Deafheaven - New Bermuda
i don't care what kvlt people say this album is the bomb. if anybody has any thoughts of listening to black metal but not because of church burnings, satanism etc etc you should definitely disregard all of those preconceived notions and listen to this album because its wonderful. standout tracks include all of them (i can say that because there's only 5 in the first place)
really though if i hAD to pick one, the opener 'brought to the water" is sick nasty
honourable mentions: the black dahlia murder - abysmal, death grips - the powers that b (idk if that reeeally counts or not but who cares), fear factory - genexus, cattle decapitation - the anthropocene extinction, an autumn for crippled children - the long goodbye
