21 Best Metal Albums of the 21st Century... So Far


#13 - Daylight Dies - Dismantling Devotion

I'm a sucker for sadness, for longing, for loss and betrayal. I've always favored depression over happiness. It feels more real, more honest. And when these emotions are displayed in music i get highly critical. The music has to hit me in a sympathetic way, amplifying my own feelings, understanding me and sharing my burden. It's special when even a single part of a band or album does that for me. But, when every aspect of the music fills me with sadness it's immediately promoted to epic status. Dismantling Devotion is the example. This album tears into me and twists and it feels great.
