Rolling 2021 Metal Thread

No Meshuggah? I think the new one is great! Agree with the criticisms above that they aren't reinventing the wheel at this point, but I feel they've earned the right to simply skate along on the wheel they've already invented. They've simply honed and refined over time their groovy battering ram vibe, and sound as immaculate and uncompromising as ever. I dunno, I can never have too much of that sound.

This ended up being my top 5:

Asphyxiate - Altar of Decomposed
Deafheaven - Infinite Granite
Sněť - Mokvání v okovech
Temperance - Diamanti
Worm - Foreverglade

Dear anybody else who likes the school of black-ish metal-ish that sounds like the internal monologue of the last demon left in Hell after everybody else has moved away, check out the new Reverorum ib Malacht.
