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. |
6 | | Below the Sun Alien World
The doom metal from their previous release has all but been deleted. |
7 | | BOG Unshriven
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. |
