It's been almost a year since I set up this blog and what do you know. I haven't wrtiten anything until now!
But it's time to finally get to it so let's begin with the albums I enjoyed the most in 2024.
Arcos, bóvedas, pórticos - Tenue #
The latest album by the post-hardcore band Tenue, hailing from Galicia, is a true labor of love, packed with raw emotion amid the melodic chaos of its songs. Jazz-infused passages provide moments of respite between the more intense sections, creating space for reflection and heightening the emotional impact of the distorted, tremolo-laden riffs that define the album.
Coup de Grace - Seeyouspacecowboy... #
Seeyouspacecowboy... brings their unique brand of hardcore, known as Sasscore, to life with a throwback to the 2000s screamo scene. They blend nostalgic influences with fresh grooves and production quality that far surpasses anything from that era. Featuring anthemic choruses, infectious melodies, and a standout vocal performance by Connie Sgarbossa—who adds a dose of sass with her quasi-falsetto voice—this album showcases the best of what a modern yet retro-inspired metal record can be.
Absolute Elsewhere - Blood Incantation #
A true masterpice. This album answers the question of what if progressive death metal was a product of the 70s.
The Future Holds Nothing But Confrontation - Giver #
Under the Shadow of a Foreign Sun - Piah Mater #
The Last Will And Testament - Opeth #
Coma - Gaerea #
Opera - Fleshgod Apocalypse #
Time II - Wintersun #
Hopium - Kingcrow #
Powernerd - Devin Townsend #
Thanks for reading!
