Hayduke’s Top 50 of 2020
Take some time to explore my top 50 albums of 2020. There are some choices you’ll like. I promise.
Zebulon Kosted – Torches Behind The Waterfall
A strong ambient blur brings you into a reminiscent period where for a split second you can duplicate the complexity of emotions and feelings you gave birth to while being in the center of life, light, and love.
Subterraen – Rotten Human Kingdom
Above all else, Rotten Human Kingdom is a pissed off beast of an album, a creature formed from the earth itself, sent forth by its mother for the vengeance so richly deserved.
LaColpa – Post Tenebra Lux
Over the course of roughly forty three minutes, spread across five tracks, LaColpa assail the listener with a nightmare of nihilistic intensity.
EXCLUSIVE ALBUM STREAM: Temple of the Fuzz Witch – Red Tide
The key ingredient on this darkly majestic album is riffs.
Shezmu – À Travers Les Lambeaux
Dissonance and psychedelia and brutality..oh, my…
Bog Wizard – From the Mire
Come for the Dungeons & Dragons. Stay for the didgeridoo.
Eremit – Desert of Ghouls
Monolithic, yet with catchy riffs and foot tapping rhythms, the band treads a fine line on the release, pulling off masterfully what sounds like it could have been a yawner on paper.
Room 101 – The Burden
It is utterly bleak, like walking into a ghost town.
EXCLUSIVE TRACK STREAM: Ysengrin – Mia Carne Sepolta & Monumentum
Take the time to really let Initiatio seep into your pores. The payoff is so worth it.
