| 2021-12-10 | 1 | My Own Ghost | "Your Turn" | single | Two years and counting to defeat an invisible menace; three minutes to recapitulate transformational wonder. |
| 2021-12-10 | 2 | The Murder of My Sweet | "Father's Eyes" | A Gentleman's Legacy | We have all of our ancestors' gifts for music but still too much of their miserable inadequacy in medicine and general control of our own mundane fates. |
| 2021-12-10 | 3 | Rage Of Light | "Aspiration" | Redemption | We wonder, unreflectively, how an ant can go about its industrious days not paralyzed by awareness of their fewness. |

| 2021-12-10 | 10 | Frantic Amber | "Angel Maker" | single | which is of course exactly how we usually portray them, |
| 2021-12-10 | 11 | Fear Of Domination | "Exitus" | VI Revelation | because conclusive epics of irrational power are easier to stage |
| 2021-12-10 | 12 | Balance Breach | "Overthrown" | Overthrown +1 | than endless cycles of irresolvable curiosity and serene dismay. |
| 2021-12-10 | 13 | Sebastien | "Lví stopou" | single | This is why, too, we keep inventing more ways to treat art as reductive competition than ways to rethink competition as shared art, |
| 2021-12-10 | 14 | Atlas | "Taivaanranta" | UKKO | and in turn how we keep thinking that the people just beyond our immediate gaze |
| 2021-12-10 | 15 | Kaamos Warriors | "Vapaus" | single | are engaged in irrelevant rituals, |
| 2021-12-10 | 16 | Lucifer's Child | "Satan's Wrath" | single | and thus the proper subjects of the laws we write |

| 2021-12-10 | 23 | Ethereal Shroud | "Chasmal Fires" | Trisagion | Two thousand years and counting to accept definitional moral responsibility for our existence; 28 minutes to suggest the divine scope of our own power. |

| 2021-12-10 | 25 | Breath Of Wind | "Coast I" | Coast | Now we think the winter is going to be horrible. |
| 2021-12-10 | 26 | Berserkyd | "Fighting for Yourself" | single | Both of these are stories of how immune we think we are |

| 2021-12-10 | 28 | Symphony Of Sweden | "Will She Fight" | single | and how intent on believing that arbitrarily interrupted arcs |
| 2021-12-10 | 29 | Degreed | "Into the Fire" | single | constitute radience. |
| 2021-12-10 | 87 | Edge Of Paradise | "Love Reign O'er Me" | single | But we also can't stop yearning. |

| 2021-12-03 | 34 | The Gathering | "Stronger - Radio Edit" | single | That's what rooms are, even when they are new: |
| 2021-12-03 | 35 | Within Temptation | "Forsaken - The Aftermath" | single | summaries of obsolete finities |
| 2021-12-03 | 36 | Coronatus | "To The Gods Of Wind & Sun" | Atmosphere | prepared for ceremonies of dispensation, |
| 2021-12-03 | 37 | Orkhys | "Annwvyn" | A Way | effigies of conclusiveness |
| 2021-12-03 | 52 | Asunojokei | "Chimera" | single | If only we had an extra head, we think, |
| 2021-12-03 | 53 | Boris | "Drowning by Numbers" | single | or two. |
| 2021-12-03 | 54 | WagakkiBand | "名作ジャーニー" | single | As if heads aren't mostly the problem, to begin with. |
| 2021-12-03 | 55 | Manimal | "Slaves of Babylon" | Armageddon | Brains the shape of planets, and we use them to try to figure out how to get other people |
| 2021-12-03 | 56 | Dynazty | "Power of Will" | single | to make the things we shouldn't want, |
| 2021-12-03 | 57 | Serious Black | "Senso Della Vita" | Senso Della Vita +2 | but don't want to admit we don't know how to build. |
| 2021-12-03 | 58 | Volbeat | "Temple Of Ekur" | Servant Of The Mind | The gods we invoke, tolerating this brief distraction from their own hobbies, |
| 2021-12-03 | 59 | Beriedir | "Stormbound" | single | say "We gave you chaos, |

