Straightforward and pissed off Grindcore / Mathcore EP that is definitely worth your time. Short but easily some of the best stuff out there. It also has NieR references ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Osi And The Jupiter - Nordlige Rúnaskog (Deluxe Version) (2019)
Juandissimo posted a topic in Miscellaneous,
Not being the most familiar nor keen on this style of music, although I've slowly been easing into it, this record absolutely floored me. The perfect combination of ambient/atmospheric soundscapes with that nordic folk twist. This is beyond beautiful; words cannot do this record justice.

Wilderun - Veil of Imagination (2019)
mR12 posted a topic in Progressive Metal,
Despite never hearing of these guys prior to this, I cannot express how blown away I was. This record is exactly what Opeth would've sounded like had they found a way to balance their heavy sections with their experimental folk/symphonic side.

Although it scored the lowest on my scale of Foals' records, there is much to be said (and heard) about Foals' performance here. Check the comments for my full review.

Slice the Cake - Odyssey to the West (2016)
Lord Kingdom posted a topic in Deathcore,
This is easily one of the top deathcore records to exist (alongside Exoplanet). This is also one of the best concept albums I've ever heard. This truly is a musical masterpiece; this is art.

Pain of Salvation - In the Passing Light of Day (Deluxe) (2017)
KL Bot posted a topic in Alternative Metal,
Pain of Salvation are the kings of concept albums. PoS delivers a heartbreaking story about coming to terms with our mortality as well as reflecting on who we are as individuals. The closing track to this record is something that will stick with me until I die. This is musicianship at its finest.
