I've seen elsewhere people saying 2015 is one of the worst years for metal ever, do people really think like that? Or are they just fans of mainstream metal ignoring the underground?
I'm always behind and buying shit from one or two years ago, but I feel like there's been some great stuff this year.
also the dude recommended me the King Woman EP which is some sweet doom
Yeah, that's a great EP! Their Dove/Fond Affections tape EP is also worth checking out.

I found it pretty mediocre, but I also find myself moving further and further away from anything that could be considered even mainstream extreme metal with each passing year.

Dimesland came out in very late 2014?
It just came out on CD on Crucial Blast. I guess it was digital-only before that, if that disqualifies it you'll be forcing me to build a time machine and nominate it last year.

Quite like that Sunpocrisy, even though it's a bit shiny by my usual standards. And they really need to work on naming things, the band name and title are both pretty awful.
I thought I was pretty much done with post-metal actually, but I've heard a small handful of things this year that convinces me the genre still has legs. Just about.
