joelryden Came on Bandcamp looking to scratch a heavy metal itch. Found the album Paradise Metal now I'm going into work in robes, sandals and wafting an incense burner around.

Nate Grimes Loved this holy music. ✝️ please release on CD

LIGHT PROGRAMME WoW, this is astonishing, I love this - moves from droney poney to monks chanting & every track rips...

stolufanboy This album is the definition of charisma and good vibes. Amazing duo Favorite track: TGD.

Farid Williams Incredible album. each track is a gem. Album of the year. Favorite track: Unspokern.

Afua Darko Wow! This album is in HEAVY rotation. If it aint Special then I DONT WANT IT!! Definitely AOTY for me. The Dallas and Detroit musical connection/legacy between Liv.e and Karriem makes this duo a must watch in the next years. Soulful, refreshing and inspiring work. Thank you for this special gift! 🤲🏿 Favorite track: Dream a Twinkle.

cierro crunchy, aggro, poppy, simmering, ambivalent. will be surprised if something else takes the crown but rn my 2026 aoty, ez. Favorite track: Mere Wisp.

gnawbone.unhinged I mean c'mon gonna be fire on this album Favorite track: HAZY.

SlithyToves Mr Orcutt pours his white hot molten guitar tone into the musical mold of many a melody’s joyous filigree. His work could crown the brow of Dionysus and Apollo both. If development in the minimalism of Glass unfolds ‘horizontally’ by gradations across time, Orcutt generates variety within repetition ‘vertically’ by overlaying to produce emergent properties.

blox Thank you Bill it really is a pleasure being seduced by your soundworld!

chumpwhmo This album is raw, in your face. This album is sophisticated, too. Deceptively simple and somehow also very conscientiously layered. It makes little sense to me, and I understand every note. Favorite track: Because sharp also smooth.

sludgymo Magic. Excites me to live life. Utter joy.

Joe Farrell My introduction to Caio Lemos came earlier this year when I stumbled upon the latest Kaatayra release and fell in love with it. Vauruvã is different, somewhere between Kaatayra and Krallice, but no less magical. Favorite track: As Selvas Vermelhas no Planeta dos Eminentes.

porcelainheart- I skipped over this when it first came out, not sure why but as you can see, it's never too late to do the right thing. Three tracks of some of the easiest listening on the black metal side. This has so many intricately layered folk acoustics that worm their way into your head and stay there for hours, a unique blend that I'm surprised hasn't been done as well before. It translates into some of the best songwriting I've heard in black metal period. FFO Downfall of Nur, Akvan and Mare Cognitum. Favorite track: As Selvas Vermelhas no Planeta dos Eminentes.

boinky37 I've been obsessed with this since buying it. There's so much anguish and yearning packed into these songs, but also hopefulness and determination to move towards a better world with the old world as a guide Favorite track: Legado.
