I was asked to contribute some metal recommendations to the ongoing end of year best of blowout at the Factual Opinion. I thought I’d do a playlist to go along with my choices. So here’s some of my favorite metal from the last year/decade.
1. Rites of Thy Degringolade — Totality’s Reign (An Ode to Sin)
2. Harvey Milk — We Destroy the Family (Fear) (Life…The Best Game in Town)
3. Marduk — To Redirect Perdition (Wormwood)
4. Funeral Mist — Anti-Flesh Nimbus (Maranatha)
5. Gallhammer — Endless Nauseous Days (Gloomy Lights)
6. Drudkh — Decadence (Microcosmos)
7. Xasthur — Soul Abduction Ceremony (Microcosmos)
8. Khanate — In That Corner (Clean Hands Go Foul)
9. Pyha — Song of Oldman (The Haunted House)
10. Lugubrum — Kadurha (Albino De Congo)

If you want to buy extreme metal (or any kind of metal) you can’t do better than shopping at Aquarius Records, about the most amazing online store I’ve ever had the privilege to visit.
Just fyi, Aquarius is also a physical store. In the Mission in SF. I go there almost every time I go to
SF. It is great, be sure to visit the non-virtual store when you get a chance.

I know it’s a physical store! I’ve never been there, but I did interview the owner, which was great. I definitely plan to go there if I’m ever in San Francisco.