| 2021-12-03 | 62 | Ereb Altor | "I Have the Sky" | single | All you had to do was pour the chaos into the shapes of yourselves |
| 2021-12-03 | 63 | Svartsot | "Liden Kirsten" | single | and not let it immediately drain or fountain out again. |
| 2021-12-03 | 64 | Amorphis | "The Moon" | single | All you had to do was notice that the most darkness we ever gave you was a context for radiance. |
| 2021-12-03 | 65 | Cepheide | "Les Larmes" | Les Echappées | All you had to do was fall in love with each other, |
| 2021-12-03 | 66 | Worship | "Mercy" | Mercy +2 | and we made you more beautiful than terrifying to make that easy. |
| 2021-12-03 | 67 | Aquilus | "Eternal Unrest" | Bellum I | And yet, somehow, you devised artificial scarcities for the definitionally omnipresent, |
| 2021-12-03 | 68 | So Hideous | "Motorik Visage" | None But a Pure Heart Can Sing | and a taxonomy of irrefutably humane movements you make to assert their impossibility. |
| 2021-12-03 | 69 | Cosmophobe | "Alien Atmosphere" | Transcendence | We gave you math, |
| 2021-12-03 | 70 | The Algorithm | "Cryptographic Memory" | Cryptographic Memory 5 | and you use it to put ruthlessly ascending page-numbers |
| 2021-11-26 | 1 | Orkhys | "Home" | single | I went to look up Orkhys, because I didn't recognize the name. They are French. As I write this, they have 113 monthly listeners on Spotify, and the #4 playlist from which people have discovered them is this one, before I have even published it. |
| 2021-11-26 | 2 | Solarus | "A Dance With Tragedy" | single | If I had the power to generate beautiful power-metal bands by my own solipsistic will, |
| 2021-11-26 | 3 | Battle Beast | "Eye of the Storm" | Eye of the Storm +1 | presumably I would also have the ability to keep the New England Revolution from losing their first-round playoff game after the best regular season in MLS history. |
| 2021-11-26 | 4 | We Are the Catalyst | "I Will Follow" | Perseverance | Or maybe not. In music, our solipsisms do not have to compete. |
| 2021-11-26 | 6 | Secret Rule | "Welcome to Hell" | single | but I've felt more elated after, and in the middle of, thousands of songs |
| 2021-11-26 | 7 | False Memories | "Our Truth" | single | than I have after any sports outcome. |
| 2021-11-26 | 8 | Fallcie | "Hollow" | single | This is either a reason to quit following soccer for mental health, |
| 2021-11-26 | 9 | Reliqa | "The Bearer of Bad News" | single | or a reason to keep following it for emotional strength, |
| 2021-11-26 | 10 | Depressed Mode | "Endless November" | single | but I am suspicious of circular justifications for pain, |
| 2021-11-26 | 11 | Tarja | "Closer to the Sky" | single | of symbolic sacrifice used to sell you more emotional investment in things you can't control. |
| 2021-11-26 | 12 | NEO JAPONISM | "BLACK and WHITE" | single | The next soccer season doesn't begin until February. |
| 2021-11-26 | 13 | Fiore | "Sing it" | single | The next song begins right now. |
| 2021-11-26 | 14 | GRAND FINALE | "Everything Has An End" | Everything Has An End 5 | Maybe we don't actually need pretend gladiators telling us that joy must be redistributed from the many to the few through a process of elimination, |
| 2021-11-26 | 43 | The Florist | "Enemy" | IN CVLT | You sync it to your message, and we learn to play it slower, |
| 2021-11-26 | 44 | Esprit D'Air | "出逢い - オーケストラ・ミックス" | single | until you are suspended helplessly among your groundless words. |
| 2021-11-26 | 45 | DRASTIC BOYS | "Intro" | Kyoumei 3 | You call it a soundtrack, and we turn away from the screen. |
| 2021-11-26 | 47 | Tony Iommi | "Scent of Dark" | single | and we cheer and then live the rest of it. |
| 2021-11-26 | 48 | Rhapsody Of Fire | "The Kingdom of Ice" | Glory for Salvation | In any single given game, Gibraltar might beat Belgium, |
| 2021-11-26 | 49 | Neverland | "Megkapod" | A holnap markában | but afterwards it will still be a disputed rock at the edge of an ocean, |
| 2021-11-26 | 50 | Corvus Corax | "Sverker - Era Metallum - Single Edit" | single | with its own legends. |
| 2021-11-26 | 51 | Faun | "Galdra" | single | So are we all. |
| 2021-11-26 | 52 | Tdw | "Fountains" | Fountains | This was the #5 playlist from which listeners discovered Tdw before I published it. It's really TDW, a Dutch progressive-rock project by a guy named Tom de Wit, |
| 2021-11-26 | 53 | Cynic | "The Winged Ones" | Ascension Codes | who I'm only 40% sure isn't also a Belgian gum-implant specialist. |
| 2021-11-26 | 54 | World Without | "Walls" | single | All legends are stories of specificity triumphing over, or within, generality. |
| 2021-11-26 | 55 | Hypocrisy | "Worship" | Worship | Corporatism distorts this by portraying corporations as individuals, |
| 2021-11-26 | 56 | Abiotic | "Mutation" | single | and thus distorts collective action by misrepresenting it as soulless, |
| 2021-11-26 | 57 | In Mourning | "Sovereign" | The Bleeding Veil | and thus condones corporate soullessness by making it seem inevitable. |
| 2021-11-26 | 58 | Dwell in Doom | "Eternal Storm" | Eternal Storm +3 | But the communities in which we gather are only us. |
| 2021-11-26 | 59 | Anomalie | "Trance IV: Nemesis" | Tranceformation | The enemies we imagine are only us. |

