Everything Sucks (Except For These Records from 2020)

[D.o.S.]

As listed. The world is on fire. There are no gigs. We're all stuck without these things for an indeterminate amount of time. So. What have been been blasting that's new?


OvO - Miasma

NSFW: show

The lazy approach would be to say "don't you wish The Body or Gnaw Their Tongues were more Italian and a lot more noise rock", but OvO do tread in stylistically similar waters (and are of a similar vintage, starting in the 00's). I've had their album with Nadja kicking around my flat since that album came out which was - holy shit, 11 years ago - but this is significantly more aggressive and a bit more uptempo.

Bonus:
Headless Kross - Projections II

NSFW: show

Yeah. It came out in December of 2019. I don't care. You should listen to this record and not care either. A+ psych-y shouty doom from Glasgow. Love everything about this band.

Sepultura - Quadra

NSFW: show

I like every era of Sepultura more than most people I've ever met, and while the Derrick Green era has some gems (Roorback is a banger), this is easily the best Sep record in 25 years (harr harr easy jokes for the KVLT metal folks here). It's a total monster. The riffs are sick. The production is sick. The whole world is sick with Coronavirus and Brazil in particular looks like they're on a somewhat unique trajectory to be particularly fucked, but this record is everything good about metal and metal-adjacent things. Andreas Kisser should replace Bolsonaro right around yesterday as president.

They've linked to the spotify on their website and I can't find the bandcamp, so here's the link:

So, uh, what else have we got?

Not going to lie, I've only listened to a bunch of albums from 2020, still this ones seem good

Old Man Gloom - Seminar IX: Darkness Of Being
The usual Old Man Gloom powerful and well arranged stuff. Huge sounds. I wasn't very excited after the first listen but after the second one it started to grow a lot, probably my favorite album of 2020 so far, and there's a second album coming at the end of May.

Greg Dulli - Random Desire
There's something in Greg Dulli way of singing that always haunts me, and this album is no exception. Solid songwriting that excels when the tracks are less guitar-oriented and leave more space to other instruments.

Juce B Crypts - Battles
Honestly i had zero expectation for this one, turns out it's a pretty good album, focused on what they do best. The two-piece mentality surely helped.

Ghosts V-IV - Nine Inch Nails
Hey, don't judge me, i'm a sucker for Nine Inch Nails, even when they just do the same thing they occasionally did for 20+years for album intermissions and EPs like in this albums: instrumental melodies and ambience sounds, all highlighted by a really good production. I feel like half of the tracks sound like i already heard them, but i like it nonetheless. Not the best album of 2020, but a good soundtrack.

Next on my list are the new albums from Envy and Bohren & Der Club Of Gore, still have to listen to those.

OvO - Miasma

Still haven't approached this one, but their latest one "Creatura" was pretty good.

[coldbrightsunlight]

Oh yeah I forgot about OMG. Good stuff. The NIN records are ok. I liked VI a lot more than V. Ooooo there's new B&DCoG?

[Dowi]

I liked VI a lot more than V

same, i felt VI was more "original" than V.
Also yes, the new Bohren came out in january, but i forgot about it and it came to my mind only earlier today when i read this thread title

these are thee sickest records to come out so far.

[tremolo3]

It sucks.

[D.o.S.]

For some reason I was sure this record came out last winter, but it definitely qualifies for this list:
https://midnight-ohio.bandcamp.com/albu ... -blasphemy

NSFW: show

If you don't know Midnight, you know everything you need to know from the artwork. The first track is called Fucking Speed And Darkness.

We're going to need a bigger case of cheap beer.

My friend and bandmate released this awesome amplified trumpet record this friday:
Espen Lund - The Speaking Hand:
https://open.spotify.com/album/6z1irwpM ... kL4xyV1zEg

[retinal orbita]

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQqQRKT14r0[/youtube]

Came out in 2015 but just reissued on 7" - definitely worth checking out if you like noise/grindcore/Knelt Rote/Full of Hell style music

[retinal orbita]

Can you imagine being excited about a new Burzum record in 2020?

[JonnyAngle]

I was kinda hoping for a Descendants thread...

Frayle-1692
https://frayle.bandcamp.com/album/1692

I think I already posted this in "what are you istening to right now"
and sure, you could say it's just doom with ethereal female voice
but... but... I love it. Got the vinyl
