I still don't get Neurosis, mostly because all of the shouting, but I'm grateful for their strand of metal. Case in point: the new Inter Arma album, which is more symphonic than 99% of the bands that slap this label on their name.

Back on the topic of power metal, I'm enjoying Ghost Ship Octavius, a new band with people from Nevermore and God Forbid. On the less-theatrical end of the power-metal spectrum, despite what you might assume from the fantabulous name...

Dead to a Dying World - Elegy(@profound_lore)A myriad of voices, sounds, textures, and ideas come at you. 'Elegy' eloquently dispatches convention with conviction and makes what could possibly be my favorite album of the year.

They characterize their work with Dadabots as working towards “eliminating humans from black metal.”

The Dead to a Dying World is alright, but it feels a tad… emotionally manipulative? I don't think it holds a candle to the Inter Arma.
