The Metal Thread - Version 2

[Epic for Springs]

My brother is a huge fan of theirs. I tried getting into them years ago (Viva Emptiness) bit couldn't.

I probably only care, but the new Deafheaven is their best since New Bermuda like a decade ago. They muted the shoegaze a little and it's damn heavy. The vocals sound great and it's the best vocal performance from George Clarke yet. They feel so much more confident and realized than their last couple of albums.

I was gonna say, it's their best in a while, and it's nice to remember that Kerry McCoy can write some impressive metal riffs in between the more post-rock/shoegaze elements.

If I do have a favorite so far this year, it's probably the new (and possibly final) Pissgrave album, followed by the new Havukruunu.

Pissgrave is niiiiiice.

I stumbled on Eigenstate Zero's Shape of God, Thought of Sun the other day and have been feeling the hell out of it.

They've been teasing it for years, but Coroner announced a tour and a new album finally. If it does happen, it will be their first album since 1993's Grin. Their first four albums are all amazing, so hopefully it comes out.
