2. Draconian - Under A Godless Veil
3. Fires In The Distance - Echoes From Deep November
4. Yuri Gagarin - The Outskirts Of Reality
5. Symbolik - Emergence
Some super fast, extremely clean tech death over here. Great riffs never stop coming, and everything seem to flow naturally. My favourite album for 2020 on the melodic side of death metal.

7.5I dropped this kind of power / melodeath a long time ago, especially when it features clean vocals. But somehow this album totally works for me. Maybe the fact that it's female vocals is for something. The riffs are quite interesting as well.
30. Aversio Humanitatis - Behold The Silent Dwellers
31. Mora Prokaza - By Chance
8.0 Wow, extremely interesting mix of influences here, and super well put together. I'm not sure I would come back to this particular album super often, but I wish this'll open a new path in music. Giving it an 8.0 for the successful experimentation.

46. Druon Antigon - Desontstijging

49. Bròn - Pred Dverima Noći
The music is quite oppressing, with a touch of spacy feelings. Reminds me a bit of Paysage D'hivers except it doesn't have the low-fi aspect, and I like that production better.
