0:25-4:36
CARNOSUS (Sweden)
Calamity Crawl
— A proggy dance with limbs flailing, until it mashes to a blast-beated death and thrash, a tumbling avalanche of vocals, and proggy guitar compositions.  One of the best already.   

5:35-11:56
OAK PANTHEON (MN)
Listen!
— Galloping death, heartbreaking rocking post-metal, with vocals that ride high and lyrics to memorize. Reminded me of Tool and Opeth.

12:25-19:19
OMEGA INFINITY (AU)
Iron Age (feat Adrienne Cowan)
— Album cover is perfect to couple with the sound.  Black metal textured with reverb and keyboards twinkling, creating atmospheric space to allow your brain to float.  

19:42-23:48
DEVISER (Greece)
Absence of Heaven
— Melancholy, doomy melodic black metal, a sharply bladed vocalist to cut through.  The heavy metal guitar ballads were welcome.

24:35-30:10
GRAVEHUFFER (MS)
The Cryptid and the Iron Bird
— Hardcore-influenced chomping atmospheric death with builds and immense riffs. 

30:37-37:58
CULT OF FIRE (Slovakia)
Jai Maa!
— Sure, an Indian Hare Krishna melodic is definitely a good/normal addition to a savage black metal.  This band made it to my Best of 2020 list.

38:16-42:33
SARCOPTES (CA)
Spanish Flu
— Clutching pearls.  This is a driving black metal and a swoop of energetic thrash that makes this deliciously head-churning.  

43:26-50:58
ELDERSEER (UK)
This Aesthetic Life
— A beautiful sultry death with meditative stillness and beautiful piano.  

51:21-END
AHAB (Germany)
Prof. Arronax’ descent into the vast oceans feat. Ultha
— Experimental doom, oppressive and introspective.
