Too Soon? Modtoid Man’s Best of 2018… So Far

0

Welp, Coheed and Cambria haven’t dropped their next album yet, and Sandrider’s newest effort is sitting pretty in July, so that basically leaves us with a lot of music fighting for third place in my book.

But what a list it is! From captivating soundscapes that give way to unrelenting rage (Rolo Tomassi), to the seamless melding of disparate genres (Zeal & Ardor), it’s been a wild-ass year for heavy music. Here’s some of the stuff that’s played in my ears while I’ve been deleting your unsavory comments:

Amorphis – Queen of Time (Nuclear Blast)
Boss Keloid – Melted on the Inch (Holy Roar)
Harakiri for the Sky – Arson (AOP)
Harm’s Way – Posthuman (Metal Blade)
Hated – Breathless Art (self-released)
Hooded Menace – Ossuarium Silhouettes Unhallowed (Season of Mist)
Khemmis – Desolation (20 Buck Spin)
King Witch – Under The Mountain (Listenable)
Orphaned Land – Unsung Prophets and Dead Messiahs (Century Media)
Night Verses – From The Gallery of Sleep (Equal Visions)
Thy Catafalque – Geometria (Season of Mist)
Ripped to Shreds – 埋葬 (“Mai-Zang”) (Night Rhythms Recordings)
Rolo Tomassi – Time Will Die and Love Will Bury It (Holy Roar)
Sleep – The Sciences (Third Man)
TesseracT – Sonder (Kscope)
Weedpecker – III (Stickman)
Zeal & Ardor – Stranger Fruit (MVKA)
