I mean it's literally just feel-good beer music. I don't think you're missing anything, if you're not into it they're just not for you :shrug:

Their first album is far and away my favorite because it sounds like pure drunken party metal. It sounds like if Roadhouse was a metal bar and they were the house band, instead of the blind slide guitar guy.

I like their other albums too but they just don't have quite the same vibe.

Sup metal goons? This year sucks. Everything is terrible and my motivation is through the floor. I’ve not even been listening to music because of it. I’m trying to come out of the fog. So I know it’s premature, but what have y’all liked best this year? I just want some cool new poo poo to listen to with a minimum of energy expended. Hoping hearing something awesome reignites my interest in tunes.

I will say that the new Unleash The Archers was pretty good. Genre agnostic though, cause I’m nowhere near picky right now.

Havukruunu was already mentioned but I'll second that because unless something truly miraculous comes out, it's a shoo-in for my AOTY. New Unleash the Archers is v. good too.

Other choice picks from this year so far:

Earth Rot - Black Tides of Obscurity
Nightwish - Human :||: Nature
Alestorm - Curse of the Crystal Coconut
Finntroll - Vredesvävd (only just came out but it's the same extremely consistent Finntroll quality as always)
Falconer - From a Dying Ember
Graceless - Where Vultures Know Your Name
Dark Forest - Oak, Ash & Thorn
Vader - Solitude in Madness

I've been screaming about Alkymist for months now. I didn't know I needed such a grooving before.

Anyway, The Ocean is releasing a new album next week. I can't loving wait. All the tracks they've released so far were great and so were all their past albums. I wonder if the instrumental album will tower over the normal one again…

Fuckin love The Ocean. Didn’t realize that was coming out so soon. Liked the tune with dude from Katatonia.

Also, your screaming has been heard. I checked out Alkymist earlier this year and do dig.

Thank you again guys. Lots to sift through. Glad to see I actually picked up on some of this stuff already, but plenty new stuff to check out too.

Alkymist owns, it's doom for folks who grew up in the 90s, and I mean that in the best possible way. Former members of Detest, Gas Giant and, uh, Düreforsøg. E: If you like the Danish stoner/doom sound, tjek out Konvent and Gaia.

It really is. It's like they made the most archetypal Finntroll album they could, and it's a roaring success.

The album version of that cover is obnoxiously fun, but that remix was just plain obnoxious.

Also I listened to the whole album it's on, and was positively surprised. It's really really solid for that kinda folky filmscore melodeath.

Yeah the new Deftones sounds a little more psychedelic so far, loving it.

Edit: Whole album is really solid and well balanced. Some of these riffs are downright ferocious like Urantia and Radiant City!

Definitely a more prominent shift into the spacier heavy shoegaze/post-rock sound that's been happening gradually for a while; other than a few riffs I almost hesitate to call it a metal album, and that's not a criticism. Chino's shouts are still there on a few tracks, but I think This Link is Dead is the only time he actually screams on the album. It's got some familiar elements, but it's different from anything they've done.
