| 1 | Blanck Mass | "Love Is a Parasite" | single | We have had all these elements, |
| 2 | W O L F C L U B | "Symmetry" | Frontiers | catalogued and assigned to taxonomic rank, |
| 3 | Ra Ra Riot | "Belladonna" | single | and then put in a box and the box on a shelf: |
| 4 | Street Sects | "Boxcars" | Gentrification III: Death and Displacement 2 | unverified regrets, |
| 5 | Sowulo | "Wulfwiga" | Mann | ancestral and inertial, |
| 6 | Osi And The Jupiter | "Grå Hest" | Grå Hest +1 | and medallions interleaved with paper. |
| 7 | Russian Circles | "Arluck" | Blood Year | Those were the things we tried, |
| 8 | Sublime Eyes | "Med Tiden Gror" | single | and yet all of this still happened. |
| 9 | Hive | "Fear of a Female Planet" | Most Vicious Animal | We mistake scars for lessons |
| 10 | PassCode | "PROJECTION - PassCode Zepp Tour 2019 at Zepp Osaka Bayside" | PassCode Zepp Tour 2019 at Zepp Osaka Bayside | and the weight of knowledge for the pressure of crowns. |
| 11 | The Mirraz | "HELIACAL" | single | We cannot prove the next step will move us, |
| 12 | Osakasyunkasyuto | "MY STYLE" | ガチ上がるハイテンションまで夢じゃないこの現実 6 | and that doesn't keep us from buying shoes, |
| 13 | KRD8 | "Daybreak" | Daybreak / dance in the dark | but it also doesn't keep the shoes from asking us the same questions we ask ourselves: |
| 14 | SHINGEKI | "Natsugoesemishigure" | single | wherever you go, either you're coming back |
| 15 | AZKi | "ERROR" | single | or you're running away, |
| 16 | AmaLee | "Gurenge (From "Demon Slayer")" | single | so aren't velocity and endurance just varieties of the same denial? |
| 17 | Visions of Atlantis | "A Journey to Remember" | single | Is this restless quest for provocation |
| 18 | Ardours | "The Mist" | single | ultimately more than procrastinating the hard chapters by always starting over? |
| 19 | Tides from nebula | "The New Delta" | single | Most of our post-waves are elaborate retreats from difficult incompletion, |
| 20 | Cantus Levitas | "Stille Nebel" | Auf Grund | or bibliographies of inconclusive heroism. |
| 21 | Finsterforst | "Weltenbrand" | Zerfall | Odin was good with birds, |
| 22 | Hammerfall | "Dominion" | single | but his governing coalitions were prone to dissolution and disfunctional petulance. |
| 23 | Crystal Ball | "Suspended" | 2020 | Mainly, I think, we like imagining ourselves looking down from a commanding height, |
| 24 | Narnia | "Has the River Run Dry?" | From Darkness to Light | moral or metaphorical, |
| 25 | Civil War | "Dead Man's Glory" | single | notionally serviced by valkyries |
| 26 | DragonForce | "Highway to Oblivion" | single | but after one too many labor dispute they finally built a funicular, |
| 27 | Humanity's Last Breath | "Pulsating Black" | Abyssal | so that our ascensions and falls may be rendered regenerative. |
| 28 | Massemord | "Deception" | Devil | We have stood upon the shoulders of giants |
| 29 | Cloud Rat | "Webspinner" | single | as they lay sleeping, |
| 30 | Sammath | "Bitter fighting amongst the dead" | single | and now we lie here awake, |
| 31 | 1349 | "Enter Cold Void Dreaming" | single | realizing our own turn under giant soles is probably next. |
| 32 | DEVILOOF | "GOUZINZANGOKU" | ONI | Science gives us ways to measure our imaginary immunities, |
| 33 | MUCC | "AMERIA Ameria DEMO" | AMERIA 2 | and graph paper, |
| 34 | All Good Soldiers | "Always Alright" | single | but it's impossible to know both where you are |
| 35 | Qyoto | "Kimini Tsutaeta Story" | Kimini Tsutaeta Story 5 | and why it's like this. |
| 36 | Sai | "Riding the flying roller coaster" | Riding the flying roller coaster +3 | We have buses, but we're never sure they'll come, |
| 37 | Comandante Twin | "Bolonia" | single | and the smell of this uncertainty is how you tell the neighborhoods you pass through |
| 38 | El Capitán Elefante | "Nubes" | single | from the ones where the motionlessly content abide. |
| 39 | New Model Army | "End of Days" | single | Conviction doesn't make you safe, |
| 40 | Fleur De Lys | "Dawnsia" | single | but most of the time you only want to feel safer than the people you don't have to see. |
| 41 | The Gospel Youth | "Talk" | Thoughtless 6 | The best defense against a racist with a racist god, you always said, |
| 42 | Young Guv | "Luv Always" | GUV I | was a patriot with a god flag. |
| 43 | Rapalje | "Standfast (The Mason's Apron)" | single | We can dance a little while you think about how well that has worked. |
| 44 | Erik Ekholm | "Chaos Lords" | Overworld | It's always possible to stipulate that justice will accumulate the best gods, |
| 45 | Karine Polwart | "The Whole of the Moon" | Karine Polwart's Scottish Songbook | or that we need them for hunting, or to defend ourselves against tyrannical government. |
| 46 | Bridge Worship | "Already Done" | Less / More | I note that tyranny never seems to be short on belief |
| 47 | 10,000 Fathers | "Won My War" | single | or altars, or blood for them. |
| 48 | TVXQ! | "Hot Hot Hot" | Hot Hot Hot / ミラーズ 4 | Do you want to look down on soldiers in formation, or souls bouncing in glee? |
| 49 | Trash | "重感情的廢物" | single | Hand across your crown and your armor, and take a number for them, |
| 50 | Supper Moment | "靈感床 (國語版)" | 無盡 | and then throw the number into a river in a city that only exists in your heart. |
| 51 | Esoterik | "Hamingja" | single | A fortress is a ruin for which we don't yet know how to write the plaques |
| 52 | 7xvn | "001" | single | explaining whether more people suffered on the outside of the walls or the inside, |
| 53 | Il Tre | "Soldiers" | Real Talk 3 | or out in the lands surveyed, |
| 54 | A Tribe Called Red | "Ba Na Na" | single | although any of these ways, most of the explanation will be the same. |
| 55 | Juliana Hatfield | "De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da" | single | We built a city out of hope, not because it can hold all of us in peace at once, |
| 56 | Karine Polwart | "Swim Until You Can’t See Land" | Karine Polwart's Scottish Songbook | but so that, when you tire of leaving and you look back, it's tall enough to show you which way home. |
