| 6 | MILKK | "IDWK" | single | The world could be wiped clean, and with even just one drum-loop we could start again. |
| 7 | Satyricon | "To Your Brethren In The Dark" | single | Some noises reach into ourselves towards where we yearn for this chance: |
| 8 | Myrkur | "Elleskudt" | Mareridt (Deluxe Version) | Nihilism as a situational strategy for viridian reorganization, |
| 9 | Samael | "Black Supremacy" | single | a way to disintegrate current power structures, |
| 10 | Kadaverdisciplin | "Death Supremacy" | Death Supremacy | fearlessly |
| 11 | Xanthochroid | "The Sound Which Has No Name" | Of Erthe and Axen: Act I | and recklessly, |
| 12 | BANNERS | "Firefly" | single | in the theory that beginning again with what we know now |
| 13 | Amberian Dawn | "Maybe" | single | will be a shorter path to joy. |
| 14 | Ensiferum | "King of Storms" | single | This is a massive vote of no-confidence in our history and its inertia, |
| 15 | Arion | "No One Stands in My Way" | single | but a magnificent gesture of faith in our potential |
| 16 | Neverland | "Destiny" | Before the Winner | and our future. |
| 17 | Kee of Hearts | "Stranded" | Kee of Hearts | And isn't this ultimately the question we ask ourselves about this life: |
| 18 | Evanescence | "Imperfection" | single | Is progress a thing? |
| 19 | The Story So Far | "Out of It" | single | Do we learn from mistakes? |
| 20 | Daisyhead | "Cute Little Finger" | Purple & Blue 2 | It's never as simple as identifying errors and then not making them any more, |
| 21 | Stand Atlantic | "Sidewinder" | Sidewinder 5 | but do make them in incrementally less damaging ways? |
| 22 | Now, Now | "Yours" | single | Are the new mistakes less profound, |
| 23 | Plastic Flowers | "How Can I" | single | or less frequent? |
| 24 | PONY | "Small Things" | single | Or can we recognize or recover from them faster? |
| 25 | Bloodywood | "Look What You Made Me Do" | single | When our nominal heroes write lifeless, joyless new songs, |
| 26 | The Animal In Me | "Look What You Made Me Do" | single | can we fight them with purpose, |
| 27 | Veil Of Maya | "Overthrow" | single | so that their frailty and betrayal becomes part of the story of justice and strength, |
| 28 | Moonspell | "Todos Os Santos" | single | as of course it always must? |
| 29 | The Unguided | "Legendary" | single | Never bring a sulk to a catharsis fight. |
| 30 | Hanging Garden | "Elysium" | single | To contemplate death is to |
| 31 | Skyfire | "Liberation In Death" | Liberation In Death +3 | look beyond yourself, |
| 32 | Even Vast | "After All" | Dawning Gloom | and recognize the elements of you that already exist in everybody else: |
| 33 | Ben Frost | "Ionia" | single | oblique torments, |
| 34 | Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith | "To Feel Your Best" | single | amorphous attachments, |
| 35 | Bvdub | "Limitless" | Heartless | elusive infinities, |
| 36 | Machinedrum | "1 2 B Needed" | single | resolving into concurrent structures, |
| 37 | Gabriel Saloman | "What Belongs To Love" | Movement Building Vol.3 | and their attendant theories of architecture. |
| 38 | Miracle Of Sound | "No One" | single | Simulated apocalypses can be critiques of our planning, |
| 39 | Erik Ekholm | "Soul Reaper" | single | but are more often just mordant celebrations of scale, |
| 40 | Tsuko G. | "Rewrite" | single | and tentative methods of taunting every lesser storm. |
| 41 | NateWantsToBattle | "Heroes (From "My Hero Academia")" | single | I will mourn with people I have never met, but also sing the theme songs of shows I will never watch. |
| 42 | Alpine Universe | "The Hunter" | single | The anthemic urge is part of what defines us, |
| 43 | Curtis Schweitzer | "Tachocline" | The Frequency of Dreams | even if it contains our inherent weakness for loving the shape of evil, |
| 44 | Tony Anderson | "Butterflies" | single | for confusing morality with grace, |
| 45 | Frightened Rabbit | "Roadless" | Recorded Songs 3 | for thinking that anywhere we have personally ended up is accessible to all. |
| 46 | MUCC | "Bouzenjishitsu" | Koroshi No ShirabeⅡ This is NOT Greatest Hits | But your familiar roads are other people's labyrinths of frantic despair. |
| 47 | THE NOVEMBERS | "dysphoria - Before Today ver." | single | Your labor builds somebody else's dystopia. |

