Essential black/death/doom that flies criminally under the radar. Great dynamic range and pacing, along with memorable riffs, gives their sound a massive presence.

I remember feeling lukewarm on this initially but I don't feel that way anymore. Love this band. They synthesize technical brutality with genuinely evocative songwriting very well.

Calling Pantera talentless, unoriginal, or lyrically devoid is lazy. They pioneered a massive shift in metal and had some of the most empowering lyrics about strength and unity.

Another one from 2025 that seems to have gone unnoticed. Cold, hypnotic, and utterly desolate raw bm that crosses into avant-garde dissonance.

This flew under the radar last year. One of Rory Flay’s many bands. I think @wormlust told me about it awhile back. Really good raw atmospheric bm with kinda folky interludes.

It’s been a very long and very busy day. Can I interest anyone in some bestial black metal from China? Just say yes.

The third “Demo” from PdH shifts entirely into dark ambient drone, leaving no trace of black metal anywhere. Timewind and Timewave Zero enthusiasts should absolutely check this out.

Their second “Demo” released the same year is also really good. I especially love the way the low gutturals sound on this recording mixed with the lo-fi grit of guitars and dark ambient synth.

Recently decided to dig deeper into the PdH discography and I’m enjoying what I’ve found. Their first “Demo” is one of my favorites so far. Lo-fi black metal mixed with dark ambient and drone-doom.

Alright here’s m9ne. I’d say these were all very formative albums because I can specifically remember the impact each one had on me. I could easily do a few more, but I think these were truly my starting points for punk, thrash, alt, groove, black, death, noise, and avant-garde.

Gloriously demented black-thrash chaos that feels otherworldly. One thing I find very impressive is the pristine balance of raw (sounding) production and clarity.

On my third listen this week. Very good occult black metal that is extremely reminiscent of the oppressive, dissonant, and ritualistic atmospheres of the Icelandic scene.

Technical thrash can be really cool. This is full of nostalgic 80s/90s headbangable thrash and death grooves, along with some very creative oddball riff phrasing.

I can’t stop listening to this album and it just dawned on me that it could be my AOTY.
