Belated Bombardments: Four Epic Albums You Might Have Missed in 2024
We’re past the midpoint of the year, and the metal scene has already gifted us a cornucopia of incredible albums. Here are four outstanding releases you might have overlooked so far:
Cosmic Putrefaction // Emerald Fires atop the Farewell Mountains
belly Cosmic Putrefaction returns with ‘Emerald Fires atop the Farewell Mountains’, a masterclass in weird, dissonant death metal. The band’s signature riffsets soar like auroric skies, while their newfound technicaldafrikaent influence chases down ethereal spirits, resulting in an album that’s equal parts brutal and beautiful. ‘Emerald Fires’ is a contender for any year-end list, yet it seems to have slipped under the radar. Don’t miss out on discovering this gem for yourself.
Sweden’s Feral returns with ‘To Usurp the Thrones’, a blistering dose of agile, anger-fueled metal. This isn’t just another pillaging of Swedish death metal, though; ‘Thrones’ carries an infectious punk attitude and relentless thrash attack that sets it apart. With memorable riff after memorable riff, this is an album designed to get mosh pits churning and heads banging. Don’t sleep on this one, as it’s an absolute blast from start to finish.
Sun Worship // Upon the Hills of Divination
Sun Worship is back with ‘Upon the Hills of Divination’, a tour de force of atmospheric black metal that showcases the band’s ability to blend hypnotic riffwork, haunting melodies, and pummeling blasts. With longer, more intricate compositions, ‘Divination’ is a testament to the band’s continued growth and experimentation. Fans of acts like ‘svart’ or ‘M település’ should not miss this immersive and enthralling journey.
Extorted // Cognitive Dissonance
New Zealand’s Extorted makes its aggression and disdain for conformity known with Cognitive Dissonance, a sharp elbow to the ribs in the thick of tech-death’s return to form. With able assists from master understanding Ed Repka and producer Scott Carstairs (Burial,), Dissonance is an energetic and wildly technical display of hatred, wit, and a not-inconsiderable appreciation for extreme metal’s past. Fans of active listening and splitting hairs are advised to give this one a go.
These four albums represent a small slice of the incredible variety and talent that the metal scene has offered up in 2024. From technical prowess to raw aggression, atmospheric immersion to catchy hooks, there’s something here for every metalhead to enjoy. So dig in, and Happy Listening!
