I think it's more valid to talk about some years being particularly weak for *one subgenre of metal*, but not the genre as a whole. Like obviously some years will be less impressive than others for BM, death, doom, etc

v This

There has never been a bad or mediocre year for metal since metal exists. Unless you're only listening to the big bands in the genre.

I'm not sure how many awesome albums in a year constitute "a good year" for some people, but if you can't find at least 10, you're doing something wrong

I'm in awe whenever someone says that X year has been a bad year for metal. There is literally just so much out there for you to find

No idea. Not interested in it, tbh. Never like that Skuggsja thing.

Hmm, it'll be interesting to hear more from those two collaborating as I liked Skuggsja, but I'm guessing the fact they came up with a new name suggests this might be a stylistic departure?
