Der Brecher
Cinematic Blackgaze/Blackened Post Metal/Whateveryouwanttocallit. Cinematic it is though. Grand and majestic. Riddled with odd meters. Unfolds like an epic story with songs flowing seamlessly into one another. I knew „none but a pure heart can sing“ but somehow didn’t listen to „laurestine“ until now. Can’t believe I missed out on this. What an experience. And I‘ll write it a third time, just so you know I mean it: CINEMATIC!
Funeral Fog
Magnificent atmospheric gothic doom. Angellore went all out for this album. Nocturnes will stand the test of time as one of the best albums of 2026.

A Scottish band I knew nothing about, and shame on me, totally, for missing that Live Burial's guitarist Richard Codling was the link, and I listened to Live Burial recently... LOL at @Urso 's comment :) I wasn't ready, but damn, this is one EOY list wrecker for sure!!
Favorite track: Orbus Non Sufficit.

Tremendous blackened thrash that pins you to the wall with its punk energy then opens you up with its deft atmospheric touches. Fair warning, this is a highly addictive listen.
Favorite track: Seize the Stars.

Crown Lands wear their influences on their sleeves but don’t we all, if you love a proggy vibe dig in.

Absolutely phenomenal as always!!! The second I saw the news I stopped what I was doing and went to listen to this on my home system blasting!! Amazing. The sun was just coming out from behind the clouds during the guitar solo, such a perfect moment. I'm so excited for this record. You guys are by far my favorite new band!!!
