Brandon Corsair, leader of the California death metal band Draghkar and studious metal journalist, reveals his top picks for the year, diving deep into the underground.

Seven of us teamed up to select our favorite releases from last month’s insane whirlwind of new albums — here, we include Ulcerate, Black Curse, and five more into our juicy halls of honor.

All the new metal releasing between April 19th and April 25th, 2020 — spin (or skip) new music from Ulcerate, Elder, Cirith Ungol, Barishi, and more.
