Asking for me: what black metal releases feel “essential” from this year? Lots of good stuff, yes, even really good, but anything stand out or shine well above the rest for you?

I am moving to the debut album from ANTHRODYNIA (Aug 15 2025) My kind of death doom! And the way it lulls with its immersive atmosphere is WHAT’S UP. Highly recommended if you like the cavernous bunch Spectral Voice, Ossuary, Blood Spore. #Metalsky

Really excited for this wonderous day of #post-metal on Saturday for Helvefest!
A wee solo trip from Glasgow as there was no chance I was missing that line up.
For some insane reason there are still tickets available and only £20: roadtomasochist.co.uk/gigs

Sugar Horse - The Grand Scheme of Things
In their own words this album is a "sidestep" from their usual output, but for whatever reason this English band produced a pretty accessible post-hardcore album.
