Picking up where I left off but that doesn't mean the quality of music is lesser. The first post I wanted to get a sampling of different genres and again this time I'll post some songs that made my "best of 2024" so far.
Sick Century - End Times (Ion Disguise Music)
They compare themselves to Disturbed, FFDP & Breaking Benjamin. 99% when bands make that comparison they fail to deliver. Sick Century are the 1% that live up to the hype.
Ivory Tower - 60 Seconds (Massacre)
I admittedly haven't really enjoyed Ivory Tower past music. I found it bland and cookie cutter Power Metal but something with them really clicked on the first two tracks they released as singles.
Etwas - Bloodmoon Invocation (Independent).
This one totally caught me off guard, starts out like a black metal song then the female vocals kick in. Really interesting song from a French band that labels themselves as Symphonic Occult Metal.
Bodyfarm - Retaliate (Edge Circle Productions)
I don't admittedly listen to a lot of death metal but sometimes something comes along that stands out from the crowd. Bodyfarm from the Netherlands fit that bill quite nicely. Technical, brutal and yet palatable.
I really want to like these guys, they've got an AC/DC meets Def Leppard vibe going on. I'm not sold on some of the other music I've heard but this is a good place to start.
