Indiana, surprisingly. Despite being a lot to take in this works fantastically if you're a fan of the genre, maintaining a refreshing amount of focus in a style that too frequently gets lost in itself - https://echoesofthemoon.bandcamp.com/album/entropy |
| 18 |  | The All Seeing Hand
Mechatronics
If you've ever woken up one day and thought 'you know what would go well together? Punk, bassy electronic music and throat singing' then you're either lying or incredibly weird. Despite this, it exists, and is... quite fantastic, to be honest. Waaaaaaay more than just a simple curiosity - https://the-all-seeing-hand.bandcamp.com/album/mechatronics |
| 19 |  | Osoluna
Osoluna
Spanish-language emotional hardcore with heavy post-rock influences. A very impressive debut full length which can be found here as well as on 13 other record labels (I think) - https://samegreyrecords.bandcamp.com/album/osoluna |
| 20 |  | Carnist
Hellish
Vegan crust punk from the United Kingdom, featuring Alex CF from Fall of Efrafa, Archivist and his ~3000 other projects. Stands above many others in the genre by being fantastic lyrically and having a good dealing going on musically too - https://carnist.bandcamp.com/album/hellish |
