Angry Metal Guy’s Top 10(ish) of 2015

On December 30, 2015 By Angry Metal Guy

Twenty-fifteen has been a hell of a ride. It's been one of my favorite years for music in quite a long time, and I've been struggling to prune this list down to 10(ish) records that I really love. But in some ways, the top 5 has never been easier for me to choose. What I find most fascinating about this list is how completely out of step I feel with what I see as being touted as the coolest parts of the underground. I seem to be pretty far afield while everyone else seems to be fawning over the latest '70s retro doom phenomenon, hope drones, or the latest example of black metal kids missing that intensity not 15 minute songs was the cool part of black metal. This is what it feels like to have been left behind by a scene; to have lived long enough to be that old guy shaking his fist at new trends in metal.

Amorphis – Under the Red Cloud Review

On September 1, 2015 By Angry Metal Guy

"Under the Red Cloud marks the 12th studio album from Finland's grandfathers of extreme metal, the band's sixth LP with Tomi Joutsen as vocalist and his 10th year in the band. The string of Tomi's six records started with 2006's Eclipse and had an absolutely epic beginning. Eclipse, Silent Waters and Skyforger showed the band's new found drive and energy, reclaiming some of their death metal heritage, while veering further into what Nuclear Blast has fittingly labeled 'melancholy rock.' Unfortunately, Angry Metal Guy's Law of Diminishing Recordings™ is a fickle mistress, and The Beginning of Times and Circle were both records that were good, but lacked the urgency of that initial trilogy." Angry Metal Guy is back reviewing Amorphis, and do you kids know what that means? It means he's probably not doing his actual job! Now read the damned review!

Record(s) o’ the Month – March 2015

On April 27, 2015 By Angry Metal Guy

Ok, this is getting fucking ridiculous. It's actually kind of ironic that this has taken as long as it has taken to get me to the place where I'm putting up the Record(s) o' the Month for March at the very end of April, because March 2015 is probably the best month for music that I can think of in ages. The quality of records released in March of 2015 could practically produce half of my Top 10(ish) of 2015, and that's not even a joke. Going even further, this is one of the most difficult choices that I have had to make for Record(s) o' the Month, because the best albums of the month are really close. And while indecision is not the reason this took so long—you can blame my job which is too much for a single person—it certainly played a minor role. But without further ado, I present to you the Record o' the Month for March, 2015.
