Arche's crusty NYP van returns
God I hope this doesn't break on posting. Hope you guys find something to like on here! |
| 1 |  | Anagnorisis
Beyond All Light
Shit-off-a-shovel black metal: http://music.anagnorisis.com/album/beyond-all-light |
| 2 |  | Anchoress
Anchoress is Ruining My Life
Really neat metalcore/post-hardcore. Vocals are a smidge unique but pretty easy to get used to: https://anchoress.bandcamp.com/album/anchoress-is-ruining-my-life |
| 3 |  | Armenian Institute of Dance and Folklore
Armenia
You know those mornings when you wake up and want some Armenian folk music to dance to? Wish granted. There's Bulgarian and Greek ones too, but this is my favourite: https://yaledog.bandcamp.com/album/armenia |
| 4 |  | Arrows In Her
It Tired Me All The Same
Twinkly emo for twinkly times: https://brokenworldmedia.bandcamp.com/album/it-tired-me-all-the-same |
| 5 |  | Astralia
Atlas
Spanish post-rock. I mean, you already have a reasonable idea how this is gonna sound but it's still really good stuff - https://astralia.bandcamp.com/album/atlas |
| 6 |  | Bike Path
Blonde + Blue
St. Louis emo/post-hardcore. Some of this is better than other bits, but the bits that are good are really, really good - https://bikepath.bandcamp.com/track/blonde-blue |
| 7 |  | Black Tomb
Black Tomb
Filthy doom riffs and equally filthy vocals. Great fun if nowt else - https://blacktomb.bandcamp.com/album/black-tomb |
| 8 |  | Chepang
Lathi Charge
Check my review for (a bit more) info, but basically Nepalese grindcore that tears faces - https://nervealtar.bandcamp.com/album/lathi-charge |
| 9 |  | Dirtwire
Dirtwire
Really cool folky, trip-hoppy stuff. Can't remember who introduced me to this, but thanks! - https://dirtwiremusic.bandcamp.com/album/dirtwire |
| 10 |  | Funeralbloom
Petals
Furious blackgaze. Not a colossal amount stands out, but it's really solid stuff nevertheless - https://funeralbloom.bandcamp.com/ |
| 11 |  | Gleemer
Moving Away
I think this has some shoegaze influence but tbh I don't really know. Really nice, fuzzy rock/post-grunge/gaze/whatever - https://gleemer.bandcamp.com/album/moving-away |
| 12 |  | Hyponic
Forwarder
Cool funeral doom/drone/psych-y stuff from Hong Kong. Google Translate tells me the title translates to 'Forwarder' but if anybody speaks fluent Cantonese and wants to tell me otherwise, I'm all ears. - https://hyponic.bandcamp.com/album/- |
| 13 |  | Ithaca
Narrow The Way
Awesome little mathy emotional hardcore EP - https://ithacauk.bandcamp.com/album/narrow-the-way-2 |
| 14 |  | Itto
Itto
Awesome little mathy emotional hardcore EP [2]. Check out Pursuant as well, got released earlier this year - https://ittochicago.bandcamp.com/album/itt-2 |
| 15 |  | Hikrahe
Lily (The Wilt)
Really nice glitchy/downtempo stuff (I dunno tbh) from Pots, I believe - https://solarmasscollective.bandcamp.com/album/lily-the-wilt |
| 16 |  | Maneskjold
Kometen Kommer
If you like Hawkwind, you'll like this. Read my convoluted, round-about review on it for possibly a bit more info - https://maneskjold.bandcamp.com/album/kometen-kommer |
| 17 |  | Marietta
As It Were
Perhaps not the most original on this list, but As It Were is some great twinkly emo - https://whereismarietta.bandcamp.com/album/as-it-were |
| 18 |  | messFX
Motherboard
I'm not gonna embarrass myself by guessing the genre, but MercuryToHell's electronic project keeps improving with every release - https://messfx.bandcamp.com/ |
| 19 |  | Myotonia
Myotonia
Thanks to Mort for getting me on this unhinged, gloriously aggy piece of hardcore - https://myotonia.bandcamp.com/album/myotonia |
| 20 |  | Nature Trails
In Glass
Coldwave, 80s worship from Melbourne, Australia. Faithful but no less great - https://naturetrails.bandcamp.com/album/in-glass |
| 21 |  | Nionde Plågan
Frustration
A kinda screamo/hardcore/post-metal behemoth, this is rapidly becoming one of my favourite albums from 2015 - https://niondeplagan.bandcamp.com/album/frustration |
| 22 |  | Omega Massif
Geisterstadt
Given I've been listening to this for probably 6 years now, I can't believe it's not been on one of my lists yet. Really, really great instrumental post-metal, probably one of the finest of its kind - https://omegamassif.bandcamp.com/releases |
| 23 |  | ['selva]
eléo
While its name is clearly designed to make the listener hate everything, this blend of black metal and hardcore is, basically, nuts. One to strap yourself in for - https://selvapbs.bandcamp.com/ |
| 24 |  | Shrine Of Insanabilis
Disciples Of The Void
Really good example of the vaguely occult end of the black metal spectrum. Riffs excellently, not solely relying on immemorable tremolo picks (and tbh, even the tremolo-picked sections here are catchy) - https://wtcproductions.bandcamp.com/album/disciples-of-the-void |
| 25 |  | Silent Whale Becomes a Dream
Architeuthis
One 16 minute song, I put this on here as it's a great example of sad, shimmering post-rock. - https://silentwhale.bandcamp.com/album/architeuthis |
| 26 |  | Tauusk
Hunter
Requires A LOT of time (stretching over 2 hours), but really interesting droney metal. insomniac's review tells it way better - http://tauusk.bandcamp.com/album/hunter |
| 27 |  | The Psyke Project
Daikini
I reviewed Guillotine back in the summer, but I'll be damned if this doesn't absolutely destroy as well. Sludgey, hardcore, pissed-off goodness - https://thepsykeproject.bandcamp.com/album/daikini-full-album-captured-vinyl-sound-2005 |
| 28 |  | The Wayward
Plutonic
Weird stuff. Still taking this one in, but it's kinda bouncy noise rock/grind/experimental stuff I guess. Their moniker is somewhat fitting, really - https://nervealtar.bandcamp.com/album/plutonic |
| 29 |  | Viva Belgrado
Ulises
So I only found out today these guys have a new one out. Haven't listened yet, but Flores, Carne is a wonderful, wonderful screamo album and I'm sure this will be equally as amazing - https://vivabelgrado.bandcamp.com/album/ulises |
| 30 |  | Witch of the Waste
Made Of Teeth
Blackened hardcore with an emphasis on the hardcore (for once!) - https://witchofthewaste.bandcamp.com/album/made-of-teeth |
| 31 |  | Garroted
In the Court of Nyarlathotep
Thanks to pissbore for getting me on this one. Blackened death with excellent, EXCELLENT vocals - https://garroted1.bandcamp.com/releases |
