You know the drill, recommend me good metal stuff from 2017. Remember this is not a playlist or promotion place, it should be stuff you have HEARD ATLEAST ONCE which means it is not just stuff YOU think is good but something that OTHERS should find good and enjoy as well.
Death metal from Portugal. Sounds more closely to Disma than anything else to my ears. Quite melodic and groovy. It's hard to judge anything from a single but yeah this seems like something that is worth keeping an eye on.
New Lorn song finally. Their previous album is criminally overlooked so am looking forward to this one. To be honest the new song is seriously lacking in bass but I'm hoping that's down to the soundcloud link.
New Code Orange album is now fully out. Haven't listened to all of yet but you can probably expect some very good mathy, metallic hardcore laden with dissonant and ambient atmospherics. Sounds great so far.
Damn sick sounding drone doom. Really excellent sound and having a smattering of dissonance to add that foreboding edge. Dripping with atmosphere. Ends on a somewhat post-rock note so has variety as well.

"1st full length album by this band featuring Dave Rotten (AVULSED) on vocals with 9 new songs and a DÉTENTE cover, of an intense and aggressive Thrash Metal for lovers of bands like DARK ANGEL, INFERNÄL MÄJESTY, ATROPHY, CORONER, SACRIFICE, SEPULTURA (beneath)... Cover artwork by Andrei Bouzikov (MUNICIPAL WASTE, SKELETONWITCH, TOXIC HOLOCAUST...)"
Lol yeah. protip: copy pasta the bandcamp album image (can just right click and grab the address from the main page; you don't have to open the image up or anything) then paste the address onto this page: https://postimage.io/web.php. I recommend resizing to the 640 x 480 size but you can do smaller (or bigger if you want). Re-upload, grab the second address then put it on here as normal, removing the "s" from the link, as usual.
Describing themselves as "doomgaze". To be honest it's quite accurate... It has a doom setup but also a bit of gaze feel to it, plus some cheery harcore influence. It's hard to tell whether it is an upbeat or a depressive album
Phat sounding old school death metal. These guys seem to think they're the genuine article whereas others are forgettable. Dunno about that, but there we go. Pretty good anyway.
Very cool piano-oriented black metal. Not just using piano as a background effect it appears to be the primary instrument so in essence Botanist with piano instead of dulcimer.. The effect is very nice. Almost reminds me of a Final Fantasy boss battle as times, sans the vocals.
This album is seven tracks of death metal crafted to tell a story of unknown horror from beyond the universe. The music itself was very carefully written over the past two years, and I can't wait for you to hear the culmination of brutal, technical, and chilling death metal with strong literary influence from Franz Kafka and H.P. Lovecraft.
This fantastic album is now fully streamable. Hypnotic black metal with an almost folk quality in its melodies. Still loving the alien warble that permeates in the background.
How's that for an artwork. Seems like this track by track preview of it is back from early 2016 but seems like it's still relevant as it'll finally be out soon. Very nice sounding black metal with members of Akhlys / Nightbringer and Enthroned / Lvcifyre. Out on Dark Descent Records or Daemon Worship Productions. Or both.
In Thousand Lakes is certainly worth posting due to its old school sound and understated songwriting. I probably won't listen to it further, but it definitely works.
