  2026 Albums

  Pete Brown

  This album was a late addition to my 2025 favorites list.

  Lychgate is a UK band; while I find genre-definition a bit tedious, this album sits toward the black metal region of the diagram, with some death and progressive elements.

  What I really appreciate about this album is that it is intense and heavy, but also quite atmospheric. Like a bunch of the other metal albums I have been enjoying lately, it has a little bit of a lot of different things in it, with just enough prog sprinkled through to make it interesting but not tedious.

  "Hive Of Parasites" is probably my favorite track.
