"New" dBatCotLH's release which got overlooked last year:

der Blutharsh and the Church of the Leading Hand - Sucht and ordnung

The bonus GosT EP that came along with Non Paradisi is fucking sexy and also not as dark and serious as the full length. So this is brilliant and absolute fun!

GosT - Non Paradisi (Secret Arcana)

Sounds thoroughly cheap and irritating to me that GosT stuff (inb4 I'm cheap and irritating).

In a way yes, these must be discards and uncompleted tracks from the full length but I like their sound so much I can't stop myself from enjoying it.

I can think I need my synthwave to be strictly nostalgic of old 70s and 80s sci-fi

Indeed that's what splits GosT from the other synthwave artists. Most others just try to evoke the retro sci fi and 80s electronic music feel but this guy tries to makes it more in the view symphonic metal/dance music (atleast the last full length, haven't heard Behemoth yet) and that's what I find unique and enjoyable.

Problem is it just ends up sounding like something you could find in any club that plays bad dance music, with simplistic, obnoxious beats. I don't find it unique due to that.

This is really good.

Let's be serious. The best 2016 non metal album is most probably this one

Youth Code - Commitment To Complications
