Just stick that Couch Slut album on on a whim after seeing it while browsing Bandcamp for stuff I might have missed and ah yeah jaysus this is lethal.

Another list here. I only know one of them so they agree with me on something I suppose

[boozegeune]

It's still percolating for me but Blood Incantation, Death Like Mass and Spite are up there. I've bought practically nothing this year (one album since January!)
Will hopefully get to finally add those to the collection after Christmas.

I haven't listened to enough stuff that stuck with me this year to make a list but the Gloomy Reflections album has been on pretty heavy rotation for me the last few weeks.

Nearly forgot, new Inter Arma was a mad yoke too. Should be of interest for anyone who likes that dissonant sound.

That's one of the ones Ochoill tells me about

It definitely is and I had a lengthy chat with him about it in Pharmacia in the summer, whether he remembers that bit or not lol 

Just had that one on there. Jaysus tis great. No wonder you were at him about it! All the tunes were decent but Gardens In The Dark is something else altogether.

I guess we're getting a new Teitanblood any minute now (my guess is Xmas day) so let's see how that changes the lists

Yeah just seen that! Been getting back into Death a lot this year so excited for a new one. Was hoping the century album would be out this side of Christmas too but looks like it's been pushed into 2025

No I;d say we'll have it sooner than we think. They generally don't fuck around with the album announcements.

Partholon are up there for album of the year

[Killchain]

The Cure is AOTY for me, must check put new Tribulation actually, I didn't know it dropped

New Tribulation is cool. Once you get used to the clean vocals it's great, and adds a new dimension to their sound

Looks like a new Revenge album is coming out but they haven't released anything all that great since Scum and live it's just not the same without Helmkamp.

This just popped up on my YouTube feed after reading your post

[open face surgery]

It's definitely a Revenge song anyway and with that, it's great.

I listened to it earlier just more of the same. Not a patch on what they were releasing when Pete was involved. I had hope with Scum because some of the doomy parts were really good but Read didn't seem to carry that on with any of the releases that came after.

I do really like the cover.

Given the ubiquity of mashups I'm surprised there no Revenge/Father Jack
"drink.feck.girls" tshirt out there
