  Thematic/lyrical content: technological dread and existentialism

  Compared to the cosmic beauty of Ethereal Horizons listed above, Burning Palace's Elegy leans more into the existential dystopian side of space metal. In a time period where A.I. slop is being shoved down all our throats, I would describe this album as poignant and relevant.

  Musically, combining these kinds of chunky dissonant riffs, with some Sci-Fi beep-boop sounds and some cold, dead of space atmosphere is almost always a winning formula for me. Sometimes if it ain't broke, don't fix it. And when it's done this well, it's unquestionabley towards the top of my list. There's even a title track guest vocal performance from one of my favorite musicians.
