OP: I actually haven't heard any of those, which is a treat for me. Favourite heavy-adjacent releases of the YTD: Infant Island - Beneath Shin Guard - 2020 Nuvolascura - As We Suffer From Memory and Imagination... Screamo is like my desert island genre, and these bands are doing it for me. Uniform & The Body - Live at the End of the World... I like the collab records, but this live album is just mean as hell in a way that's even better. Code Orange - Underneath... Seems divisive? But I'm totally on board with how they're spending that major label $$$. Hellish Form - MMXX... Keeper/Body Void side project. Slowwwwwww. Envy - The Fallen Crimson... Might be my favourite record by them. Ozzy Osborne - Ordinary Man... Total Ozzy fanboy, so automatic. I love the big stupid Ozzy of Ultimate Sin - those huge drums and overly polished production. I need to give Infant Island another spin - got lost in the shuffle of a lot of releases. |

I am in the tiny, tiny minority of those who didn't get into OP or Ulcerate's new albums. OP live is life transforming, and I love almost everything they do but never could get into this one. The Spectral Lore split should have been on my original list. |

The Spectral Lore split should have been on my original list. I've never listened to OP so I can't speak to that, but I just want to say that I too dislike the new Ulcerate. I love Shrines of Paralysis, and the songwriting style and chords on the new record just haven't connected with me. As far as I can tell there are dozens of us. |

I have loved a lot of music this year but far and away, the new Paysage d’Hiver has become an obsession. It’s so beautiful, cold, isolated, meditative. It’s incredible and transformative. Two hours seemed daunting to me but enough people have raved about it that I am going to have to give it a listen. The two hour runtime is to its betterment, rather than detriment. I love long albums that make sense. It’s an impression of the artist and something that is incredibly personal. His whole discography is beautifully bleak and Im Wald is the pinnacle. Two hours will feel like minutes in Wintherr’s world and it won’t be enough. |

Yeah it just never stuck with me at all. Same with OP. Just weaker songs to me. You know who didn't take a step backwards? Intronaut. Love their new album. |

I know that it is a Victorian themed-age of enlightenment themed release according to what little is out there on them. I don't know what they do with their chords, but it makes me weep. |

Hard disagree on Intronaut, but I can't ever bring myself to talk shit because they're the only reason I play(ed) metal. |

I think I am in the minority again there too - most of the people I talk to about them didn't care for it at all. I preferred it over Direction of Last Things. Valley of Smoke is still my go-to for them. Contemplating getting the vinyl release of The Challenger. |
