Following that.
So my first thing I liked from last year (which is a reissue of stuff from the 90s) and am bringing up this year is Barathrum's "Jetblack Warmetal" comp. It's not war metal in the usual blasting sense, but bass-heavy (THREE BASSISTS! TWO GUITARISTS!) crude black metal with some Mediterranean influences and some Beherit vibes. Very noisy.
Anything good coming up this month?

There's a new Ehnahre coming out this month and it's great. Super weird, lots of piano. The first track sounds like the beginning of a Cecil Taylor album, where he's striking what seem like random keys and reciting sound poetry in that weird croaking voice.

VOIVOD announce 'Post Society EP' release
http://www.centurymedia.com/media/news/large/635864369564106525.jpg
Canadian progressive sci-fi metal innovators VOIVOD are pleased to announce the release of Post Society EP Mini-CD. This special release will be available in Digipak CD format as well as digital download on February 26th, 2016 via Century Media Records. The Post Society EP, with artwork by VOIVOD drummer Michel "Away" Langevin, contains 5 studio tracks, including the previously vinyl-only new VOIVOD songs from the split 7" EP's with label-mates At The Gates and Napalm Death, two brand new songs and a Hawkwind cover ("Silver Machine") total playing time of 30 minutes. Here is the track-listing: VOIVOD - Post Society - EP1. Post Society (06:17)2. Forever Mountain (05:12)3. Fall (06:42)4. We Are Connected (07:26)5. Silver Machine (04:48) Michel "Away" Langevin checked in to comment on the release as follows: "More songs from out in the woods! In between tours, we are steadily finding our way through recording the next album at RadicArt studio. Many riffs were composed on the bus but until the North American tour with Vektor in 2016, we will spend most of wintertime in Montreal writing another batch of material. Meanwhile, we hope you will enjoy this EP of good old thrash-prog-punk-metal or whatever people want to call Voïvod nowadays :)"

Always excited about new Voivod and a Hawkwind cover to boot!
Volahn but their album last year was good
Dude, thanks for mentioning this - saw it at a shop today and between your mention and the Iron Bonehead logo I figured I'd buy it. It's really good, somehow manages to balance kind of proggy elements with a really vicious rawness. And the guitar is great, all of these elaborate little filigrees and the almost necro-surf tone he has.

Oh man, if you like your metal supermelodic, check out this album The Deviant Hearts, by Phantasma. I missed this completely when it came out a couple months ago, but it's Charlotte Wessels from Delain, Oliver Philipps from Everon and George Neuhauser from Serenity. It's phenomenal.

Saw the first great show of the year - the quadruple New(ish) Jack Thrash bill of Warbringer, Enforcer, Exmortus and Cauldron.
Enforcer were amazing, like Hanoi Rocks gone thrash. The singer had eyeliner and leather and was genuinely charismatic and hamming it up and was in general a lot of fun.
I also loved Exmortus' neoclassical thrash (picked up the brand new one from them at the merch booth), Cauldron's sense of economy and Warbringer brought it as well.
Just a fun night with four bands that all had different strengths and played to them perfectly.

I tried to get into Warbringer recently, can't stand that vocal recording style. Feel like I'm listening for polyps on the guy's vocal chords.
Enforcer sounds pretty good though.

Man, I'm digging on this Bison Machine, which Tom at PunkNews hipped me to https://www.punknews.org/review/14110/bison-machine-hoarfrost
Stoner metal is not usually my bag, but this is working for me on account of some solid hooks/grooves and a mildly paradoxical combo of cut--it-with-a-knife guitar tone and agreeably lo-fi, no-frills production values. Came for the 4 minute jam, staying for the duration.

Ondt Blod's Finnmark is sort of a cross between Converge-style noisy hardcore and Kvelertak, with a few less guitar heroics than that implies, and more clean vocals in the catchy parts. Like Kvelertak, it's all in Norsk, but that doesn't matter much. There's a sample track on Soundcloud.

yes, many xposts, the volahn record is great. i love blastbeats behind half-time guitars. well, they're not really half-time but they certainly don't warrant a blastbeat necessarily. bm meat puppets?

New Witchcraft is streaming on Spotify. I like it quite a bit but it's not particularly metallic.
I mean, the band was never full-on metal, but there's a lot more soft psychedelia and folk infusions and less loud psych-rock and churning doom riffs.
There's a 14 minute track and a nearly 16 minute track, the rest of the album is more standard but it causes the album to come out at nearly an hour and a quarter.
It's mournful as always, and that's always good.

Man, Khemmis is so widely loved and I just don't get it.
Finally got my physical copy of the Haar/Ur Draugr split and have been listening to it... Haar's stuff is one of the better takes on the modern black metal sound (which is deadly dull if mishandled), vicious enough for my tastes. The Ur Draugr side is an epic 20 minute track that is all over the place, maybe a little too chaotic in terms of structure but with a lot of great ideas and stuff they havent explored before (including solid, Timeghoul-esque use of clean vocals). Feel like both of these bands are going to do great stuff with their next releases.

Zealotry album from last year really deserved more att'n/love. Crowded marketplace & novelty's always gonna rule over known quantities but it's a thoughtful, focused, beautifully played death metal album with some Roger Patterson-endebted workouts in the breaks here and there and some really cool little decorative touches -- choral vocals on one track, an acoustic interlude on another (they did that on their previous too iirc and it's something I always like in DM albums).
