Lung were soooooo good when they played in Kent back in September. I hope they make it back up this way in 2026.

Oar On, Penelope by The Minus 5 is another awesome record - the Kurt Bloch guitar parts really stood out to me and the songs sounded really good live. Death the Bludgeoner and Bison Queen are must listen tracks for me.

Don't remember how I came across Iran Iran, but their EP from this year was really good. The title track is great, as is Shinzo Abe Lego Gun.

I'm still in a sludgy mood, so was listening to The Loss by Mares of Thrace today. The Second Stage: Denial is a good song to start with if you haven't heard them before.

Not exactly sure what heavy subgenre this fits into (noise sludge post-metal?) but Membrane's latest, Deathly Silence, has been in my ears for most of 2025. Hard to pick a favorite on this one, Too Late really grabbed my attention when listening today.

We got new Noura Mint Seymali music in November - it is excellent. Feel like this is better to listen to in album form, if you have time for only one song try Jraad. noura-mint-seymali.bandcamp.com/album/yenbett

It is a great record. I really liked their last album, ETC as well.

God Alone.'s new album The Beep Test is next up on my year in music. They are known for danceable noise rock... if you want something dance-y try Pink Himalayan, if you feel like moshing try Tony Gawk. Really love this one.

For my fellow Saturnian Ritualistic music enjoyers, Codex Serafini's album Mother, Give Your Children Sanity is awesome. Give "Marching Like a Toad" a try.

Really enjoyed the debut Drink the Sea double album - can't wait to see them in Philly in February.

Elli de Mon is an artist I only learned about this year. Her 2025 album Raise is kind of all over the place... rootsy Italian tinged blues rock with South Asian characteristics. Suman and Babastril are great, if you only have a moment Oseleto is gorgeous.

I saw Lung (US version) play twice in September in support of their album, The Swankeeper. The outdoor show in Kent was one of those perfect vibes nights. Favorite songs on this one are Clown Car and The Swimmer.

somehow messed up the thread... anyway, Tlooth released their first full length earlier this year. Song No. 1, while not the first song on the album, is really good.

My most listened to streaming artist in 2025 was Maasaki Suzuki. The JS Bach Organ Works album linked here is great thinking while wandering music.

Every so often I'll buy the download version of an album, then fall in love with it and buy a physical copy to display on the shelf. Beauty in the Noise by Persica 3 was one of those albums for me this year - the song "Hold On" will brighten your day.

Dax Riggs released new music this year, thus I am posting it. He has said in interviews that he is going to take these songs on the road and I can't wait. Deceiver is a good place to start for the uninitiated.

mclusky is going to show up in my thread at some point. I had not heard AMEE before... the acoustic album from a few years back is really stunning.

Today's choice is Next to, Above, Inside by Salisbury. Punk/noise/sludge from Florida, kinda wish I had the tape so I knew what the songs were called. It is always fun when you click a random Reddit link and hear something cool.

Next up - Waiting Room by Kathryn Mohr. I made it to see her play an in store show in Pittsburgh with Oldest Sea. The beginning of Petrified has been playing in my head since the record came out.
