21:45 - Sir Yupp

Obsidian by Paradise Lost would be my current answer, but there's a bunch that could overtake it on the next listen.

21:22 - Fiorentina

For me, the best is Darkness Invisible

18:14 - SelfXPlanetOrE

Agents of Oblivion is slept on af also.

17:49 - Languedocian

For me, it is The Wishing Tomb, Ayam or Sidera - Sidera might become my first 10 since 2019.

16:58 - VileVick

Now hopefully Shrüm can get as big as them. Seeing it's one of the guys from Acid Bath that formed that band I believe.

16:14 - A Real Mönkey

Still waiting for a decent reissue of their albums.

15:39 - Roman Doez

I remember a few years back it was practically impossible to find their music online and now they have 550k monthly listeners on spotify
