Heavy Blog’s Top 25 Albums of 2021 (So Far) – Heavy Blog Is Heavy

 

Rotten to the Core // July 2021 – Heavy Blog Is Heavy

Death’s Door // July 2021 – Heavy Blog Is Heavy

Kvlt Kolvmn // July 2021 – Heavy Blog Is Heavy

 

for those who enjoy early carcass.

 

Not gonna forgive you for a few glaring omission (j/k) but there's a lot on these lists I haven't heard yet, so I'm excited to dive in.

 

And I was right. This definitely scratches the itch that Nails usually fills considering they've fallen into the ether.

Convulse hasn't had a bad release yet this year. Damn.

 

Been doing a real bad job of tracking my favorite releases so far this year so this is a brain dump of 25 releases cause we're at the halfway point of the year. It's mostly metal and hardcore, hence why I'm doing it in this thread. No exact order because that's a job for the end of the year.

The Ruins of Beverast - The Thule Grimoires
Sulk - Tennis Elbow
Pan-Amerikan Native Front - Little Turtle's War
Colonial Wound - Degradation
Sweet Soul - So Far No Further
Ekulu - Unscrew My Head
Holy Figures - Luck of the Draw
Drill Sergeant - Vile Ebb
Gulch/Sumani split
Human - Delicacies of Human Extinction
Fiddlehead - Between the Richness
Violent Spirit - Fire
Enforced - Kill Grid
Militarie Gun - All Roads Lead To The Gun
Regional Justice Center - Crime and Punishment
Sore Dream - Gears Clogged With Blood and Honey
Bone Sickness - Theatre of Morbidity (reissue)
Planet On A Chain - This Won't Get Any Fucking Better
The Can't Hardlys - Beach Flat Rock
Sentinel - Sense of Dread
Bodybox - Through The Bongfire
Suffering Hour - The Cyclic Reckoning
Socioclast - s/t
Thirdface - Do It With A Smile
Drug Church - Tawny

Probably missing a few, and there's a shit ton of things I need to dive into more...but I'm pretty happy with this brain dump TBH.

I wish I had gone.

 

was hoping for a Hatebreed headliner, but that's a pretty stacked bill

 

Big upgrade over In Flames in 2021 tbh.

 

FFO Cannibal Corpse, Gatecreeper

 

more cool shit coming out of Dallas. I'm pretty sure some of the members of Kombat are in this band

 

Powerslave Eddie Wood Burner & Grill

Check out that link. They have some other crazy stuff.

 

Grindcore out of Indiana.

 

New king woman single is the best yet

 

it really is the best one yet.

 

Morning Star was the best king woman song ever when it dropped and now this one is even better. Psychic wound rules too but it’s my bottom of the three. So fucking excited for this record

 

Like it’s indisputable
