TDH is a band that, on first listen, I wrote off and is pretty far from my usual wheelhouse but you really benefit from just starting with Act I and playing straight through until V. It's very 'musical theater' in some ways with recurring themes and callback leitmotif but I think that's what I like.

It's kind of a popular pick but my AOTY last year was probably the Blood Incantation. It's fascinating. It has moments of traditional Florida death, proggy metal bits, and then these random chill-out spots. Imagine taking an old school 6 cd changer and loading it with a mix of Morbid Angel, Cynic, and Animals from Floyd and then just randomly hitting shuffle.

This year was the year of the Irish for me.

I think my AOTY was Kneecap's Fine Art, Fontaines D.C.'s Romance comes a close second. Both build off of their earlier works but break some new ground.
