Top albums of 2015

[Draehl]

You listed Akhlys. The rest of the list is awesome by proxy. I need to check a couple of those out, but didnt like the Krallice.

 

[JontRevolting]

Todesstoss - Hirngemeer is fucking crazy and brilliant and turned out to be one of my favourite releases of last year.

 

[Krow]

The only thing I like about that Krallice album is that the title sounds like stupid noises.

As I'm usually just like "eh" with Krallice I was really surprised by how much I dug the sound on this one.

 

[EspaDa]

Is that recent Deafheaven album superior to Sunbather? I was really put off by the latter.

I'm pretty well the opposite. I dig most of their other stuff, particularly dimensional bleedthrough. It has such an otherworldly twisted sound.

Digging the kauan pretty well so far. Never heard them before.

 

[JontRevolting]

That Kauan album cover is almost identical to another album that was released earlier last year and a concept album based on the Dyatlov Incident which I can't remember the name of but have been meaning to check it out.
Edit: that might actually be the one?

Dude, check out Lumikuuro, it's their best before this came along. And harsher. Also be sure to check out that Dead to a Dying World album, atmospheric and heavy.

SFK, it's the one and the same.

 

[JontRevolting]

I knew it was a different album but almost exact same cover and sounds like the same concept(Dyatlov Incident). The one I'm thinking of is Elorsith '1959'
And here is the Kauan cover.

 

[dwellerINTHEdark]

What the hell, that's quite the coincidence Kauan. That came out in 2014. Gonna check it out now.

 

[JontRevolting]

Yeah I remember the Ellorsith piqued my interest being on Dark Descent and with the description of the music and being interested in the Dyatlov Pass Incident and when I saw that Kauan cover 6 months or so later I couldn't believe it and having the same concept.

 

[dwellerINTHEdark]

Ellorsith is solid death/black. Running time was short but a very enjoyable listen.