| 50 | Ninos Du Brasil | "O Vento Chama Seu Nome" | Vida Eterna | It is not necessary to change the food, |
| 51 | Dear Jane | "也許我不會活多一歲" | single | just remember that people who don't know what you know, |
| 52 | Sandee Chan | "他是末日預言中的宇宙碎片" | single | but who operate on the same imperatives, |
| 53 | Ken Hung | "衝破 (香港青年協會「Project STEP-青少年情緒健康計劃」主題曲)" | single | still need to eat when they come. |
| 54 | Malú | "Invisible" | single | They are here already, of course. |
| 55 | Pastora Soler | "La tormenta" | La calma | A part of each of us is lost wherever we are, |
| 56 | 047 | "uBuhle" | single | and found upon arrival in any elsewhere, |
| 57 | Legend | "Frostbite" | single | desperately deprived of whatever it is they only have there. |
| 58 | The Contortionist | "Monochrome (Passive)" | Clairvoyant | We mutter to ourselves, |
| 59 | Caligula's Horse | "Dream the Dead" | In Contact | rehearsing arguments for things we probably don't really need, |
| 60 | Archspire | "Calamus Will Animate" | single | and practicing our hammer-swing, |
| 61 | Dyscarnate | "To End All Flesh Before Me" | With All Their Might | and our ability to recognize the first signs of decay, |
| 62 | Gigan | "Hyperjump-Ritual Madness" | Undulating Waves Of Rainbiotic Iridescence | and thus disguise it in ourselves. |

| 67 | Donkeyboy | "Kaleidoscope" | single | and then close behind gleaming locks. |
| 68 | Lucy Swann | "Foreign Bodies" | single | Learning to walk is the essence of dancing, |
| 69 | Makthaverskan | "Eden" | single | like learning to cry is the essence of love. |
| 70 | Gary Numan | "Ghost Nation" | Savage (Songs from a Broken World) | Hope comes packaged with regret, |
| 71 | Caroline Kole | "Tidal Wave" | single | in a box that can be a puppet theater, |
| 72 | Carly Pearce | "Color" | single | and a living-room ark for cats, |
| 73 | Haloo Helsinki! | "Tuntematon" | single | and a teleporter to imaginary realms where you have been foretold, |
| 74 | Tuoni | "Tulipyörä" | single | dreaded, |
| 75 | Jimi Pääkallo | "Rakkauden Nimeen" | Elämä Suomessa | debated learnedly in your absence. |
| 76 | Kettcar | "Wagenburg" | single | The base discipline of curiosity is realizing that your unaccustomed presence is part of other people's arguments with each other |
| 77 | Serum 114 | "Ich Lebe (feat. Myriam von M)" | single | about what they merely love |
| 78 | Emil Bulls | "Kill Your Demons" | single | and what they require. |
| 79 | Arcane Roots | "Indigo" | single | Find a window over a city street, and watch people walk past for six and a half minutes. |

| 83 | This Patch of Sky | "Coordinates (44°06'12"N 121°46'09"W)" | single | or have you designed ineffective sanctions against helpless strangers without ever learning how to say their names? |
| 84 | Alex Lahey | "I Haven't Been Taking Care of Myself" | single | Will you pull the shade, |
| 85 | Tired Lion | "Where Were You?" | Dumb Days | or go outside? |
| 86 | Otherwise | "Won't Stop" | single | And outside, on the sidewalk, will you stop there? |
| 87 | Awaken I Am | "Wolves" | single | Someone made this sidewalk for you, |
| 88 | Circa Survive | "Premonition of the Hex" | single | without a plan. |
| 89 | Main-De-Gloire | "Tonight" | single | This is how you hold out a hand to people, |
| 90 | Sweater Beats | "Symphony" | single | knowing nothing about how they dance: |
| 91 | Slow Magic | "Drum" | single | it's going to be somewhere between slow and fast, |
| 92 | AUTOBAHN | "Future" | single | and you'll know it when they move. |
| 93 | Visionist | "No Idols" | single | It's the same way you find common ground with yourself, |

| 101 | ESPRIT 空想 | "It's a Fast Driving Rave up with ESPRIT" | single | It's not like you can reasonably expect other people to just hold still forever |
| 102 | Rivermaya | "Sabay Tayo" | Sa Kabila Ng Lahat | just because you hadn't planned past selling them sanctuary, |
| 103 | Bengalfuel | "Black Hole" | single | past what will motivate them after this storm is over. |
| 104 | Rone | "Brest" | single | But if Michael Nyman could have a post-rock band, |
| 105 | Kaleida | "Convolution" | Tear The Roots | and statuary can access their feelings, |

| 111 | David Garrett | "Born In The USA" | Rock Revolution | Maybe we can see how our impulses are both grand and ridiculous, |
| 112 | Gwar | "El Presidente" | single | cartoonish and precise, |
| 113 | Max Richter | "Openings" | Taboo | false conclusions that leave us ready to think about what previously-unthinkable thing we can prove next. |
