Zealotry and Malevolent Creation are going to release albums this year
I've been out of the loop and am trying to get back into metal. What are some good albums released recently I should listen to?
The new Priest record
Corrosion of Conformity
Obscura
These are all from this year. Main recommendation:
Droid - Terrestrial Mutations (progressive thrashpunk)
Some others:
Bestial Invasion - Contra Omnes (progressive/tech thrash)
Marduk - Viktoria (obviously black metal)
Visigoth - Conqueror's Oath (heavy/power)
Tomb Mold - Manor of Infinite Forms (death metal)
Power Trip - Nightmare Logic (thrash metal)
Wytch Hazel - II: Sojourn (traditional heavy metal/70's proto-metal)
Aura Noir - Aura Noire (black/thrash)
Storrsson - Celtic Legends Volume 1 (epic/heavy/power/folk)
Drawn and Quartered - The One Who Lurks (death metal)
Runemagick - Evoked From Abysmal Sleep (death/doom)
Panphage - Jord (black metal)
Ataraxy - Where All Hope Fades (death/doom)
Oxygen Destroyer - Bestial Manifestations of Malevolence and Death (death/thrash)
Nachash - Phantasmal Triunity (black metal)
Ancient Empire - Eternal Soldier (heavy metal)
Ice Sword - Dragon Magic (epic power metal)
Condor - Unstoppable Power (thrash metal)
Hopefully you find something enjoyable in there. Not quite sure what you're into specifically so I tried to post a really diverse list. I have one non-metal recommendation too:
Maggot Heart - Dusk to Dusk
Linnéa Olsson from The Oath, Beastmilk and Sonic Ritual's new band. Hard rock/post-punk/proto-metal or something like that.
LOL Slough Feg using the fucking Papyrus font!
