September Digs
A list of albums I’ve been listening to during the month of September. Favorite tracks and overall album rating included. Feel free to argue with me or provide recs… |
| 1 |  | Slugdge
Esoteric Malacology
4 of 5; Clean vox can sound a bit too power metal-ly for me at time, but not bad enough to keep me from enjoying the album
Fav Tracks: The Spectral Burrows, Putrid Fairytale |
| 2 |  | Black Crown Initiate
The Wreckage of Stars
3.5 of 5; felt a bit long but still solid
Fav Tracks: This Human Lie Manifest, Withering Waves |
| 3 |  | The Black Dahlia Murder
Nightbringers
4 of 5; the groovy on this album is infectious
Fav Tracks: Widowmaker, Nightbringers, Catacomb Hecatomb |
| 4 |  | Archspire
Bleed the Future
4.5 of 5; one of the few good things to come from the pandemic, everything just feels bigger on this album compare to their previous release
Fav Tracks: Drone Corpse Aviator, Acrid Canon, Bleed the Future, Golden Mouth of Ruin |
| 5 |  | Kardashev
Peripety
3.5 of 5; it's always nice to listen to music with a positive theme, a death metal album with lyrics revolving around peace and love. Who would have thought…
Fav Tracks: Conscium |
| 6 |  | Gojira
From Mars to Sirius
3.5 of 5; Heavy, proggy, but a chore to get through at times
Fav Tracks: Where Dragons Dwell, Backbone, From the Sky |
| 7 |  | Latitudes
Agonist
3.5 of 5; solid, somber post-metal album
Fav Tracks: Antechamber |
| 8 |  | Greyhaven
Empty Black
3.5 of 5; this will probably grow on me; vox put me in mind of of Greg Puciato
Fav Tracks: Echo and Dust Pt. 1 |
| 9 |  | Beneath the Massacre
Fearmonger
4 of 5; I’m not sure if this is tech death metal or deathcore, I just know it is solid. Glad I revisited this

| 10 |  | Down
NOLA
5 of 5; Sludge metal classics
Fav Tracks: Lifer, Rehab, Bury Me in Smoke |
| 11 |  | Crowbar
Sonic Excess in Its Purest Form
5 of 5; the fucking riffs on this things; sheesh
Fav Tracks: To build a Mountain, Repulsive in its splendid beauty |
| 12 |  | Dying Fetus
Reign Supreme
3.5 of 5; first grindcore album I’ve ever made it through. Definitely a fun listen from beginning to end
Fav Tracks: The Blood of Power |
| 13 |  | Tearmyself
Eternal Suffering
3 of 5; these guys released a single with Zao that was interesting, and might be a group to check for in the future.
