Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats - Blood Lust (One of the best rock albums this year)

loving the menace.

Yay, Vol 1 finally reissued! Still lo-fi, but the remaster sounds just fine to my ears, no worse than Blood Lust!

So, what were the equivalent picks of subsequent years in the spirit of this thread? Perhaps:

2012
Goat - World Music: A mix of Afrobeat, psych and Kosmische/space rock via Sweden that sounded fresh at the time and had people transfixed with their masked mysteriousness.
Troubled Horse - Step Inside: Not a popular pick, but nearly everyone I turned on to this loved it. Another Swedish band with members crossing over from Witchcraft/Graveyard, but with a little country twang in there too.

2013
Savages - Silence Yourself: Does this UK post-punk band count? I dunno, but it jumps out as the new thing that people dug. I haven't listened to it in a while but the songs held up live.
Hidden Masters – Of This & Other Worlds: I am obsessed with this band beyond reason. Not everyone seems to get it, but man, if XTC's Dukes of Stratosphear project were as nimble as Cream plus some on-the-dime time changes worthy of King Crimson? Worship worthy, but unfortunately they broke up soon after.

2014
Pallbearer – Foundations Of Burden: I can't really think of one that was as widely liked as the previous years, but people not normally into doom seemed to get into Pallbearer.
Truckfighters – Universe: Swedish road warriors are known to cross the North American continent as much as twice a year when many European bands have never set foot here. It's starting to pay off as their shows gradually get more and more fans coming via word of mouth, and their solid recordings documenting their fuzzy evolution.

2015
Elder – Lore: Seemed to win over a lot of new fans to the doom side. Technically their mix of heavy stoner psych and prog has very little elements of doom left, but people seem to like that term. And sludge, neither of which fit Elder, but babysteps.
Magic Circle – Journey Blind: I thought this would have been huge but it was kind of ignored. Glorious, beautiful rock 'n' doom. A perfect album. I was at Three Floyds brewery last year and was excited to hear them play the entire first album in the restaurant. I don't think anyone other than the staff knew what it was, but I saw some head noddin'.

2016
Khemmis – Hunted: Got the attention I thought labelmates Magic Circle should have gotten. A great progression from their debut just a year before, they deserve the attention.
Syd Arthur – Apricity: While their second album, Sound Mirror (2014) drew some attention, I thought this album, which was even more accessible, a gorgeously produced mix of Canterbury prog and psych with some beautiful tunes, would be much bigger.

2011
Graveyard - Hisingen Blues: I didn't see a ton of hype online, but their shows were always at capacity, so word of mouth was working.

2010
Tame Impala - Innerspeaker. Even more impressive than Ghost's and Uncle Acid's cult ascension was Tame Impala. I don't think there was any big business push, it was pretty organic -- I saw them go from a 400 capacity club that year to headlining huge festivals the next.

It would be really awful if you were able to put together a playlist of some of this stuff :) It was my bread and butter for a while there (Trouble, Obsessed, St. Vitus) but sort of fallen away from - would love a primer, if such a thing were possible.

savages don't really fit in with the others imo

I have a couple playlists I made a few years back:

21st Century Doom

Best of '10s

Other options for bubbling under cult fave rock/metal release from 2013: SubRosa, Avatarium, Fuzz, Windhand, Anciients, Blood Ceremony, Purson, Chris Forsyth, Jex Thoth, Goatess. I also very much liked Spirits of the Dead and Wolf People, but their type of nocturnal psych prog doesn't seem to have wide appeal.

less metal more psych+glam rock. yessss.

New album's good. More rock and less doom suits this band very nicely.

liking the new one a lot

I think this new one is my favorite by them. Fantastic cover art too!

I think it's their best since Blood Lust & Vol 1 for sure.

I heard the band line up changed massively.
THought i was hearing a lotof glam in the sound early on so more of that would be welcome. Or is that a return to the earlier sound after them having become more metally, think I've not heard a couple.

it's pretty solid

I've been getting more mileage out of this one than...maybe any of their other albums, actually

It took a while, but side two has grown on me in an enormous way. What a terrific album.
