Best of 2019

6) Necropanther - The Doomed City



What is this beast? It sounds equal parts traditional heavy metal and grind-core but not enough of either to have a clear definition. Whatever it is I’m smitten. Doomed City is a concept record about a society declining into the post-apocalyptic and with all the nature documentaries I’ve been watching telling me the world is going to end any day now it feels like an accurate manifestation of the spirit of the times. Steven Pinker would have you believe everything’s fine and dandy, but try telling that to the koalas or Necropanther.
