Deftones – Diamond Eyes, 2010
After recording and trashing the Eros album, Chino Moreno and friends started again and created Diamond Eyes. The record turned out to be one of the best of the band’s career, a landmark work that gained unheard of popularity. The easiest and most melodic, pop-pop-like hit and dreamy album of the band. Diamond Eyes combines both heavy riffs and airiness, laying down on the listener in waves.
Gojira – L’Enfant Sauvage, 2012
Tough, powerful and frantic, like a mustang. The work strengthened the French progressive death metal players in the genre without making any large-scale experiments. L’Enfant Sauvage was conceived and written as a genre-realized record, full of moderately complex hits.
Ghost – Infestissumam, 2013
The infernal followers of Black Sabbath’s ideas delivered their most scandalous album yet in 2013. The litigation over the name of the band, the banning of the music video, the censorship of the original album cover (with an orgy by an unknown artist). And also the controversy surrounding the figure of the frontman of the band and the main character of the album – the infernal Pope Emeritus II. The old-school, frightening atmosphere is added with synth keyboards, symphonics, weird macabre humor and infernal riffs.
Mastodon – Emperor Of Sand, 2017
A more subtle, lighter, and more concise album from an unusual collective. Mastodon mixes an incredible number of directions in their sound, from sludge and death, to prog and southern rock. The record’s metaphorical, deep storytelling perfectly complements the matured sound, considerably lightened, but also noticeably deepened and complicated.
Judas Priest – Firepower, 2018
The 2018 veterans of the genre released the album Firepower. A sort of compilation of everything the band has accomplished in their decades of existence. A strong release, perfect for showcasing what real old-school heavy metal from misty Albion is all about.
Deafheaven – Sunbather, 2013
A mind blowing mix of black metal, post metal, shoegaze with elements of thrash and grunge. That’s exactly how you could describe Deafheaven’s oeuvre. On the album Sunbather the sound of the band finally formed into the wild post-black metal. The band sounds the way no one else does. Unusual pitch, dense atmosphere, strange rhythms and deep lyrics.
Carcass – Surgical Steel, 2013
The first album since the band broke up in 1995. The record tears up from the get-go and doesn’t let go until the finale. The two chiseled halves plunge the listener first into monolithic heavy metal and then into dense melody. The album develops the ideas of the old works, but at the same time does not borrow anything from the past works. The fathers of melodic death metal have created one of the most powerful records in the history of the genre and have shown that abandoning old ideas is a good thing.
Behemoth – The Satanist, 2014
An ultra-dense, clunky and overstuffed album that sold well and appealed to a wide audience. All it took was a little blood of Nergal, the band’s lead singer, in the paint when designing the cover of the record. The release as a whole is peculiar and wild.
