Albums Of The Year 2024

[open face surgery]

It's a beast of a yoke.

[Maggot Colony]

It's fecking mighty. I wasn't too gone on their last one, but this one sounds more like their earlier, less techy stuff.

[open face surgery]

Ya, I didn't give the last one anytime.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Don't think it's been mentioned, and I had in mind it was 2023 but apparently not, so Dionysiaque's Diogonos is definitely in my albums of the year.

[Ducky]

It's a beast of a yoke.

Got a few listens to it in over the last day (fair play to half-hour-ish albums) and it is indeed a beast.

[Sworntothecans]

After about the 50th listen, it's gotta be Blood Incantation.
Can't find a fault with it and always notice something new with each listen!

[Don Gately]

The last Respire album is very good also

The only way anything could usurp AE is if the parent album has a documentary with a err, dancing Riedl. And seeing as there's been precisely zero of these outside of the AE making of, AE reigns 

[Maggot Colony]

Forgot to include Dipygus in my albums of the year. Their self-titled is a manky beast of an album that sounds like Autopsy and Impetigo with a few oddball touches to keep things interesting.

[Paul keohane]

Molder- Catastrophic Reconfiguration ,worthy of a mention!

[Pentagrimes]

The last Respire album is very good also

Strong contender for the worst band I've heard not only this year, but this decade thus far. I can't remember the last time a band's music inspired this level of almost physical hatred in  me.

Love it

[Thorn]

Sixty-three  '24 releases whittled down to thirty, chop five of them off, dump five in the honourable mentions, put some sort of order on the others and you can finally get out of this cave and see daylight again. Come on...you can do this...

[Necrohag]

It's got to be Absolute Elsewhere for me going by the outrageous amount of listens I gave it and the fact I keep returning to it at least once a week.

Necrophobic's In The Twilight Grey and Nile's The Underworld Awaits Us All are very respectable runner-ups.

Overall, it's been an absolutely fantastic year for Metal.

[Maggot Colony]

I must be the only person on here that doesn't like Absolute Elsewhere. I enjoyed their other releases, but this one sounds like a Frankenstein's monster of death metal and Dr. Who moog freakouts. There's no flow to the songs, it's just prog bits horsed into death metal tunes.
