Hayduke’s Top 50 0f 2021
Enjoy Hayduke’s Top 50 of 2021 list.
Myrkgand – Old Mystical Tales
Dynamic pacing, well thought out composition, a strong vocal performance, and earworm riffing all contribute to making this an album well worth hearing.
Pessimista – Uma saída
Through the extra time allowed on a full length, the artist really spreads their wings, taking the time to develop each feeling, each howl, each riff, each drum stroke.
0-NUN – The Shamanic Trilogy
First, the chaos, then the separation, then the rising away from all, from everything…from anything.
Pessimista – Sanidade?
Pessimista works first and foremost from a thematic base of DSBM, though stylistically, I find a lot of raw influences present as well (though not Raw, if you understand the difference).
Calligram – Askesis
You’ll want to strike that match.
Corpsia – Genocides In the Name of God
It’s always good to hear a fresh take on some old thrash with modern twists.
Freaky Jelly – Reverse
Lovers of progressive rock by nature will delight in the sounds of Moog synthesizers, skittering time signatures, churning bass figures, and soaring guitar runs.
Jupiterian – Terraforming
If Minsk and Portal had a baby in a swamp that was then raised on a desert in outer space, “Terraforming” would be it in sonic presentation.
Daydream XI – The Circus of the Tattered and Torn
Untempered heaviness meets beauty and melody at every turn.
