| Agalloch The White |
| Perfect for a sunny day, heralding the onset of spring and summer, consistent and flows flawlessly. A bit melancholic, but more so in a nostalgic, beautiful way. Great album to reflect on, the music is very emotional and atmospheric and speaks for itself, no vocals needed here. Recommended for a walk in nature, perhaps in an enhanced state of mind. |
| Cradle of Filth Damnation and a Day |
| Dir En Grey Kisou |
| Absolutely overflowing with energy and emotion, be it of anger, sorrow or sexuality; Dir en grey perhaps at their most passionate. Very bipolar and experimental, keeps your attention throughout the listening experience. Exotic and diverse musical ideas, interesting lyrical themes and flawless, yet vulnerable, vocals to express them. Has a very electric and mystical atmosphere, but is still warm and in your face. Loosen your possible prejudices and surrender to the raging energy that is Kisou. |
| Opeth My Arms, Your Hearse |
| An all-time favourite of yours truly. Rainy, melancholic, brutal yet extremely beautiful. Very consistent, no weak spots to be mentioned. The music goes hand in hand with the lyrical concept and timeline of four seasons. An emotional journey, very passionate and to the brim with raw emotion. The distant, almost cold production perfectly complements the music and enhances its mystical and organic nature. Recommended for anyone with a taste for atmospheric, genuine music. |
