Arthalos' Best of 2024

~~~~~

2024 proved, if anything, that there's still wild fucking fun to be mad in the metal sphere, and that Covid-19 clearly didn't eliminate the worldwide hunger for the genre. In our world of Spotify wrapped, bogus, overproduced pop and hip-hop, and now an increasing craze to drive AI into the domain of music, it gives me joy - nay, peace of mind - to labor through hours and hours upon of random underground music, discovering the albums that will be the soundtracks to my life for the next few months, even years. Whether the casualization of music will truly bode ill for the future remains to be seen, but until then, and probably even after the worst of technological advancements have befallen us, I'll remain committed to exposing my ears to heavy and experimental music. Till the end of my days. With all that sappiness taken care of, let's get to it. As always, my 50 favorite listens can be found with commentary on RYM.

Much of my usual suspects run though this list, as 2024 was a year where the conjurations of heavy and power metal were particularly puissant. There's a demographic range here, from highly young acts like Horndal, Iotunn, and Kanonenfieber to relatively established underground groups like Blood Incantion, Madder Mortem, and Tribulation to absolute oldies like Priest, Warlord, Riot V and their ilk. So the classic heavy metal front was clearly a strong pillar here. Other old, but much less known acts like Mork Gryning and Scavenger brought the heat with records sneaked up on me with dangerous cunning, and I was more than content with what I heard. There are tasty chunks of progressive and prog-adjacent metal to be had, from the hugely anticipated Opeth to Ihsahn's scintillating self-titled orchestral ode, to Hungary's finest metal export, Thy Catafalque with what's probably his best work outside of Róka Hasa Rádió (2009). Opeth, perhaps to nobody's surprise, absolutely crushed it, even bringing a few Jethro Tull flute solos along the way. The Blood Incantation record belongs to that vein as well, and it was also one of those records that deserved all the praise it got, marrying 70s progressive a la Emerson, Lake and Palmer to old school death metal in an unthinkable move. Other great records like Kinship and Head Hammer Man also held their own.

Outside the progressive domain, which seems to be increasingly a fundamental part of my auditory fix, there were some great, fiendish black metal excursions like the new Hail Spirit Noir, Mörk Gryning and Kvaen who exploited the bounds of the genre I know and love for its sheer malleability. Vast, tumultuous vistas of malice and introspection. Oranssi Pazuzu, one of my favorite younger black metal bands, went full techno / drum and bass with Muuntautuja. They barely broke a sweat while doing so, and unnerved me to my core. The new Ministry was also a welcome surprise; it kept me grooving and dancing in between many a workout set. In the end, though, despite its beautiful exploration of themes such as loss and control, Old Eyes, New Heart is only my second favorite album of the year. Not only that, but it rivals the masterful Desiderata (2006) in sheer quality, an album which I consider a milestone in the gothic/progressive niche. It stymied and moved me through almost every song and refused to drop from my rotation. But the cake goes to the latest by Crypt Sermon, the best album so far from a band that almost forcibly converted me into being a doom goon. There wasn't a song there that didn't connect, and whenever they did, I found myself at a loss at its sheer fluidity, heft and atmosphere. Truly ceremonial music for the 2020s, harkening to its 80s epic doom origins, but angrier, more deranged, just like the world that birthed it.

Thanks for reading, and see you all next year.

Arthalos' Best of 2023


~~~~~

This was another year loaded with quality releases, so much so that, like last year, I had to push back some extremely good records and had to picky extra picky in choosing a top 23. For context, I'd rate everything below an 8.5/10 or above. As always, the most important predictor of a high rating is how likely I would re-listen a given album, and how much much I would enjoy it months after I first spun it. Albums released in winter have a bit of disadvantage given that 'time' element, which is why I periodically reassess my rankings and reorder where necessary. The diversity of genres is on point, I even surprised myself for having included so much underground black/death variety, since this niche is typically overcrowded with cavern-mongering copycats lacking inspiration. Yet it was impossible to disavow the efforts of Wyrgher, Vertebra Atlantis, and Valdrin, who showed once again that smaller, underground labels that easily oust the more established mainstream companies in quality and quantity. 

