I assume most of my top picks will do pretty well on their own so I'll add a few recs:
Aara - En Ergo Enaihttps://aara.bandcamp.com/album/en-ergo-einai
andEtoile Filante - Magnum Opus Caelestishttps://etoilefilante-northernsilence.bandcamp.com/
Couple of fiddeent flavours of atmoblack, both quite epic without being too over the top, Aara have some nifty neoclassical-inspired riffing, Etoile Filante wuth some rather nice proggy keys.
Herxheim - Incised Arrivalhttps://herxheim.bandcamp.com/album/incised-arrival-lp
Nastier black metal from ex-Howls of Ebb frontman, unrefined and crude but has an edge of weirdness that makes it notable.
SouphL - CommérageShttps://souphl.bandcamp.com/album/comm-rages
Chaotic multi-bass mathcore collective from Canada. On the more experimental end of mathcore, doesn't always hang tghether too well but it's engagingly bizarre.
Ivan - Silver Screenshttps://solitudeproductions.bandcamp.com/album/silver-screens
Dreamlike and exploratory death-doom.

One more for now
Edenic Past - Red Amacordhttps://edenicpast.bandcamp.com/album/red-amarcord
Three quarters of Krallice and an enraged pig go Br0000tally technical

Thx, uug!
I liked Aara's first album even more but their second is quite good as well. They've got another one coming up btw – should be out in March.
The SouphL, while indeed disjointed, is definitely among the more unique metal LPs I heard last year.
Herxheim very good as well, although I preferred Cultivating Throne of Fur.

Regarding the last point, so did I tbh.

Also I made a mistake with Edenic Past, Lev Weinstein isn't involved, I assumed he was despite noting the programmed drums last year!

Gonna campaign a bit for a release I re-listened to today - Draghkar's 'At the Crossroads of Infinity' - really dug a lot of the solos - exploding trad melodic metal flair, and there's a nice marriage of European riffy black metal with an American Death Metal atmosphere/song construction. On re-listens from 2020 releases, this is one I know I'll come back to a lot. The band's 'Eternal Abyss' comp from 2019 is pretty good too.
