1Immortal
At the Heart of Winter

immortal > darkthrone
2Esoctrilihum
Urionhsol (Seven Demons)

3Altarage

5Trist (CZ)
Zrcadlení melancholie

mmmmmmhhhhhhhhhh
6Ethereal Shroud
Trisagion

my 2021 aoty
7Xasthur
Subliminal Genocide

i do seem to have a preference for stuff that is either on the proggier side, or like this album, leans toward drone and ambient
8Darkthrone
A Blaze in the Northern Sky

ok a darkthrone album (my favorite of theirs) to appease you nerds and help guide the recs but if you rec me more darkthrone beware the consequences
9Toehider
I Like It!

***if one of your recs was evil enough, dope enough, bangin enough, et cetera it will appear below with perhaps even a blurb
10Sargeist
Let The Devil In

a rec from dewinged that was really quite good! i liked it! was only about 45 mins but did drag a little bit for some reason. still gets 4 out of 5 polygons. rips!
11Altar of Plagues
Teethed Glory and Injury

a rec from dedex. don't f*** with the irish!!!! 4 out of 5 polygons, though very close to 4.5
12Wintaar
Deathentrance

a rec from gnocchi. absolutely whips. 4 out of 5 polygons
13Yellow Eyes
Immersion Trench Reverie

a rec from CottonSalad, deathofasalesman. Given the proximity to krallice i was a bit skeptical of this but still felt intrigued to give it a go. i'm glad i did. definitely struggled at points but came out the other end really pleased with the journey, what can i say, this kind of thing is just really satisfying! 3.5 out of 5 polygons
14Wrath of the Weak
Wrath of the Weak

a rec from spirit. motherf***ing fuzz and despair. 4 out of 5 polygons, plus a gold star to spirit for the laser-focused rec
15Thantifaxath
Sacred White Noise

a rec from deez. un-holy cow this is so good. 4.5 out of 5 polygons
16Shining (SWE)
V - Halmstad

a rec from garas. one of the most dynamic and gorgeous metal albums i think i have ever heard. 4.5 out of 5 polygons
17Nameless Mist
Nameless Mist II

a rec from gnocchi. very solid dsbm, right up my alley. 4 out of 5 polygons
18Avenger
Feast of Anger / Joy of Despair

a rec from hyperion. real nice stuff with good synth work. 3.5 out of 5 polygons but close to 4. unrelated to my rating what the hell were they thinking with that album art LOL
