12 Alcest - Kodama 482 Points, 14 Votes

"Kodama" the fifth album from Blackgaze pioneers, Alcest, marks the French duo's ferocious return to the stylistic maximalism of its early albums while continuing the band's relentless pursuit for new sounds and fresh ideas.
"Kodama" is the Japanese word for 'tree spirit' and 'echo' and from the album's structure and dynamics to its cinematic sound, "Kodama" indeed 'echoes' Alcest's 2010 classic, "Écailles De Lune". But this is no simple back-to-the-roots album: the band has more punch, rhythm and organic feel than ever before. While clearly influenced by bands like The Smashing Pumpkins, Tool, Dinosaur Jr, Grimes and The Cure, "Kodama" ultimately reveals itself as Alcest's 'Japanese album', drawing substantial inspiration from Japanese art and culture.

Originally triggered by Hayao Miyazaki's anime film "Princess Mononoke", "Kodama" picks up on the fate of its protagonist and, at its core, deals with the sensation of not belonging; of living in between worlds, be it city and nature or the physical and spiritual one. Duality is also crucial for the visual approach of the album, realized by French graphic designer duo Førtifem. Paying tribute to Japanese illustrators like Takato Yamamoto, the visuals portray contrasting elements like nature/urbanity, youth/death, femininity/animality and combine poetic elements with darker ones that were not present in Alcest's earlier works.

By giving the album a cultural, stylistic and compositional narrative, Neige and Winterhalter keep "Kodama" from just being the latest improvement on the Alcest sound and instead make the album a most rare and exciting thing: a vital, relevant record from a pioneer that not only upholds the band's trailblazing legacy but actually makes you want to see where they go next.

jeez man. WTF is going to be in the top 10? probably only 1 thing I voted for.

contrasting elements like...femininity/animality

I like this album fine but it's the sound of a band treading water

Yeah that was kind of an oversight... I don't like it as much as some previous efforts, but it's still very lovely. Eclosion favourite track.

Would anyone have flipped and voted for Astronoid instead of Alcest if they heard it in time?

https://bolzer.bandcamp.com/album/hero

IRON BONEHEAD PRODUCTIONS is proud to present BÖLZER's massively anticipated debut album, Hero. Hailing from Switzerland, BÖLZER are one of the most unique entities the metal underground has birthed in years. For one, BÖLZER are proudly and resolutely a duo, using the barest essentials of voice, guitar, and drums and yet creating one of the densest, most world-eating sounds around. For another, the duo have wisely and patiently parceled out their recordings, with a lone nine songs to date across three records - 2012's Roman Acupuncture demo, 2013's IRON BONEHEAD-released Aura EP, and 2014's Soma EP - judiciously chronicling the band's evolution into one of the most critically acclaimed metal bands in recent memory. And yet, "critical acclaim" has never been a part of BÖLZER's agenda: their commitment is to their art alone, but it just so happens that word-of-mouth built organically (and feverishly), especially on the strength of their devastating, soul-draining live performances, where they can recreate every aspect of their records in the flesh.

And at long last, flesh is given to a full-length album, and it bears the characteristically idiosyncratic title Hero. Here, in many ways, BÖLZER break from their past. Rich 'n' resonant clean vocals often take center stage, lending an alternately mournful/majestic quality to the duo's earth-juddering bulldoze. Likewise, the production across Hero is categorically cleaner than their grime-coated EPs, which dynamically enhances the spiraling melodicism that explodes into being here. Suitably, the songwriting itself takes on dazzling new contours, wending 'n' winding with even more fluidity - and certainly more daring - than the band's epic-yet-effortless EPs. And yet, for however seemingly radical these developments are - ultimately, they shouldn't be that "radical" in the hands of capable and sincere artisans - it all sounds like BÖLZER, both what they were, what they can be, and most especially, what they currently are. Every aesthetic suggestion, every subtle nuance, every thing left unsaid in the past: here on Hero, it's all harnessed into a molten maelstrom that's ever more unique (and alien) because it's unshackled itself from expectation. It is, in a word, heroic. But what is the meaning of Hero? Discover for yourself, plunge into that maelstrom, and let BÖLZER be your guide.

had to make some hamburgers before I'm too impaired but I guess all I missed was Bolzer (hambolzers)

thanks for the rollout as usual, I have no idea what's gonna be in the top 10

Devilock, Tuesday, 20 December 2016 21:53 (seven years ago) link

I liked the Horse Lords record a lot, all year long, but no-way no-how is it a Metal record, and I strongly feel it should not have been eligible in the end of the year Poll. Oh well.

actually surprised Chilean death/thrash band Ripper didn't make the top 100 -- as retro thrash goes, it was pretty fun

and yeah, pre-emptive thanks for doing this!!

In an alternate timeline he is one of the most influential and important figures in metal, and Strapping Young Lad are a multi-platinum arena act. Sadly, not in this timeline though.

I really appreciate all the input of dudes on this thread. I heard a ton of stuff that I'd have otherwise ignored and found some real gems. That said, my picks appear way off base of consensus so far. Maybe I'll be surprised by the top 20? Where's the metal tho? A lot of this stuff is gateway for curious listeners of other genres, which is cool, I'm omniverous in my listening, too. But really, this poll stretches the definition of metal. I love slimy, pit demon, black thrash barf. I'd chill on NWN but that's a vile and childish scene. I'm hanging up my horns. Btw, a band I play in has placed already.

I'm actually amazed Occult Burial placed at all. Glad, though. And Void Meditation Cult. Hostium and Mortem were also good, in the NWN vein, which, yes, is a resource best used with minimal interaction.
