Catching up on missed releases from earlier this year:
This one is probably a grower, it feels like it has potential to get into the brain
Some alternative stoner rock, maybe? It's listed as alternative rock, but I think stoner or sludgy might fit...

My Metal AOTY (7/7)
1 Stick to your Guns Keep Planting Flowers
Incredibly short, but it spares nothing in the performance. I'd much rather have the complaint that something was too short than it had fillers.
This is my most played album & no matter what I am doing at the time it never stays in the background. It always pulls me full force into the emotions & there's one song that always leaves me raw, in a cathartic way.
If NIN was the emotional "noise inside my head" in my twenties, then this is the soundtrack of my complex emotional processing for 2025

My Metal AOTY (6/7)
2 Dimscua Dust Eater
This blackened doom is brutal in the best way possible. An instant hit as soon as it started playing and when you find out more information it becomes understandable & even more soul wrenching.
This really did fight hard to be number one, and it was so hard to put it onto second place

My Metal AOTY (5/7)
3 Battlesnake Dawn of the Exultants and the Hunt for the Shepherd
This is feel good metal artistry that manages to take itself really seriously, but also not seriously at all.
Epic feel good with killer earworms that will leave you grinning for days.
Shout out to the band for having Samuel Frank do the album cover artwork, it's just as epic as the music.

My Metal AOTY (4/7)
4 King Kraken March of the Gods
Old school vibe, but with a modern feel. This South Wales band hits hard with an album so full of monsters and riffs that it's hard not to grin and holler along ;)

As it's the top 5, single posts with a music link & something about each from here on in ;)
5 Paradise Lost Ascension - Doom
I might surprise people by having this here, but there are no free rides with my AOTY
Good solid PL stuff, a bit long with the extended version, good but there are better options in the higher ranks of this list ;)

I asked chatgpt what genre gothic is about and got the answer: "Gothic music often addresses deeper emotions, which many people find cathartic. Engaging with sadness, loss, or pain can lead to a sense of release.
The combination of darkness and beauty can unleash positive, creative energy. "I agree. So here is my choice ...and oceans 🦇🌊

I get the feeling this has a #NWBHM to it, if you like classic old school metal turn this might be your new jam.
