    Great video fellas! IOTUNN Kinship is definitely my album of the year! Great summary of this killer album!

  • @themetalmeltdownofficial
    @themetalmeltdownofficial 2 дні тому +8

    Hard to argue with any of this. I'd also throw in Umbra Vitae, Hideous Divinity, and Slimelord. In general an excellent year for death metal.

    @petercrushingc 2 дні тому +5

    Blood Red Throne - Nonagon, was one of my favorites.
    Along with a band I just discovered: Abhorration - Demonolatry. Holy moly, If you´re into old Morbid Angel, this is a MUST listen! Death Metal from Norway also.

    I love the Kinship album. Easily in my top 5 of the year. Not sure I'd call it death, but I hear your points. It's squarely in prog for me. I'd check out the Hideous Divinity album from this year if you haven't. That was one of my biggest surprises of the year. Another great vid though. Love the end of the year lists.

    • @robchristenson3108

      I concur..I love them but would never put them in a death metal classification. There were a couple of other stretches here..Kannonfeiber?

    I also truly enjoyed the following:
    Disparaged - Down the Heavens
    Livløs - The Crescent King
    Paganizer - Flesh Requiem
    Carved in Blood - Throughout an Ancient Ride
    Bloodcrown - Sound of Flesh and Bone

    Kinship by Iotuun absolutely blew my socks off and is my album of the year by a country mile. I am also in my late thirties, so maybe a connection there, haha. I also really enjoyed Exhaust by Pyrrhon which didn't blow my socks off as much as it melted them in radioactive goo.

  • @kauffeemug

    Iotunn - Kinship
    Replicant - Infinite Mortality
    Convulsing - Perdurance

    Here’s an album I think a lot of people missed:
    Monument of Misanthropy -
    Vile Postmortem Irrumatio
    Great Death Metal concept album based on the life and murders of serial killer Ed Kemper.
    It’s incredible.

    @1972Diogenes День тому

    Great picks from a year of so many releases. My list looks very much like yours, minus 200 Stabwounds, Necrot and Convulsing. Stronger picks for me would be Daath, Vale of Pnath and Ripped to Shreds. Honourable mention for Ubiquity : Belgian band that released "The Ascendant travels among the stars" for old Opeth-worship done really well.

    Iotunn is so underrated. I do not understand how Access All Worlds was not the Where Owls Know My Name of 2021. Iotunn really has something for all fans-- techdeath, prog, and melodeath fans. Why do they get so overlooked? Is it the clean vocals?

  • @robchristenson3108
    @robchristenson3108 День тому

    I would add Radiant Black, Abramelin, Cognitive,Cryptic Hatred and Laceration for albums of true death that rose above this year. Loved JFAC, Undeath and of course Blood Incantation. Been listening to death metal since 91' and was this year delivered. Little shocked you included Iotunn(who i love) and Kannonfeiber under the genre but thats just me being nitpicky. Make America Grind Again!!!!!!!!!

  • @phillippalmejar9548

    -Vitriol
    -Atrae Bilis
    -Unsane
    -Brodequin
    -Fleshgod Apocalypse
    I also didnt really categorize Iotunn as Death Metal, but I'm fully on board with them on ANY list. Easily top 5 AOTY, possibly even #1. I agree that it's superior to Ihsahn and Borknagar too

  • @dennyt2704

    @MisterBrimm 2 дні тому

    OH SNAP! I forgot about Necrot on my lists! I keep spreadsheets on this sh*t but sometimes entries get overlooked, I saw them LIVE this year it was rad, they are excellent. I have all their vinyl and a shirt, anyways, thanks for the reminder! Here's my top 21:
    Apogean - Cyberstrictive / Canada
    Bedsore - Dreaming the Strife for Love / Italy
    Blighted Eye - Agony's Bespoke / USA
    Blood Incantation - Absolute Elsewhere / USA
    Civerous - Maze Envy / USA
    Coffin Curse - The Continuous Nothing / Chile
    Convulsing - Perdurance / Australia
    Deception - Daenacteh / Norway
    Devenial Verdict - Blessing of Despair / Finland
    Gigan - Anomalous Abstractigate Infinitessimus / USA
    IOTUNN - Kinship / Denmark
    Kvadrat - The Horrible Dissonance of Oblivion / Greece
    Living Gate - Suffer As One / Belgium
    Necrot - Lifeless Birth / USA
    Nile - The Underworld Awaits Us All / USA
    Pyrrhon - Exhaust / USA
    Rhûn - Conveyance in Death / USA
    Slimelord - Chytridiomycosis Relinquished / USA
    Ulcerate - Cutting the Throat of God / New Zealand
    Veilburner - The Duality of Decapitation and Wisdom / USA
    PS: You guys also reminded me about Convulsing, turned out I did listen to it and gave it a super high score, I also forgot freaking Veilburner, their album was ASTOUNDING. So I converted to a top 21!
    PSS: If you guys love that IOTUNN record you should hear Schammasch - The Maldoror Chants: Old Ocean from Switzerland, its an elegant piece of post metal that often resembles the tone of Kinship.

    JFAC and Iotunn are the only bands that'd be in my top 10 DM this year. But the list is still absolutely great - can't really object anything except that Kannonenfieber is more of a black metal act to me (yep it's somewhere in the middle). The problem is that death was too huge this year. As for Nile - what should we rave about? It's Nile - you know what to expect. Nothing surprsing, nothing disappointing, If you're long-time fan, you'll appreciate, if not, this will not turn you in either. What I really missed mentioned is Vitriol. That's a defining album for this year as it came out so soon. That dense sound is really one of the high points of this year. Others I liked this year - Acrid Death, Summoning The Lich, Daath, Fleshgod Apocalypse, Carrion Vael, Exocrine, Bloody Falls, Vale Of Pnath... and many more of course.

The new Mitochondrian album is a MONSTER, and for that daunting run time, I didn't get bored. Wormed, Slimelord, Defeated Sanity, Adversarial, Devenial Verdict, and the new Neckbreakker were all amazing. And I know you guys pay pretty close attention to Transcending Obscurity: the new Misanthropy album is some stellar tech death, definitely worth a listen!!