| 2021-11-26 | 94 | Lauren Babic | "Easy On Me" | single | We give away hope until we run out of it, and then we take a breath and make more. |
| 2021-11-19 | 1 | Temperance | "Diamanti" | Diamanti | The best rock band in the world, at the moment, is a melodic power-metal quintet from Milan, Italy. |

| 2021-11-19 | 8 | Dust in Mind | "Speak For the Voiceless" | Ctrl | by our own yearning, |
| 2021-11-19 | 9 | MIST | "SHADOW GAME" | single | and then flung into the first available maelstrom |
| 2021-11-19 | 10 | Converge | "Lord of Liars" | Bloodmoon: I | or the next. |
| 2021-11-19 | 11 | Temperance | "The Night Before the End" | Diamanti | Master one second of the day and you establish recurring joy. |

| 2021-11-19 | 30 | Nergard | "Blood Red Skies" | Blood Red Skies +1 | and its margin of error is how moral systems become calculus instead of algebra. |
| 2021-11-19 | 31 | GIANT | "Let Our Love Win" | single | You might imagine that all the chords have been played in all the relevant orders by now, |
| 2021-11-19 | 32 | Crashdïet | "No Man's Land" | single | leaving innovation to heresy, |
| 2021-11-19 | 33 | The Ferrymen | "One Word" | single | and this is as wrong as any scriptural conviction |
| 2021-11-19 | 34 | Fugatta | "The Dark Land We Belong" | The Darkest Planet | about what must be true |
| 2021-11-19 | 35 | Arjen Anthony Lucassen's Star One | "Fate of Man" | single | written in the belief that we can arrive at a silent point in the universe |

| 2021-11-19 | 38 | Cosmophobe | "Distant Discovery" | single | All moral and aesthetic reasoning depends on this reality, |
| 2021-11-19 | 39 | Persefone | "Merkabah" | single | either directly, in grotesque appeals to beauty, |
| 2021-11-19 | 40 | Obscura | "Forsaken" | A Valediction | or implicitly, by constructing elaborately failed attempts |
| 2021-11-19 | 41 | Nightrage | "Nauseating Oblivion" | single | to infer its negation. |
| 2021-11-19 | 44 | Celeste | "Des torrents de coups" | single | but also the one that tastes the most like figs and aplomb. |

| 2021-11-19 | 48 | Dakhma | "The Rite of Dominion (Shehrevar)" | Blessings of Amurdad | are plaintively admitting to you that they don't know |
| 2021-11-19 | 49 | Ars Magna Umbrae | "Metempsychosis (Transmigration of the Soul)" | Throne Between Worlds | whether to guard or desert their own. |
| 2021-11-19 | 50 | Frostnatt | "Om Vinteren" | Vinterens Kaldeste Natt | Those cities are waystations, |
| 2021-11-19 | 51 | Thy Worshiper | "Straszno Tu" | Bajki o Staruchu | occupying interstitial spaces between assembly and disintegration. |
| 2021-11-19 | 52 | HÖST | "Concrete of Mankind" | 1994 5 | Of course most of what we build is exactly like this, |
| 2021-11-19 | 53 | Proscriptor McGovern’s Apsû | "Prana Therion Akasha" | single | hope cantilevered artfully over inevitability. |
| 2021-11-19 | 54 | Violet Cold | "Sahasrara Destruction" | single | This is why new cities always smell initially unconvincing, |
| 2021-11-19 | 88 | Converge | "Daimon" | Bloodmoon: I | populated by demons, |
| 2021-11-19 | 89 | Temperance | "Follow Me" | Diamanti | and they had this same conversation in the middle of a illusory demonic night, |
| 2021-11-19 | 91 | Rioghan | "Chandelier" | Covers II 3 | It matters whether they actually were, but not to us, here at the edge of their city. |
| 2021-11-19 | 92 | Violet Orlandi | "In The Air Tonight - Metal Version" | single | We have waited for this moment all our lives, |
| 2021-11-19 | 93 | Saint Asonia | "Blinding Lights" | single | or since the last city turned out to be cold and empty. |
| 2021-11-19 | 94 | Conquer Divide | "Bad Habits" | single | This city full of flames will at least be neither of those things. |
| 2021-11-19 | 95 | The Haxans | "Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps)" | single | Opening the gates allows the city and the world to seek a new equilibrium between curiosity and fear. |
| 2021-11-12 | 26 | Loveless | "meet me at our spot" | single | so the thing we hold between us, both of our hands on the metal and stone and air of it, |
| 2021-11-12 | 38 | We Are the Catalyst | "More" | single | only to be daunted and embraced by our expanding auras. |
| 2021-11-12 | 39 | Daedric | "Sepulchre" | Sepulchre +3 | In fables are we contained, |
| 2021-11-12 | 40 | The Murder of My Sweet | "Kill Your Darlings" | single | but those characters live at our whim, |
| 2021-11-12 | 41 | Amaranthe | "PvP" | single | infinities impersonated |
| 2021-11-12 | 42 | Aevum | "Black Swan Theory" | single | and ultimately indistinguishable. |
| 2021-11-12 | 43 | Vengeant | "Curse of the Sands" | single | We could pick a loss and grind a desert around it, |
| 2021-11-12 | 44 | Magica | "Lună nebună" | single | as if there weren't enough dust-covered rocks waiting for us in the sky, |
| 2021-11-12 | 45 | Theatres Des Vampires | "Christina" | single | entertaining each other by exchanging fanciful claims of divinity |
| 2021-11-12 | 46 | Damian Hamada's Creatures | "謝肉祭" | 魔界美術館 | while they await our decisive adoration. |

