Glad to see they're continuing the Mozart motifs. The Confutatis riff/solo on Remote Tumour
Seeker was a highlight of Relentless Mutation and the full-on Lacrimosa jam that is Reverie
on the Onyx is spectacular here. This album is nearly flawless, going to be spinning this
one on the reg til I die. |

Adam Cody again proves he's the best in the game. Those straight-up Corpsegrinder lows on
the closing track are incredible. The Wes Hauch solos are an excellent touch as well. 17
years later, they've still got it in them, didn't miss a beat. That ending on For the Living
is probably the best thing deathcore has seen in over a decade. |
| Gojira From Mars to Sirius |
| Flying Whales is a metal classic. Backbone is probably the most entrancing metal song that isn't by Meshuggah. What an excellent record |

| Dude is a ****ing genius and absolutely hysterical. Can't get enough of this album. |

I think Kneecaps might unironically be the best song of the 2020's and Microwave actually
brought me to tears |
| Joel Lindfors Atopia |
Insane that this wasn't in the database. Absolute madness release, probably my favorite
from 2020.