There was a lot of heresay about 2023 being 'the year of death metal', and though it was definitely a stalwart year for veterans joining back into the foray, I found more enjoyment in the backlog of black metal I listened to. My top 50 has a more comprehensive list of everything I enjoyed in that realm in case you were wondering where all the black metal was at. For sure, my tastes veer more towards the unorthodox and innovative, so it's almost a given that bands like Kvelertak, Dødheimsgard, Enslaved and Malorkarpatan ended up where they did. Insane performances all, the Dødheimsgard disc especially mesmerized me every time I spun it. An elegiac, mind-bending ode to absurdism. 

There are also a couple of 'outliers' like the new In Flames and Voyager, records that seem to fit awkwardly between the grim, subterranean subtext engulfing them. As with previous years, I do not give a damn, these records were on repeat until my ears bled dry this year, and they've earned their spot for having some annoyingly catchy songs. Go figure. Finally, although there's a relatively equitable distribution of genres, it would have been nice to see some more standout tech death this year. My craving for noodling guitars and clinical breakdowns that thankfully satisfied by Gorod with one of their strongest outings to date, although Suffocation and Afterbirth (on my top 50 list) also did well. Other popular albums from this space, like the new Nithing or Nightmarer were either mediocre or poorly executed. 

Links to the albums are below, as well as other random lists I've accrued over the year.

Arthalos' Best of 2022

~~~~~

Another fantastic year, 2022 was where all the unreleased potential from 2021 and 2020 spilled over. Normally, I find it difficult to fill in the last half/quarter of my top 20 lists, not because I don't enjoy those later entries, but rather that I find there is a large removal between the first half and the second in terms of quality. This was certainly not the case this year, and I realized I had such a large bastion of records that the list go up by 30-40 entries. Nonetheless, you can find those non-hierarchically ordered entities in my RYM list alongside short review blurbs. 

Like most of these yearly pickings, it's difficult to find a grand, overarching theme: it's safer to say there was smorgasbord of quality albums from the usual genre suspects... lots of traditional heavy/power, melodic death, some avantgarde/experimental stuff, a small league of varied black metal, and some miscellany. Bands like Shape of Despair, Cult of Luna and Final Light produced some impressive atmospheric material, regardless of whether they evoked a sense dread or majesty, all these bands transported the listener into a plateau ethereal immersion. Cult of Luna, in particular, astonished me so much by raising the bar again after A Dawn to Fear in 2019 that I think it's evident they've become the true inheritors to the Neurosis sound, going above and beyond. 

Sumerlands, Spell and Hell Fire came in guns blazing with trad-heavy, ancient-sounding paeans to 80s metal, inspired by, without mindless recycling riffs. Even Ghost released their most accessible record to date which was somewhat reviled by critics, though personally I enjoyed the shit out of it. More than ever, I'm now ready to pay for one of their extravagant shows. There are also a few records I avoided for a while on account of the hype they were getting across the internet - Cave In and Messa in particular. Upon returning to these albums later on in the year, however, it was evident that they fucking slayed, and between the groovy sludge panache of the former and the morose, oriental charm of the latter there is plenty of inspiration to be found for future sludge/doom practitioners. Immolation, conversely put out the greatest pure death metal album of the year, validated across countless review boards and forums. An impeccable fortress of profanity that should make about 95% of other OSDM outfits wet their pants in terror. The one outlier here is clearly the Final Light debut, an album that caught much less attention than it deserved, which is a shame. It remains a hypnotizing testament to inventiveness across electronic and metal music. 

But nothing could have prepared me for Blind Guardian's masterwork, a record so shocking in how hungry and crushing it was I might consider it the second best album in their sprawling discography. I'd only tie it with Disillusion's Ayam, a record that, as the product of planetary alignment in some oceanborne galaxy, provided me with warmth, comfort, and dreams for days in an otherwise uncompromising universe. Soilwork and Voivod trailed just behind with their most proficient meditations in many years, one melodic and achingly beautiful, the other a challenging remedial pill for our postmodern, cybernetic age. Records I caught myself blasting in the shower over a dozen times. 

As always, thank you for reading. See you all in 2023.

Non-metal Albums I've Enjoyed

In no particular order. These records just represent the few samplings I managed to listen in my down time, when I needed something... less heavy. Mostly records by bands I've been following for a while, so it's in no way meant to be comprehensive.

Arthalos' Best of 2021


This was a bountiful year for all genres at large, and I found myself diversifying into all sorts of avenues of extreme metal, beyond my conventional tastes in prog, doom, traditional and power metal. I probably listened to something in the vicinity of  200-250 new albums this year; the list could have included at least another ten entries that I found to be well worth my time, with all genres well-represented – a testament to sustained quality in songwriting even in the throes of an overlong pandemic. Again, there were stellar performances all across the board. A slew of amazing newsprint progressive power/heavy acts like Edu Falaschi, Silver Talon, Pharaoh and Witherfall take up a large chunk in the top 10, owing not least to the energy and inventiveness that they approached to the niche, managing to stand out amid a throng of fluffy symphonic denizens and Euro power metal. Speaking of symphonic, the only record this year that managed to capture my attention with that tag was the Seven Spires full-length, a wonderful, swashbuckling mirage that wasn't afraid to straddle a number of influences, proving the band should be every bit the successor of the Nightwishes and Epicas of the world. The spectrum, however, was as equally proficient in its musical wizardry as it was epic and memorable, thanks in no small part to groups like Archspire, First Fragment and Obscura, the latter of which stunned me with what seems almost like a perfect 'one step back, two steps forward' approach in the evolution of their style, harkening back to the Gothenburg melodeath etiquette to refresh their established tech death pedigree. Some of these pickings are also grim and beautiful in their own quaint ways, with Sarke, Worm, Thy Catafalque, King Woman, The Silver and most notably Tribulation generating eclectic, forbidding and morose spins on more standardized genre narratives. All in all, this was one of the more memorable years in recent memory, and a lot of musical windfall here provides us with compelling listens well into 2022.

