A Lurker's 2013.5
Holy shit, I have a lot of albums from 2013. Odd thing is, I've even managed to put a lot of listens into most of them. So here they are, unranked and shit. |
| 1 |  | Kanye West
Yeezus
Although I haven't listened to this at all. |
| 2 |  | Iron Reagan
Worse Than Dead |
| 3 |  | Darkthrone
The Underground Resistance
In which people finally decided new Darkthrone is okay |
| 4 |  | The Dillinger Escape Plan
One of Us is the Killer
Reduction of pinch harmonics |
| 5 |  | Letlive.
The Blackest Beautiful
pop music is getting fucking heavy. |
| 6 |  | Run the Jewels
Run the Jewels
the only other rap album I've gotten from this year. |
| 7 |  | The Ocean
Pelagial
That's not the sound of the ocean depths; it's the sound of crushing disappointment |
| 8 |  | Woe
Withdrawal
Have yet to listen to/10 |
| 9 |  | Children of God
We Set Fire to the Sky
in 2013 all hardcore is crust |
| 10 | | Thrawsunblat
Wanderer of the Continent of Saplings
woods of ypres sounds better with their singer dead and gone, unfortunate to say |
| 11 |  | Rorcal
Vilagvege
HEAR MY SWISS ANGST |
| 12 |  | Portal
Vexovoid
I really do love Portal and all but I can never remember a single part from any of their songs, and I've listened to this front to back like twenty times. |
| 13 |  | Wormed
Exodromos
I'm not old enough to remember when they hit the scene, so I prefer this times 10000000 over the debut. |
| 14 |  | Defeated Sanity
Passages into Deformity
A year of bests for death metal |
| 15 |  | Immolation
Kingdom of Conspiracy
Well, not for everybody. |
| 16 |  | Heaven Shall Burn
Veto
I legitimately mistake these guys for at the gates until I remember I cleared that pussy shit off my ipod |
| 17 |  | Cult of Luna
Vertikal |
| 18 |  | Church of Misery
Thy Kingdom Scum
Japan has a lot better psychedelic doom than the states. |
| 19 |  | Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats
Mind Control |
| 20 |  | Blockheads
This World is Dead
Stellar year for grind too |
| 21 |  | Rotten Sound
Species at War
And eps |
| 22 | | Lux Interna
There is Light in the Body, There is Blood in the Sun
One of two bands this year that sound like Swans to a tee; these guys represent 90s era. |
| 23 |  | Dreamdecay
N V N V N V
This is the other one, flexing their old-school-Swans style. |
| 24 |  | Melvins
Everybody Loves Sausages
One of the most exciting cover albums ever. Every song sounds like a proper Melvins track (besides You're My Best Friend) |
| 25 | | Boris
The Thing Which Solomon Overlooked Chronicles
I'm not sure if this is in the database. Other than Flood, this is totally their finest drone work, and one of my favorite Boris works all together. |
| 26 | | Boris
Präparat
Aaaaaand then there's this, Boris' worst. Oh well. |
| 27 |  | Terra Tenebrosa
The Purging |
| 28 |  | Alice in Chains
The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here
Alice in Chains fits in nicely with the sludge scene in the 21st century. |
| 29 |  | The Monolith Deathcult
Tetragrammaton
Huge disappointment. |
| 30 |  | Romero
Take the Potion
Totally forgot about this |
| 31 |  | Deafheaven
Sunbather
you know this is good but the vocals and major key are starting to get to me |
| 32 |  | Sufferinfuck/Mangle
Split
Grindcore karaoke has some sweet shit. |
| 33 | | The Drip
Wasteland 2.0
See 32; also the mix for this version is a lot bassier than the other, and therefore better |
| 34 |  | Psychofagist
Songs of Faint and Distortion
Don't tell these guys it's not 2006, they'll stop making awesome spazzcore |
| 35 |  | The Meads of Asphodel
Sonderkommando
the holocaust is p metal |
| 36 |  | Kongh
Sole Creation
I keep reading that this is average, but it's an awesome mix of post-length and doomy as fuck sludge. |
| 37 |  | Shit Luck
Slow Death
My shortest album of 2013 |
| 38 |  | Light Bearer
Silver Tongue
Fall of Efrafa was so much better. |

Rudiments of Mutilation |
| 42 |  | August Burns Red

Regnum Saturni
Disappointing as fuck |
| 45 |  | Ash Borer
Bloodlands
awesome as fuck |

Reach Beyond the Sun |
| 48 |  | Entrails
Raging Death
Best 2013 swemetal band |
| 49 |  | Svart Crown
Profane
not as awesome as I keep reading it is |
| 50 |  | Suffocation
Pinnacle of Bedlam
unfortunately I kinda find suffocation not as exciting as most of the bands that rip them off |
| 51 |  | Devourment
Conceived in Sewage
I WATCHED HIM DIEEEE |
| 52 |  | Cortez
Phoebus
throatruiner y u no release more albums this year |
| 53 |  | Shining
One One One |
| 54 |  | Tomahawk
Oddfellows |
| 55 | | Abyssal
Novit Enim Dominus Qui Sunt Eius
the implications of "blackened death metal" rarely live up to the reality |
| 56 |  | Guttural Secrete
Nourishing the Spoil
I guess in 2013 Guttural secrete took all of DEP's pinch harmonics |
| 57 |  | Kvelertak
Meir |
| 58 |  | My Bloody Valentine
