Music 2.0

[Gandalf123]

Albums of 2016

1. Oranssi Pazuzu - Värähtelijä
2. Anaal Nathrakh - The Whole of the Law
3. Katatonia - The Fall of Hearts
4. Obscura - Akroasis
5. Insomnium - Winter's Gate
6. Deathspell Omega - The Synarchy of Molten Bones
7. Thy Catafalque - Meta
8. Nails - You Will Never Be One Of Us
9. Meshuggah - The Violent Sleep of Reason
10. Moonsorrow - Jumalten aika
11. Madder Mortem - Red in Tooth and Claw
12. Blood Incantation - Starspawn
13. Throes of Dawn - Our Voices Shall Remain
14. Mare Cognitum - Luminiferous Aether
15. Furia - Księżyc milczy luty
16. Ulcerate - Shrines of Paralysis
17. Be'Lakor - Vessels
18. Schammasch - Triangle
19. Mithras - On Strange Loops
20. In the Woods - Pure

Disappointed that Dark Tranquility, Rotting Christ, Gojira and Alcest didn't produce albums worthy of a spot in the top 20. Metallica released a handful of songs actually worth listening to for the first time in 25 years.

Everyone agree with my list? Yes? Good.

All of those sound like they incite nightmares

I reckon Gojira - Magma is a pretty good record, all those listed in your 20 look like stuff I might find on an obscure Spotify playlist!

Speaking of such, I stumbled across some Atmospheric Death Metal that goes by the name of Eldamar, album name The Force of the Ancient Land, major track Spirit of the North, magnificent!!!

PS. I thought Death Magnetic had some good tracks on it, even with the poor CD production.

Justin Biebs is heavier than some of Katatonia's recent stuff. Might put you to sleep.

Wasn't a bad album and they're trying to evolve, but seem to be stripping away or watering down the things that they're good at and replacing them with passages of trite ho-hum.

Funnily enough I though there was a pretty large representation from some heavyweights within their (admittedly obscure/underground) subgenres in my 20 this year.

Well MM, I am an Opeth fan, and have just given your no.3 Katatonia record a dozen spins, fair to say it is mostly excellent, just love track 3, there is so much metal music to digest these days I find it hard to find the time to do so :)

RIP. Chris Cornell. Another legend gone. I'm shattered. Soundgarden shaped my life through my 20s. Tragic. :'(

[upthemaidens]

I woke the same as any other day
Except a voice was in my head
It said seize the day, pull the trigger,
Drop the blade
And watch the rolling heads

The day I tried to live
I stole a thousand beggar's change
And gave it to the rich

The day I tried to win
I dangled from the power lines
And let the martyrs stretch
Singing

One more time around
Might do it
One more time around
Might make it
One more time around
Might do it
One more time around
The day I tried to live

Words you say never seem
To live up to the ones
Inside your head
The lives we make
Never seem to ever get us anywhere
But dead

The day I tried to live
I wallowed in the blood and mud with
All the other pigs

I woke the same as any other day you know
I should have stayed in bed

The day I tried to win
I walled in the blood and mud with
All the other pigs

And I learned that I was a liar
Just like you
