Rolling 2020 Metal Thread

that band name keeps reminding me of the Sega Genesis game so i want to buy it

Bornyhake, the guy behind Borgne, among innumerable other projects, somehow also found the time to record a one-man funeral doom album as My Death Belongs to You, and it's a 2020 subgenre highlight alongside Atramentus's Stygian and Ahab's Live Prey:

The subgenre being funeral doom rather than one-man funeral doom, mind you.

missed this but the new KD is still coming out, just bumped to 2021, and new Mercyful Fate as well

Came here to post about the new Akhlys sounding great and scary and saw NYCNative's post about the guy. Always disappointing to hear.

I'd not heard them before and death metal is usually a hard sell for me, but Of Feather and Bone seems like a very full-on and exciting project. Very murky and changeable and quite doomish in places.

With December now looming on the horizon, I’d like everyone to know that I’m up for a 2020 metal poll if you are, so do honk if you’re interested.

I'll participate.

Incidentally the Decibel list prompted me to listen to anything I hadn't heard before and I wound up adding Celestial Season and Eternal Champion to my Amazon want list.

the Eternal Champion is fun.

about to dig into the new Cadaver and Sodom.

uhm one song into the new Cadaver and it's going very welllll

oh, the full length? thought the D.G.A.F. (oof) ep was pretty weak stuff.

yeah the full length.

this is much better than the EP, which I only played once.

nice

i didn’t even realize an lp was incoming until i saw this but i’m rooting for cadaver, didn’t like the feeling of not really feeling a cadaver record

i’ve been pretty into this expanded version of the recent oksennus lately -

https://necrolatryrecords.bandcamp.com/album/ty-n-orjat-paholaisten-y-st-nouskaa

a bit like like a (way) less polished later corrupted record

title track to Genesis XIX (the new Sodom) is fantastic.

but there is nothing on this album unexpected.

which for Sodom is juuuuuust fine by me.

lol "Glock 'n Roll" just steals the middle section of JP's "Painkiller"

With December now looming on the horizon, I’d like everyone to know that I’m up for a 2020 metal poll if you are, so do honk if you’re interested.

Very much so

I'm down, too (though feeling wholly behind with so many albums on my need-to-hear-this-still-list)

I am not a big Sodom fan at all — if it wasn't for Tankard, they'd be my least favorite German band — but the new album is really good.

Glad to hear *checks notes* three fellow ILXors are interested in a 2020 metal poll. Anyone else? I’d rather not bother seandalai if it can be helped.

I'll definitely put in a ballot.

I would also vote in the poll.

yes

I might have somewhere around 20 or 25 albums this year, which is a lot for me.

Yes.

I will voet

That’s the spirit!

In!

i may even vote for some albums not from Tampere, Finland if we're lucky

HONK

Forgot about Regarde Les Hommes Tomber, Ascension is kicking my ass right now

Nice to see loads of enthusiasm for the poll! Got lots of catching up this year due to various reasons so woohoo

WILL VOTE.

That is one I bought too. I had somehow forgot about it.

I've not really engaged enough this year to vote but will definitely read and take part.

Pom has done it 2020 Metal ’n’ Heavy Rock Poll: NOMINATIONS Thread (open until the 8th of January 2021)

I got my LP of the new Fuck the Facts but have not listened yet. each format/pressing has a different bonus track. fiendish!

I really like it

will vote!

same!

digging the new Azarath. the drums are thunderous, the riffs almost drone-y in a way in where they repeat over and over and over before giving way to another passage.

It’s really good, yeah. At first pass I can’t say I like it less than Blasphemers’ Maledictions.

giving this a headphone listen and man, it's taking a lot of restraint for me not to start knocking over furniture.

my mother is watching the Saved by the Bell relaunch, and man the show improves with this music in the background

ok the new Fuck the Facts is immense

yeah, it has many layers to it. probably gonna revisit that next.

Diminishing returns for me but it’s a highlight for sure.

wow, music to my ears

New Kaunis Kuolematon delivers the Finnish melodeath-doom goods.

my mother is watching the Saved by the Bell relaunch,

wtf?? a relaunch?? Who is playing Screech?
