This is one of my favourites. It's from 1997. I love a double bass and violin. #AusMusic #TheGadflys #AusMusicMonth

Srarting with an artist from Triple J unearthed, her name is Aleksiah and yeah, "The Hit" is pretty likely going to hit the top ten best songs of the year for me

Golgothan Remains - Bearer of Light, Matriarch of Death (2024)
A visceral 21 mins of blackened death metal, the 4 tracks flow as one. Where Hadal Maw attack with groove, this channels the spirit of black metal with relentless blasts/tremolo, spaced with atmospheric breaks.

Dyssidia - Costly Signals (2020)
A wild ride of extreme prog metal that keeps you guessing, esp the vocals! Shares members with other features in this thread, Freedom of Fear & Hadal Maw, so you know they’ve got chops. Even better, they have a new album out this Friday!

(finally caught up!)
Hadal Maw - Oblique Order (2021)
A brief but potent release of crushing dissodeath. It's more accessible than a band of this style ought to be, which I attribute in part to the groove that pervades each song.

Blood Sky - MMXXV (2025)
A recent release that I've only just heard the once, but really enjoyed. A boisterous, full throated prog/power album that I discovered through the mighty Mike Mills of Toehider, who contributed the (fantastic!) vocals.

Deciduous Forest - Fields of Yore (2025)
Another melodic/atmospheric black metal pick from this year. Fairly up-tempo, with plenty of keys in the mix.

Opus of a Machine - Stray Fire (2018)
More Aussie prog metal. This one is a little less 'straight ahead' than Hemina, having more of a post-rock flavour. There's quite a diversity amongst the tracks, but huge closer Beacon showcases some of the best of the band's toolkit.

Rise of Avernus - L'appel du Vide (2013)
The second death metal album in this thread with this title 😅 Both quite distinct styles though. I'd forgotten how much I love this album. An emotive form of melodic death/doom, with some symphonic and gothic aspects.

Hemina - Night Echoes (2019)
Excellent Australian prog metal, and this is probably my favourite albums of theirs. A concept album in a multi-album concept series, featuring huge vocal hooks & harmonies.

Aquilus - Griseus (2011)
Absolutely MASSIVE (in scope & production, but a bit in run time too!) orchestral black metal. As much a piece of classical music as it is a metal one, it takes a while to unpack, but is easy to lose yourself in.

Altars - Ascetic Reflection (2022)
Tried this before and didn’t get it, but I’ve started appreciating more dissodeath so I gave it another go and really enjoyed it. There’s variation in tempo and riffing to keep it engaging and it has a magnetic quality that draws me back

Toehider - I LIKE IT! (2020)
A favourite album from a favourite artist, this is as diverse as it is enjoyable. Speed metal, funk, prog rock epic, power metal, synthwave, prog metal and various blends feature across the songs, but a tongue-in-cheek thread runs through them.

Illyria - Wanderlust (2024)
A highlight from last year, Wanderlust showcases a compelling melting pot of progressive metal with aspects of post-black, metalcore and melodic death. Third track Pragma is particularly powerful

Skyborne Reveries - Skyborne Reveries (2025)
Another melodic/atmospheric black metal project. This one fits nicely into the ‘night time’ black metal mould for me, with some lovely synthy ambient sections and a melancholic sheen, particularly on the latter tracks.

Fierce Deity - Power Wisdom Courage (2021)
A fantastic slab of groovy melodic metal with tremendous vocals. The grand concept plays out with cohesion across the three powerful tracks and 32 mins and invites much singing along

Northlane - Node: Reloaded (2025)
A re-recording of their 2015 album released on Friday. I don’t enjoy much modern metalcore, but these guys have always hit the spot for me. I listened to this one a lot during a tricky time in my life so enjoyed hearing the band renew it.
