Hardcore incel nerd metal right here:
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
Was probably mentioned here at some point but - any Ghost fans here? Being well into my 30's now it's rare that I get into music after like 2010, especially mainstream stuff, but these guys definitely have some appealing tracks. Very Opeth-esque with more melody which I like, maybe a touch of doom laden metal in there too. Can sound borderline poppy at times but it's catchy and heavy, which at the end of the day is all I care about.

Just noticed this latest post.. That's a bummer, wasn't huge on Pantera, but Vinnie was a one of a kind talented drummer. As a (amateur) drummer myself I'm sad to hear this. Man, Pantera's gone through quite a bit of tragedy between Dimebag and now Vinnie..

Absolutely! When I saw the news the other day I actually got super giddy, and some of the guest vocalists too... yes! :D |
I know. I can't wait. I'm gonna pre-order one of the bundles.
So we're over four months into 2019 now. What metal albums have you enjoyed this year thus far?
- The new Swallow the Sun has been a standout. Feels like their most accessible album yet but the song writing is still top notch.
- Soilwork appear to have blended their sound with Bjorn's Night Flight Orchestra project on Verkligheten. The result is pretty damn good.
- Children of Bodom's Hexed is another solid effort with some quality standouts in "This Road", "Glass Houses" and the title track.
- Lahmia are a melodic death metal band I have come across who've released a strong album in Resilience (their first in around eight years IIRC).
- Extreme metal supergroup Vltimas delivered the goods with their debut. Very easy for these sorts of projects to fall flat on their face.
- Skeletoon lead the power metal category with the ultra catchy and melodic They Never Say Die.
- Nightrage continue to be a dependable melodeath monster with Wolf to Man
Major disappointments from Avantasia, Battle Beast and Rotting Christ.
Unanimated's Ancient God of Evil is a classic. I recommend it to any fan of death or black metal, particularly the melodic varieties.
