Be(a)st of 2015

[D.o.S.]

Halfway mark on the calendar means we're good to go. As always, there are a bunch of albums that I haven't listened to yet, so this is definitely trawling for the general consensus on what's worth listening to this year.
So far, for me:

Leviathan's Scar Sighted
https://profoundlorerecords.bandcamp.co ... ar-sighted

Weedpecker's II
https://weedpecker.bandcamp.com/album/ii

Acid King's Middle of Nowhere, Center of Everywhere
https://acidking.bandcamp.com/releases

Elder's Lore:

Bong's We Are, We Were, And We Will Have Been:
https://ritualproductions.bandcamp.com/ ... ave-been-2

The half of the new High on Fire record I've heard certainly qualifies, as well.

But what am I missing, breaux? This is all pretty narrowly focused, and I'm sure there are other records that I should check out (even if you think they're good and secretly they are not).

No Spill Blood - Heavy Electricity

Marriages - Salome

Metz - II
https://metz.bandcamp.com/album/ii

[neonblack]

(even if you think they're good and secretly they are not).

[D.o.S.]

That Metz record is pretty FIYAH FIYAH FIYAH.

Also I totally spaced on Cherubs because I suck. Unlike their new record, which is phenomenal:

In fact, if you liked that Metz album, you will definitely like this one.

New sannhet, new prurient, new locrian, the couch slut debut was HOT FIRE, new cloud rat, new failures, new botanist ep, new ghost bath (FUCK YOU DOS ITS GOOD), new mastery, uuuuuuh I honestly didn't think the new torche was good...which to be honest i really don't think torche is that good anymore at all. They have two songs per cd at best. New the armed is pretty siq. The two burzum singles this year were hot fire. New gnaw their tongues...new vietah, NEW ARSTIDIR LIFSINS

[neonblack]

Oh man, this shit is fucking killer.

Now listen to No Spill Blood

Gawd yes.

Thanks for reminding me that I have to check the new Acid King, too.

I've already posted elsewhere, but the new Weaks is the finest power pop I've heard in quite a while:

[SPACERITUAL]

fUCK I FORGOT THAT CHERUBS TOO

[D.o.S.]

Oh man, this shit is fucking killer.

Now listen to No Spill Blood

While I didn't wake up today thinking "you know, I wonder what it would sound like if Chimaira covered the Tron soundtrack" now I know.

I dug.

[neonblack]

Shit gets me pumped. It's the kind of music that makes me look down and realize I'm going 15 over the speed limit.

[resincum]

so much good shit has dropped this year; I am currently digging the hell out of The Body & Thou's collab. fat dab of riffs

[SPACERITUAL]

See the problem is i never remember when i bought anything. I was about to respond to this thread with stuff i bought in 2011.
