| 1 |  | Every Time I Die
Low Teens
List is recent(ish) jams
Just As Real But Not As Brightly Lit contender for grooviest riff in hxc |
| 2 |  | The Ocean Collective
Aeolian
The most chugs you'll ever hear outside of dxc
Big heavy |
| 3 |  | Culling the Weak
Culling the Weak
Legit the apex of mid-late 2000s mxc
Shredding solos, hella deep growls and laughable prebreakdown lines that are delivered with enough sincerity to still be immensely charming. What a grand era man |
| 4 |  | Grand Belial's Key
Judeobeast Assassination
Riffing their way straight into the holocaust
Nazism bad but riffs good. |
| 5 |  | Obscure Sphinx
Void Mother
Harrowing post metal with an almost tribal atmosphere? Tbh this might be the most from-the-heart post metal I've heard as every croon, every stark scream and even the broken whispers are delivered with beautiful and frightening conviction. Also the riffs are heffy. Gud shite |
| 6 |  | Northlane
Discoveries
Best Northlane easily imo, so subtly intricate and has probably the best moments of glory in modern mxc (I.e the breakdown in Dispossesion or the weird vocal glitch deal in Transcending Dimensions) |
| 7 |  | Angra
Rebirth
Vibrant and cheesy Brazilian Power metal with just enough of the countries sounds permeating to make it unique. Also one of the first metal bands I actually got into (prolly 6-7 years ago???). For sure among my first 15 |
| 8 |  | Avenged Sevenfold
City of Evil
After hearing a discord bud stating the controversial opinion of this being a power metal album ive seen this in a totally different light. This is just fun, winding slightttly mxc influenced power metal with enough hooks and ease of listening to make it onto the radio. Also amongst my first bands ever as 14 y/o me can be seen standing atop scrawny chicken legs with osiris shoes and a incredibly corny A7X t shirt on the daily. I was very cool then. |
| 9 |  | Logistic Slaughter
Corrosive Ethics
Gutturals deeper than the goddamn Mariana Trench and guitar work that sounds like Atheist on both uppers and downers. It's o k |
