HUNTSMEN put out one of the albums of the year in 2024 but I was late to the game.
A bit doomy, a bit artsy and a lot of Americana background from clearly good musicians. Surprising in the best ways

Been a while since I posted... had a chance to get out to Two Mile Run this morning with my brother and my old pal Chris Deitzel. Weve been disc golfing together since the 90s. Good day

Sometimes as a metalhead you get down the end of a particular rabbit hole and wonder how the hell you got here. This ain't normal folk music haha

I love the band PENTAGRAM and have listened to every album despite a problematic singer. This will likely be the last though. This is freaking awful

I have been really getting into the Danish black metal band AFSKY in the past few months. A bit depressive but sublimely beautiful. Literal audio paintings.
Just wish the vocals were a bit higher in the mix on their streaming tracks

FAVE ALBUMS OF 2024 #1
Greif by Zeal and Ardor
I just kept listening over and over. The haters don't like that it's not metal enuf anymore. While not every experiment here works it's an album full of great songs

Never, Neverland by Unto Others
It's the best elements of melodic metal mixed with a heavy dose of gothy new wave influence. Add in the Seattle connection and you can hear some Queensryche here also

Songs of a Lost World by The Cure
It's one thing when a band you've loved since 1988 is still releasing music. For that album to be legit on par with anything else they have released is more than i could have wished for

They are getting better as songwriters with each album while still very much remaining true to the same core sound. It's a solid album all the way

They'll never regain the angst of their best work but this is the best lp they've released in a long time. A true return to their guitar rock roots

Les Chants de l'Aurore by Alcest
At this point this "post-metal" band has pretty much left metal behind. What they created was a beautiful album that is immersed in the sounds of 00s shoegaze while still being unique to them

One of the absolute best of the new wave of Thrash bands. Wraith adds some blackened edge
Also love the lack of pretension. They look like they coach your kids little league team

I don't think it's as strong as their last lp but the fact that these legends can still out out anything this viable is amazing. Rob is better at 73 than most metal singers
