I've mentioned it before, I think, but at metal-archives there's a "worthwhile albums of 2015" thread, updated almost daily, and it's where I learn about half the shit I post about here. I highly recommend browsing it from time to time:http://www.metal-archives.com/board/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=108625
(The end of the thread especially is where the lesser known stuff pops up in a year-end scramble, so: work backwards!)

The more I listen to it, the more I think that if I'd heard the Batushka record early enough, it might have ended up at #1 on my list. Holy fuck.

yeah i listened to that monumental closer on your recommendation - had some very cool passages from what i could tell, will def return to it. you know it's a remaster/reissue of an album from 17 years ago, right?
― artsvashen (imago), Saturday, 6 February 2016 11:05 (eight years ago) link
Yeah, an EP, Calibros/So Fucking Tired is new, I thought?, and takes over half of the album, so I figured it would count
(I swear imago that this was not a veiled attempt to get you to answer my post on the other thread though lol)