~~~~~

As per usual, anything that drew my attention this year that wasn't metal was probably a splurge of synthwave and synth pop, with a couple of rock records that weren't 'heavy' enough to qualify for the metal list. I don't get to explore that much when it comes to these genres, but I do my best to weed through the relevant releases. I've rounded things off with a sprinkle of pop and and punk/hardcore, although truth be told I'm probably neglecting a lot of really phenomenal efforts that unfortunately went under my radar. All in all, the Jess and the Ancient Ones record was the most addictive, something I've listened to intermittently throughout the year. The Finns have clearly injected an excellent sense of folk, psychedelic and prog rock elements into their compositions, filled to the brim with sequences with sequences so catchy and inspiring that the few sentences on this blurb would do them little justice. Reliable acts like TNFO, Steven Wilson and Perturbator also produced terrific music that probably received nods from a large chunk of the metal crowds, while I was pleased to discover a novel set of pop and synth-pop finesse via Actors, Magdalena Bay and Japanese Breakfast, setting the stage for a future cohort of artists to look out for.

Arthalos' Best Albums of the Year [2020]



All things considered, with the the entire world warped in the Covid-19 pandemic chaos, this was a fruitful year for metal music, but then again it always somehow is. In the end, the leading theme, by an enormous margin, was traditional speed/heavy/doom and classic hard rock. Even though bands with a retro style commemorating the late the 70s and 80s have always drawn me in, this year was a particularly veritable cornucopia of such releases, as represented by my top 20 picks, and many other good albums spilled over into my top 50. Old school won the day. Indeed, in my top 10 alone I have 6-7 releases that can instantaneously trace their lineage back to the sounds of disco and Cold War mania. The Chronus sophomore might be a slight outsider among that motley crew of releases, since they have a much more updated take on trad metal, with quite a few nods to their more infamous countrymen Ghost, but regardless, it was a stellar late entrant into my list. I think I consumed a larger and broader quantity of music this year than the 2-3 years before (although I have no way of accounting for it) though surprisingly this hasn't necessarily enlarged the variety of genres and styles that are always represented to some degree in my picks. 

If anything, this was a rather dull year for innovative, experimental, idiosyncratic metal music in general. Strange and avantgarde acts like Imperial Triumphant, Ulcerate, Old Man Gloom, Mountaineer - bands who gained considerable attention both in the mainstream and in underground circles - failed to impress me, and mostly exhibited a further marriage of metal and post-hardcore elements as the new frontier for envelope-pushing within the genre. That statement obviously excludes Eden in Reverse though, a dizzying exercise in kraut, space rock, black metal and alien shrooms. Perhaps not my favorite by the Greek mavericks - that would have been a tall order - but certainly an apt contender for the soundtrack for 2001: A Space Odyssey.

