Ah, the sweet aroma of mid-year lists are upon us again. It’s been a solid first half to 2021, and as usual, the guys have been busy keeping note of the albums that raised the bar over the last 6 months. Not an easy task, but hey, that’s why we get paid the big bucks. From the crafty veterans to the up-and-comers, from death metal to ambient, as always, our lists are varied throughout and we hope you enjoy our full length video discussing each of our lists in full.
