Personal favourites

Albums that come to mind when I think about my fav music.

Écailles de lune

Alcest

The most beautiful harsh vocals you will ever hear, ethereal, nostalgic longing set to music. Like a childhood dream, Neige makes you believe in fairies.
Everything Is Fire

Ulcerate

Dissonant death metal ascendancy - this album changed what I thought was possible with heavy music. The closing track is the apocalypse set to music, the sound of the earh imploding and returning to chaotic nothingness. Everything. Is. Fire.
I Let It in and It Took Everything

Loathe

Perfect blend of Deftones-core, baritone chugs, shoegaze singalongs and emotional weight.
Heavener

Invent Animate

Modern metalcore taken to it's limit. Insane layered production, emotional weight and devastating heaviness combine to make this album a personal levitation device.
The Circle

Heretoir

10/10 blackgaze album. Beauty and agony in perfect juxtaposition, like crying while eating ice cream, or a last embrace from an ex lover.
Where Owls Know My Name

Rivers of Nihil

Modern death metal perfection. Blasts, grooves, sax solos, no skips.
