Aside from Retrocausal, the one I'd like you all (and D.A.M. in particular) to hear is the Corpse Garden, a brilliantly psychedelic death-trip through Costa Rican drug magic, led by a wondrous fretless bass performance

I may vote later today since I have a day off from visiting my mum in hospital. (she fell last week and broke her leg on the icy pavement because the council didn't salt them despite the weather being treacherous and she lay on the pavement for two hours in excruciating agony waiting for the ambulance because they had thousands of similar scenarios across the country ) and she wont be home for Christmas.
Fuck the Council!

It definitely got some votes last year though I don't think it cracked 101.

The Zeal & Ardor was released independently and also saw a vinyl release in 2016 however MVKA Records gave it an 'official' US release on 2/24/2017 and it was also the first time it appeared on CD anywhere.

The ones I've listened to a lot this year are Jute Gyte, Akvan (Iranian folk/black metal hybrid that integrates oud with intense black metal), and Árstíðir lífsins (epic progressive Icelandic folk metal). Converge is catching up too. Are there any Branca-metal releases I should check out urgently? Gnaw Their Tongues?

I had heard both Krallice releases but hadn't given them enough time. Loum is pretty great, esp, and I just bought it. The Thantifaxath surprises me: pretty eclectic with some dazzlingly intense passages.
