ghastly

Here they are: our aggregated and top picks for 2021. Be sure to listen to all of them.

With varied picks from black, death, and beyond, Writer Brandon Nurick’s best albums of 2021 is likely to have a record or two you haven’t heard yet.

We start off our 2021 year-end lists with Brandon Corsair, whose list packs in tons of powerful underground releases.

Ghastly’s third full-length “Mercurial Passages”, released earlier this year, is weirder and more inventive than ever. We spoke with multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Ian J D’Waters.

All the new metal releasing between May 23rd, 2021 and May 29th, 2021 — spin (or skip) new music from Portal, Burning Witches, Cirith Ungol, and more.
