New Twilight Fauna coming, a bit lenghtier songs. Folk/americana/black.

Some really nice psychedelic metal from the USA.

New Forndom, ambient folk I guess.

Múspellzheimr - black metal in the vain of what Amor Fati has been releasing lately - modern but very traditional. This band has a good disc already.

Thanks to old nik , great Ausie trad, epic doom metal band !!!

Really enjoyable stoner metal/rock from Spain.

One I listened to a few weeks back and gave a second listen today. On paper I didn't really think I would like it. Sure I like some djent from time to time and like progressive stuff to. But added with a lot of electronic stuff? Well... turns out I really dig this one.


Instrumental stoner metal from Germany. Production is excellent on this. Nice raw guitars, impactful drums and bass. Some nice middle eastern vibes going on this record as well.


One that's actually featured on this site. Stoner metal with some psychedelic vibes here and there. First time I heard these guys and was pleasantly surprised.

High quality black metal demo.

Quality black/death EP from Sweden



Experimental Black Metal EP from Sweden. It's intriguing.



Standard black metal but it's well done.

Atmo Black + Dungeon Synth =

Instrumental stoner rock/desert rock from Greece. I really like these guys. "Death Trip" was already a really good record from them and this is on the same level. The lyra in "The West Side Of East" is a really cool addition to the music.

Pretty cool. Reminds me of Strapping Young Lad.

Instrumental stoner/post-rock from Slovakia


and some melodic death metal/black metal from Switzerland

I listened a lot of good albums from this year, but my favorite 'till this day is The Third Perspective by Azure Emote... an interesting mix of avantgarde death metal and industrial

Instrumental psychedelic rock from Australia

Really excellent doom metal/heavy metal album with a lot of atmosphere. Only gripe with this one is the production on the drums. Basedrum deserves to be more prominent in the mix and cymbals could use more clarity. Guitars are nice and raw. Vocals are really good. You can clearly hear their love for bands like Candlemass.

One of the better albums I've heard this year.

Really good heavy metal album from the USA.


And a really interesting post-metal album with lots of ambient elements and a bit of a jazz flavour added to it. One of my favourites so far this year.

Dyssidia has a great sound of progressive metal

Also I recommend this black/death from Mexico, Black Hate.

Night Crowned - Impius Viam
Melodic Black/Death Metal (Sweden)


Havukruunu - Uinuos syömein sota
Pagan Black Metal (Finland)


Myridian - Light in the Abyss
Melodic Doom/Death Metal - Australia


Aether Realm - Redneck Vikings from Hell
Melodic Death/Folk Metal - USA

Hey man, welcome, hope you will find it to be a useful place to find new stuff!

Personally, favourite bands that got big in the 90s include Amorphis, Alice In Chains, Neurosis, Sleep, Opeth, Tool, Blind Guardian, Nightwish, Dark Tranquillity, and plenty more (albeit some of those are more for their post-2000 work, particularly Amorphis and Dark Tranquillity)

First of all also a big welcome from me. This site has been (and still is) a great source to find some great albums/recommendations.

As for your question about the 90s...

I'd say Blind Guardian, Iced Earth, Dream Theater, Tool, Paradise Lost, Opeth, Bruce Dickinson's solo work, Heavenwood, In Flames, Grave Digger and some good albums by Rammstein, Symphony X were released in the 90s.

And there are definitely more, but these are the ones that quickly came to my mind.

The new Svolder is amazing. Recommended.

Excellent instrumental stoner metal from Russia.

Stoner/doom metal with post-metal touches from Poland

Instrumental psychedelic stoner metal from the UK. Just like last year's album from them, this is another excellent piece of work.
