I already have quite a few albums to look forward to in 2016, so I figured we'd go ahead and get this thread started. The two so far are the upcoming Ctheilist and Lycus albums. Ctheilist embody all that is great with strange Lovecraftian death metal, while Lycus are an incredibly solid funeral doom outfit.
Another band from a few years ago I forgot about. Rather good post-hardcore driven black metal. The hardcore melodies differ this from the average atmos black band I feel without pushing too far into hardcore territory. Track 4 is really uplifting I find.
"Strange, atonal chords drift in and out of ethereal (yet oddly tactile) clouds of distortion that seem to spontaneously erupt into lightning cracks of blast beats and queasy hi-hat rides while the vocals speak in maledictions."
Sounds filthy and dark enough for me. The excessive atonal or whatever-that-high-pitched-guitar-picking-is-called riffing gets really boring after a bit though.
Fairly decent and fresh sounding death/black from Hong Kong. Vocals resemble growls for the most part. Has quite a bit of ethnic instrumentation too. Love the video game-y art.
Freakishly weird and cool Norwegian bm overridden with synths and theremins and mellotrons or whatever bells and whistles. Damn, I need a full length already.
This is quite a tasty listen, closest to De Magia Veterum than anything else. My favorite and most played Mories release this year and might stay that way too. Artwork is gorgeous as well.
Very nice sounding riffy black metal from Daemon Worship Productions. This is streamable in full but not legitimately and they seem to have eschewed Bandcamp for the time being. Here's the only available song.

What am I doing checking out other people's recs? Well being without wifi does weird things to my brain I guess. Or I am just not able to fucking go out and scourge for good stuff. Fuck.
Anyway cool song that, always love Daemon Worship stuff personally. Also what do you mean by the earlier stuff of that Nuttruck or whatever band? I don't see any other side project or previous release except those two eps.

Yeah I meant the earlier EP, rather than the later one. The first one sounds quite good with a solid sound, but the second one with the wobbly sound seems really silly to me. Almost sounds like a joke or something.
Yeah it does sound a bit silly but I kinda enjoyed it. Maybe he is experimenting with different stuff. Would be really interesting to hear more from him and what he does with it.

this thread is so great, I keep finding incredible stuff. These are downright life changing.

Oh, I could swear he was the actual vocalist at some point. But checking the sources I see I'm probably wrong then =p
I think it might have to do with the fact that the vocalist used to sound pretty similar to him

!T.O.O.H.! meets black metal. From Czech Republic as well. Sounds pretty fine to be honest. They call their music "grey metal" Umbrtka - Hlavní stroj[/center]
This sounds pretty damn cool. Your "TOOH meet BM" description is pretty accurate I'd say.
