Reports from the Underground: 2020 Albums of the Year
2020, we hardly knew ye- just kidding, we knew you, a lot. But at least we got to know your albums. Here were our favourites!
Lost in Time: Begnagrad – Begnagrad
A highly technical but non-snobby and at moments even humorous avant-prog album from Yugoslavia laced with Balkan and alpine folk influences. Nonsense at its best!
Review: Forlesen – Hierophant Violent
A combination of beautiful and unsettling doom/drone goodness.

Review: Descend – The Deviant
Descend may be the band that us Opeth fans have been looking for all these years. This is an album that is truly remarkable. A faithful continuation of Opeth’s formula all while keeping updated with the meta of twenty years of progressive death metal.
