Albums of the year 2025

[Thorn]

Yep the Necromaniac is well up the pecking order for me, even a tilt at No.1 is possible.

Shit, must go back to that VV, cheers

[open face surgery]

Ya, it's on the list for me as well.

[OpenSores]

Must give it a blast, passed me by.

It has been one of the better years release wise some but not all of the stuff I enjoyed below

The two best releases
Warloghe - Logos of All-That-Ends
Pissgrave - Malignant Worthlessness

Others that deserve a mention
Vadhakarmadhikarin - Tejashvi Akramakh Validaan
Kaevum - Ultra
Hexerei - Realms
Haemorrhage - Emetic Cult 3.0
End It - Wrong Side Of Heaven
Alienator - Meat Locker

I still have to get the new Clandestine Blaze.

[open face surgery]

Warloghe is great on first listen. Loved their last one and it was perfectly coupled with the Helwetti album that came out around the same time.

2 listens into the new Clandestine Blaze and it's deadly. Didn't give anytime to the last one but he's been very consistent in quality.

[Pentagrimes]

Forgot about Mephitic Corpse, really enjoyed that one. Teitanblood as well, surprised how much I liked it. Necromantic Worship deserves a mention too.

I really need to pick up the Voidceremony and Qrixquor after Xmas.

[Carnage]

I only gave it one listen earlier, but the new Blut Aus Nord will have to go onto my list, it sounded great.

[Pentagrimes]

oh shit, I forgot ARROWS - Yearning Arrows,Cloven Suns

[mickO)))]

The new Abominator album is out I doubt it will be an AOTY contender but will definitely be one to check out for those that are into the Cemetery Urn style Oz dm bands.

Void - Forbidden Morals is the only one I can think of that I really liked this year. Haven't listened to much new stuff tbh.

[TurnTheAirBlue]

Perdition Temple - Malign Apotheosis
Sijjin - Meat and Potatoes Combat
Malthusian - The Summoning Bell
Suffering Hour - Impelling Rebirth

I tried to get into the new Ulcerate, but it still hasn't clicked for me. Not as immediate as Stare into Death and Be Still.
The Malefic Throne album is really good, but Tuckers vocals let it down a bit.

[Thorn]

Hehe ye got the Sijjin right enough, I like it alright though

[londonleatherboy]

1914 the current front runner

[Thorn]

Yeah?.Didn't like all the lengthy breaks in play in that at all, they really want mad on the setting the scene stuff didn't they?

I tried to get into the new Ulcerate, but it still hasn't clicked for me. Not as immediate as Stare into Death and Be Still.

The last Ulcerate was released during the summer of 2024. I saw them live for the first time 3 weeks ago with Spirit Possession supporting and they were great live. Probably the closest sounding band to DSO that actually play live.
