DDD's 2025 picks

in the making...
1Agriculture
The Spiritual Sound


Blackgaze, Experimental, Indie Rock

The winner subgenre for ’25 is without a doubt blackgaze. These kids broke away from the pack, refusing to be another Deafheaven, carving a path of their own. A fresh sound, raw and hungry, often overwhelming and hopeful.

Recd Track - The Reply
2Deafheaven
Lonely People With Power


Blackgaze

The band surely took its time on me. This album encapsulates everything I love about Deafheaven and climaxes the band's journey while also reconnecting with their earlier sound.

Recd Track - Revelator
3Rosalia
Lux


Pop

I don’t know. She clearly set out to outdo herself, it shows and it works. A modern pop masterpiece, organic, confident and meticulously crafted.

Recd Track - Berghain
4Ethel Cain
Willoughby Tucker, I'll Always Love You


Dream Pop, Indie Folk

A wrecking piece of art. Songs that bring you to tears, wrapped in a thick atmosphere.

Recd Tracks - Nettles, Dust Bowl
5Deftones
private music


Alternative Metal

They're breathing so well, either live and on record. Another fantastic piece that gives this middle-aged old fan exactly what he wants, while also drawing in a whole new generation.

Recd Tracks - milk of the madonna, cut hands
6Hooded Menace
Lachrymose Monuments of Obscuration


DeathDoom Metal

A spiritual successor to Ossuarium Silhouettes Unhallowed, yet setting the tone for a new Hooded Menace era, this time with a clear ’80s rock flair and worship. I’ve been a fan of the band forever, and they do no wrong.

Recd Track - Into Haunting Oblivion
7Conjurer
Unself


Post Metal, Sludge

So damn heavy! So damn emotional!

Rec Track - Let Us Live
8Imperial Triumphant
Goldstar


Black Metal, Avant-Garde

This album climbed its way up to become my second favorite Imperial Triumphant. Colin Marston’s mastery shines through once again, with Krallice-like bass tones, numerous Krautrock influence and prog insanity.

Recd Tracks - Gomorrah Noveaux, Hotel Sphinx
