Demon Hunter was a band that I got really into later in highschool - after I'd clicked with Korn and Slipknot but before I was listening to anything like Suicide Silence. I still hold to this day that there's no more underrated band than this one in the realm of nu-metal/early metalcore. In addition, Demon … Continue reading Review: Demon Hunter – War & Peace
Review: Bring Me The Horizon – amo (& King 810 – Suicide King)
I listened to two new albums this weekend, and due to having other stuff to do I'm going to combine both reviews into a single post. In part, this is because I don't really have a whole lot to say about the new King 810 album, other than that it's just terrible. The new Bring … Continue reading Review: Bring Me The Horizon – amo (& King 810 – Suicide King)
Review: Cane Hill – Kill the Sun (EP)
Wow. Really blown away by this one. Cane Hill is a New Orlean's-based alternative metal band that broke onto the seen with a couple of hits off their self-titled EP in 2015, followed by two albums in 2016 and 2018 respectively. I was a big fan of their first full-length, Smile, which seemed like it … Continue reading Review: Cane Hill – Kill the Sun (EP)
Review: Born of Osiris – The Simulation
The first 2019 album I was looking forward to is here! Born of Osiris are back with their fifth full-length, The Simulation. I've actually been on something of a kick of this band over the last few months. I'd gotten into them right around the release of their last record, Soul Sphere, which was by far the … Continue reading Review: Born of Osiris – The Simulation

It was always going to be Ice Nine Kills. I got into this band during the summer, after seeing them at Warped Tour with a couple buddies of mine, was absolutely blown away, and devoured their discography over the course of the next couple weeks. Their first few albums didn't end up doing much for … Continue reading Top Albums 2018: #1
Top Albums 2018: Runners Up
We're almost to number one, but before I write that post I wanted to go over a bunch of albums that didn't quite make the cut for my top ten this year. Alessandro Cortini & Lawrence English - Immediate Horizon As you can read about here, I've listened to a hell of a lot of dark … Continue reading Top Albums 2018: Runners Up

Oh god we're almost there. The second best (according to me, a person with literally no qualifications or authority) album of the year! Australian heavyweights Parkway Drive are back with their new album Reverence, the sequel to 2015's Ire. In a lot of ways, this is a very direct continuation of that record. They've settled … Continue reading Top Albums 2018: #2
Top Albums 2018: #3
Oof, if people read this blog, a lot of them would probably get upset about this pick, but I have to give this year's bronze medal to Breaking Benjamin's Ember. Obviously, this band is somewhat divisive, although I should qualify what I mean when I say that. Breaking Benjamin is one of the most popular … Continue reading Top Albums 2018: #3
Top Albums 2018: #4
As I get to the top of this list, it gets accordingly more difficult to decide where albums get placed in relation to each other. I've redone the rankings several times now, as recently as today, and I think I've come to a place that I'm happy with, yet I also know that I probably … Continue reading Top Albums 2018: #4

Well it shouldn't be a surprise that as I get toward the end of this list metal albums start to take over. I was actually surprised with how many rap releases I legitimately enjoyed this year, although I can't really say the same for any other genres. I'm certainly not qualified to talk about something … Continue reading Top Albums 2018: #5
