Best Music of 2021

My daughters were enjoying it

But then again, whenever my oldest is asked what kind of music she likes, she always responds with "death metal"

@Enaz Fox shared this over on the Metal! thread, but I had to share it here. One of the best metal albums I've heard in awhile. One of the best of the year. I'd say it's a fairly accessible death metal album overall from a very obscure band. The riffing is insane

Agreed on the guitar riffs! Holy!!!

Yeah, I think my wife would be down with the riffage but definitely not the vocals!

Consider the harsh vocals as just another instrument

I do. But she can't stand it.

I'm not sure my wife cares for the harsh vocal styles much either. #ItIsWhatItIs

First listens I'm no thrilled honestly. She has always been a "nighttime" artist for me and this is just so sunny its throwing me off lol

But I also hated Greenlight at first so dont trust my first instincts here lol

Here's another perspective on her latest video

Just discovered this on Bandcamp. It's a post-rock/neoclassical album from a French quartet: BRUIT ≤ with their debut album The machine is burning and now everyone knows it could happen again. This is honestly some of the best post-rock I've heard in awhile
