The Definitive Album Of 2020 Is Lou Reed And Metallica’s ’Lulu’

 

When they can tour on it, all hell will be unleashed. This feels like Perseverance era material. The last track is a barn burner.

 

I only had a chance to listen to the first half. Excited for the closing track now.

 

I think fans of the bands older material will love it.

 

Eyehategod announce first album in 7 years, 'A History of Nomadic Behavior'

I'm here for it.

 

I was just talking about them the other day. Very cool

 

It looks like August Burns Red’s 2020 Christmas show is still happening

 

I don't know if I would have been down to drop $15 for a ABR Xmas live stream, but the production and performance of the Thrill Seeker stream was so good, that I'm probably gonna do this one too.

 

spinning dISEMBOWELMENT last week re-ignited my love for funeral doom & now I’m listening to Esoteric’s The Maniacal Vale - definitely a top 10 doom album for me & a true masterpiece

I also decided to pull the trigger on a copy of Mournful Congregation’s The Monad of Creation - was a steep price but should be worth it if the pressing is at least decent - another masterpiece

man, cold weather & death / funeral doom go so well together

next up this week Warning’s Watching..., Thergothon, MDB’s Turn Loose the Swans, Skepticism’s Stormcrowfleet & Katatonia’s Dance of December Souls

happy to listen to any recs / favorites for sloooow heavyyyyy doom from you all if you want to throw them my way

for some reason traditional doom, stoner & sludge don’t really hit me the same way, but there are some good exceptions

 

Two members of dISEMBOWELMENT went on to form Inverloch, which is kind of a spiritual successor.

Stormcrowfleet by Skepticism is considered a classic of the genre.

And I know I don't need to tell you to listen to Bell Witch! Bit of a different vibe since it's only bass and drums but they're amazing.

 

Definitely check out Bell Witch as @theagentcoma mentioned.

Also, this album from earlier this year:

Stygian, by Atramentus

 

thank you!

Stormcrowfleet I listed but I had no idea about Inverloch!

Bell Witch is dope yes

 

thanks for the rec!

 

Starting to put together my top 25(?) of 2020, and I'm realizing how many things I missed this year. Oops.

 

Me too...

 

I don’t even try to keep up at this point

Deftones, Hum, Undeath, Black Curse, Of Feather & Bone...

what else hmmmm

 

Pretty sick, Brann is such a goddamn good musician

 

(This is incomplete and not all of metal)
Necrot, Be Well, Spook the horses, A Pregnant Light, Higher Power, Necrowretch, Charmer, Exist

 

Eternal Champion will probably wind up being in my top 3 metal albums of the year.

I still have A LOT to listen to, but 200 Stab Wounds, Fluids, End, Xibalba, Skeleton, Plague Years, Skeletal Remains, Benediction were all pretty solid. I think the other ones I've heard and liked have already been mentioned.

Drain is probably top 3 too, but it's more hardcore, I guess.

 

Hardcore with Slayer riffs is welcome here!

 

My good friend and I keep talking to each other about how 2020 was such a blur in terms of time and such a wet fart in terms of quality that despite keeping up with releases alright we've already forgotten what dropped this year.
