Top 2010 discoveries which left me pissing praises and vomiting adulation. If you don't own these releases pick them up before old age makes you too feeble to appreciate them.
Negura Bunget - OM This may be the best album I've listened to in the past 5 years. Absolutely breath taking in every sense of the word. Worthy of a large summary of praise, if my cursor didn't erratically jump to and fro like a metalcore riff. Cunoașterea Tăcută is the anthem of the Gods!
Minsk - The Ritual Fires of Abandonment - Monolithic, hypnotic, leaves Out of a Center... to be a mere foot note in it's wake. Ceremony Ek Stasis is quarter hour journey through quasi post-core/doom with vocals lifted from beneath the apron strings of June Cleaver. There's something that comes off as very dated, yet modern in this closer. Without this track the album would be the Lakers without Kobe. Just 11 negars in baggy shorts. This recording must be listened to as a whole, as any good piece of music should. Fuck the ipod generation, fuck the apple store, and fuck those pencil neck faggots with the Al Borland plaid shirts and where's waldo beanies. This sets everything asunder. In the words of Robert Oppenheimer, "Few people laughed, few people cried, most people were destroyed by this album."
Neurosis - A Sun that Never Sets - Captivating, compounding minimalism to accomplish a hypnotic tapestry which fetters the listener through an hour of introspection. A soundtrack to one's own life, a book with a million endings. Up until a month ago, Moose had been touched more (not by me). Since that time, it's been on the receiving end of an audiogenic threesome. Left ear high fiving right ear as every note double penetrates. Magnificent! Tour de fucking Force!
Sadness - Ames De Marbre The most tasteful display of goth meshing with death/doom you'll come across. Spun a hundred times over, metal of this caliber and sincerity is a diamond amongst derivative coal. Released in '93, its still fairly easy to come by, as most metalheads are so fixated in listening to "what's hot", than a lost classic which never received the praise it rightfully deserved. Listen to Ghost faggoths, I'll be listening to Sadmess.
Weapon - Drakonian Paradigm More straight-forward than From the Devil's Tomb. An onslaught to the faculties in the name of Beelzebub, Mecca shall fall under a burning magic carpet!
M8L8TH - By the Wing of Black - Hail Hitler, Hail Gorbechev's fucked up forehead! Angry black metal which mocks Jews who observe the Sabbath by driving vehicles they refuse to park and elevators in which they'll ride in just as long as somebody else presses the button to the floor of their destination. Russia now has more than literature and genocide to hold their heads high to.
