ive stopped giving a shit about modern music for a while
but i guess that new expensive headphones made me care to check out some of the newer stuff
august
then a band that i use to
despise might be a strong word so, lets say dislike : daft punk
sorry but RAM got me
good album + awesome production = #1

run the jewels
i guess the year is over and thats my numero 2


dont know much about 2013, a shit ton less about 2012..
but thats my top 2 for 2013
 
i'm not gonna bother with posting album covers, mainly because i have a severe hangover and am lazy.

xiu xiu - nina
man's gin - rebellion hymns
polkadot cadaver - last call in jonestown
tyranny is tyranny - let it come from whom it may
dillinger escape plan - one of us is the killer
dalstroy - transarktik
coliseum - sister faith
narrows - painted (actually from 2012 but i'm gonna include it anyway because i listened the shit out of this album last year. and this.)
kowloon walled city - container ships
pigs - you ruin everything
kvelertak - meir
 
OP:
We agree about electronic music. Noice.
...
Some shit I really liked from last year:
1. Tesseract - Altered State (truly melodic, unique djent)
2. Cloudkicker - Subsume (instrumental post-metal)
3. Comaduster - Hollow Worlds (some sort of melodic IDM/industrial that is just....fuck...)
4. Chrysalide - Don't be Scared--It's about Life (picking up the torch from Skinny Puppy, but bearing influences from Mindless Self-indulgence) (okay...this is from 2012)
5. DJ Hidden - Enclosed (kinda breakcore, kinda darkstep, kinda IDM...but kinda not)
6. Oyaarss - Bads (industrial in the original sense of the word, yet also somehow urgently contemporary...very 'organic') (also 2012)
7. Russian Circles - Memorial (post-metal how it's supposed to be done)
8. Shining - One one one (...I don't know what to call this. "Avant-hard"? They call themselves "black jazz" (in analogy with black metal)...they connect with the original spirit of hardcore-punk but with insane jazzy flourishes)
9. The Algorithm - Polymorphic Code (drill 'n' bass / breakcore (but more melodic) meets technical metal...let's call it glitch-core) (again, 2012)
10. The Ocean - Pelagial (post-metal how it's supposed to be done...I prefer the instrumental release)

ebola
 
^@the TesseracT album: I cant listen to the version with vocals, the instrumental version is fantastic though! Their bassist is phenomenal!
