Starer – Wind, Breeze, or Breath
Starer can basically do know wrong. Each album is part of a cohesive sound, yet each also has its own unique elements.
Hayduke’s Top 50 of 2022
Welcome back to another edition of Hayduke’s top 50. I want to remind everyone that musical taste is entirely subjective. I do not claim that these are the best releases of 2022, only that they are my favorite 50. Also note that this is a snapshot in this moment...
Starer – The What It Is To Be
Immense. Emotional. Gripping. Mature. All of these are adjectives which could be used to describe The What It Is To Be.
Olim – A Mighty Disposition
The atmosphere is tense and ominous, while simultaneously being subtly relaxing and full of emotion.
Hayduke’s Top 50 0f 2021
Enjoy Hayduke’s Top 50 of 2021 list.
Dysthymia – Dysthymia
The ride is dark, and often hopeless. I also find it cathartic.
Lhaäd – Below
This debut album sucks all the air out of your lungs and holds you under for the entirety of its forty minute run-time.
EXCLUSIVE ALBUM STREAM: Nameless Mist – Nameless Mist
It’s the type of album that can be hard to write about objectively, because it’s really more about how it grabs me and about how it makes me feel, than it is about particular riffs, rhythms, or anything else.
Lóstregos – Onde Calan Os Corazóns Ruxen As Pedras
I’m in awe of this album. It has grabbed me viscerally and thoroughly.
Mistral – Somnifer
Let this album caress your psyche. Feel the yearning and the anguish, the joy and the bittersweet sadness.
