Making the one List lead me to make the other, so as is traditional..here goes. By no means an exhaustive list and I'm forgetting tons of amazing shit, I'm sure I could do a seperate list for punk or hip hop on top of all this..

I've only heard the NIN and Daughters out of that list but they are both great.

[Pentagrimes]

Ah lads. Scrap my list. Laibach just released their recording of the soundtrack to "The Sound of Music". All other music is now obsolete.

Posts like this are what I like. I'll work my way through that list for the next few months and most likely find something to make me wonder "Why the hell haven't I listened to this band before"

Pretty slow year on metal and non metal stuff but Emma Ruth Rundle's album On Dark Horses is very good.

Wouldn't listen to a lot of stuff like this but I'd say any fans of Chelsea Wolfe might dig it.

Daughters, Low and Mount Eerie would be on my list too. Lingua Ignota's re-release of All Bitches Die is probably my most listened non-metal album this year; engrossingly harrowing and original. Puce Mary's The Drought is also excellent industrial/noise.

Listening now, great stuff!

Good to see people finally coming round to Lingua Ignota. And that Puce Mary and Rundler are great too.

Yeah I owe you one for that rec! Think she has her next album recorded too.

[Pentagrimes]

She's doing bits and pieces on the mainland next year two with the likes of Amen Ra and SunnO))). Fingers crossed she might land here in some capacity.

You are right. I  just looked at three videos from this.

Wow.

Everybody should start with the lonely goatherd

Only got round to the new Sun Kil Moon and solo Mark Kozelek yesterday, prefer the former to the latter. I'm not really on board with Mark Kozelek's rambling monologue approach to songwriting these days but the travel diary feel to the Sun Kil Moon one works (and it's quite funny as well - the bit about reindeer in "Candles" is brilliant), makes me want to look up flights to Scandinavia !

[Sinister Rouge]

For me it's gotta be Fight The Good Fight by Ska/Punk band The Interrupters.

[Mags]

forgot to mention Grouper's new release Grid of Points. Pretty similar to Ruins but that's no bad thing at all. Has less of the stripped back fragile production compared to Ruins but still has its own vibe.

[Pentagrimes]

Way late to this party but this Zeta lp is fantastic. Post hardcore, Latin percussion, blast beats and psych rock all in a blender. So much energy. It's like the band you wanted At The Drive In to be.
