You should check out Stuff's demo. It's really good.

The bands are breaking the genres in metal and Jooe is doing so, when it comes to lists on MS

Too little recs though

Lolol. I'm really only sticking to 8+ this year, and stuff I can definitely see myself listening to in the future. TBH I might even take out a couple at some point.

You mean to tell me Wrekmeister Harmonies, Exlimitir, Untamed Land, Them Moose Rush and Rolo Tomassi aren't 8+??

Tbh Rolo Tomassi is a definite possibility, need to listen to it a bit more, and Wrekmeister I haven't heard yet. Hoping it's better than the last one.

Nice name going on for this 'list', it's very Darkspacey.

Should have named it that character when you hold alt and press 0160

Damn, didn't even know that was a thing.

The few albums here that I have heard I very much enjoy so I guess I should check out the rest. I've been shit at getting on new releases this year

I'm falling back into the habit of adding stuff that just seems cool, rather than flat out 8+ stuff so I might need to tidy things up at some point after dedicated listenings. There's definitely been a few legit hits this year though.

Check Dautha bro, your list needs some epic doom

I'll give it a go, but I'm pretty fussy with epic doom. I only ever seem to listen to the classic stuff.

Some Griftegard members play on this, maybe you'll dig it.

Can't hurt I suppose

Been listening through the list slowly and randomly, and one thing stuck out to me. That Crone album has some phenomenal song writing, but I just cant get into the vocal style. Damn shame because with a different vocalist I might have called it one of the best of the year, but the style just doesnt click with me.

You might be interested in the new The Thing With Five Eyes album "Noirabesque". It's a newer Jason Kohnen (Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble) project, and quite an interesting one. The vocals might be off putting to some, but I'm personally a big time fan.

On the complete opposite end of the spectrum is the new Owane album, which is my album of the year at the moment. It's kind of a jazz influenced, proggy (? I guess) take on the Intervals/Plini/etc... style of guitar focused hyper addictive instrumental stuff. It's definitely more eclectic in terms of observable influence than most of his peers (like Intervals, who I'm pretty sure he collaborated on a track with), but I think the range of styles come together superbly. I'm a massive fan of the style, though again idk if you'd necessarily be into it.

Was also curious as to your thoughts on the new Voices album? Haven't gotten around to listening to it but I've seen some positive reception elsewhere.

Crone's vocals are definitely not my favourite. I'm not overly bothered by them though, not enough to stop me enjoying it anyway.

I'll get those recs open in some tabs and have a listen. Anything KDE-related is bound to be good. I'm also pretty into the more modern prog of Intervals et al these days so there's a good chance I'll like that one too.

Haven't heard the new Voices yet though. I think I just came to the conclusion that they weren't for me after what they've released so far, but I'll have a look at it anyway. Might do it for me this time.

I remember enjoying the Voices debut somewhat and London to a lesser degree, which is why I haven't really rushed to hop on the new one.

On the topic of the proggy boy crew, I just realized Plini's new EP already came out, and listening right now it sounds quite good, so you may want to give that a whirl as well. Also, somewhat related, the new Night Verses album is a fairly interesting and different take on modern prog type instrumental shit. Its quite a bit different from the Intervals style, but super cool imo.

Plini are nice. Very relaxing, but I did find them a bit too soft to get through a whole album's worth. An EP might be doable though.

The full length Plini album is definitely below the quality of the first three EPs and the new one. Think the latest has a good balance of more mellow passages and heavier prog stuff. Though it's definitely not metal by any means.

I guess you didn't enjoy the last Drudkh album.

I think I heard a bit of a song and it didn't grab me, but people keep saying it's good so I guess I'll have to listen to it at some point.

Gonna probably lurk this for the rest of the year for some review ideas, so thanks for posting!
Haven't listened to everything here but of what I recognize Imperial Triumphant, Xenward, and Chaos Echoes have probably been my favorites.

Also interesting to see you put Uada here, given your tastes I kinda would've figured they'd be a bit too generic for you. They are a good example of a band that does an unoriginal sound well though, so not a bad pick in my book

Coool, I better keep updating it then.

And yeah, that's my exact reason for liking it. I do have quite a big thing for standard, meloblack when it's done well. Dauþuz and Kosmogyr probably aren't too far off in that they're quite melody heavy but are done well. It's nice to have the occasional listening album, especially for mp3 player usage,

There's actually a band here in Belgium called Stuff. Haven't heard their demo but they actually have a pretty good album out. Link says 2018 but I think it's from last year.

Also, your list format sucks, I hate it.
But I will probably use it at some point if I want to hear new music.

Lolol, nice, I'll have a listen to some Stuff later.

Well this list was originally for me only as an easy access place for this year's records, I tried hiding it, but that didn't last long. Damn snoopy MS crew.