I probably browsed more RYM lists than any previous year, and hopefully I was able to at least touch upon the bulk of releases that represented their respective sub-genres. Death and black metal acts (as well as black/death hybrids) seemed to dominate extreme metal enthusiasts' lists, and this is certainly well-earned. There was an enormous quality of solid black and death, though in the end there were only a few that were particularly remarkable for me. UK veterans Anaal Nathrakh and Napalm Death continue to annihilate and terrify with their distinct, by now well-matured panoplies of brutalizing grindcore and industrialized malice, respectively. Meanwhile totally new bands like Ossaert and Serment made lasting impressions with enveloping, icy atmospheric black records. Heavy/doom is well-represented, with Lucifer, Spirit Adrift and Pallbearer blazing trails for a newer, more melodic generation. The Hallas record isn't strictly speaking metal, so it could go into either of my lists below, but it was not only a natural refinement of their debut, but also a fantastic journey across the cosmos with a medley of haunting, psychedelic, synth-driven soundscapes that sounded like the lovechild of Hawkwind and Gentle Giant. Finally, the Bütcher record stands out as the most outlandish of the bunch, but it's retained its delicious speed and manic intensity throughout the year, and deserves a spot on the top 5. 

When push came to shove, though, I think there was only one record that shone through and came the closest to perfection in 2020. The Sölicitör debut was just that, a sublime and unreal merger of equal parts Holy Moses, Vicious Rumors, and Exciter with a fittingly dilapidated production to boast. What an amazing record, channeling everything I love about all those bands at their respective career peaks and more, an absolute ass-kicker from start to finish. No other record this year - and, indeed, few records in the few years - made me want to strap on spikes and leather and cascade the empty streets of my city more. And it's the band's debut? Insane.

Edit 01/2021: Added Ulthar's Providence and Valdrin's Effigy of Nightmares, pushed back the Necrophobic album. 

Edit 07/22: Pushed back the High Spirits record, added the Night record. Edit 04/24: Added Protest the Hero, pushed back Kvaen.

As always, YouTube links have been embedded below.

I've also made a longer list of my favorite 50-60 metal albums of 2020, in non-hierarchical, order over at RYM.


** Top 20 Metal Albums **

Runners-up: TIE Eternal Champion (US) – Ravening Iron  | Pallbearer (US) – Forgotten Days
20. Hail Spirit Noir (Gr) – Eden in Reverse
19. Anaal Nathrakh (UK) – Endarkenment
18. Vader (Pol) – Solitude in Madness
17. Ossaert (Nl) – Bedehuis
16. Armored Saint (US) – Punching the Sky 
15. Ulthar (US) – Providence 
14. Serment (Ca) – Chante, ô flamme de la liberté 
13. Napalm Death (UK) – Throes of Joy in the Jaws of Defeatism 
12. Valdrin (US) – Effigy of Nightmares
11. Midnight (US) – Rebirth by Blasphemy
10. Cirith Ungol (US) – Forever Black 
09. Night (Se) – High Tides - Distant Skies
08. Enslaved (No) – Utgard
07. Hällas (Swe) – Conundrum
06. Lucifer (Int) – Lucifer III
05. Chronus (Swe) – Idols
04. Bütcher (Be) – 666 Goats Carry My Chariot
03. Spirit Adrift (US) – Enlightened in Eternity
02. Protest the Hero (Ca) – Palimpsest
01. Sölicitör (US) – Spectral Devastation 


For my non-metal picks, I tried to be a bit more structured this year. I think there was enough interesting material across a swath of genres for me to eke out a top 15. A lot of these albums found their ways into my ears in the last 3-4 months of 2020, and indeed they were quite refreshing to hear after dozens of static black/death metal spelunking. There's a metric ton of 80s-inspired synthpop there, which is what  I suppose my interests lie towards when I'm on the look for something moodier. The production standards on some of those records were insanely gratifying. Other artists (Dool, Ulver, Myrkur) received widespread attention in metal circles due to their associations with the scene, despite, in a lot of cases, having completely evolved from their metallic origins (I'm looking at you, Bergtatt). Never a bad thing. Besides the synthpop frenzy, an eccentric bevy of electronic, pop and rock releases round out the bulk of the list. Honorable mentions include Korine's The Night We Raise and Squarepusher's Be Up a Hello. 


 *Top 15 Non-metal Albums*

15. Jessie Ware (UK) – What's Your Pleasure? (pop)