| 2021-11-12 | 48 | GRAND FINALE | "Never Be Alone" | single | but knowledge is what distinguishes yearning from dehydration, |
| 2021-11-12 | 49 | KAQRIYOTERROR | "Not Killed" | Not Killed +1 | and the dust merely covers more dust, |
| 2021-11-12 | 55 | 戮-Riku- | "鱗粉" | 鱗粉 +1 | It takes so much energy to maintain such superficial distinctions, |
| 2021-11-12 | 70 | Edge Of Forever | "Shift the Paradigm" | single | We jump in the idiot hope that the finite world will move away underneath us, |
| 2021-11-12 | 72 | Emigrate | "RAGE" | THE PERSISTENCE OF MEMORY | Travel is flight, but so is standing still. |
| 2021-11-12 | 73 | Manntra | "Nightcall" | Nightcall +2 | So is falling. |
| 2021-11-12 | 74 | NorthTale | "Wings of Salvation" | Eternal Flame | So is standing up again. |
| 2021-11-12 | 75 | Dawn Of Solace | "Event Horizon" | Event Horizon +2 | Our fantasies always seem to be draped alluringly over imaginary edges, |
| 2021-11-12 | 76 | Digimortal | "Перемирие завершено" | Создатель (альбомная версия) | but we pick them up and something small and chitinous scuttles away across inevitably flat sand. |
| 2021-11-12 | 77 | The Halo Effect | "Shadowminds" | single | We are the creatures writing cursory poems to our shadows |
| 2021-11-12 | 78 | Wolftopia | "The Alpha" | The Alpha +2 | before turning around to feel the light on our faces |
| 2021-11-12 | 79 | A Tergo Lupi | "Fade Under" | single | and our shadows' reproach on our heels. |
| 2021-11-12 | 80 | Cân Bardd | "Echoes of the Moss" | Devoured by the Oak | Space is both dark and silent, |
| 2021-11-12 | 81 | Negură Bunget | "Toacă Din Cer - Single Edit" | single | but filled with light and empty of songs. |
| 2021-11-12 | 82 | Wiegedood | "Now Will Always Be" | single | Time is like a new kind of space made by creatures cursed to destroy what they encounter, |
| 2021-11-12 | 83 | Anomalie | "Trance I: The Tree" | single | who have found a way to make their guilt into an inertia. |
| 2021-11-12 | 84 | Second To Sun | "Veter" | Veter +1 | There didn't use to be this many planets, |
| 2021-11-12 | 85 | Funeral | "Erindring I - Hovmod" | single | but be nice about it, we will outlive |
| 2021-11-12 | 86 | Otargos | "Fleshborer Soulflayer" | single | and outdie them. |
| 2021-11-12 | 87 | Dauþuz | "Der Bergschmied I - Mein Berg" | Vom schwarzen Schmied | Instead of putting a single bright forge at the origin, |
| 2021-11-12 | 88 | Sanguinum | "A White Light Over The Forest" | Manifestation Of The Essence | we have spun dizzying glows into all our own myraid paths, |
| 2021-11-12 | 89 | Natura Aeternum | "Creature of the Night" | Nightcrawler | and then stepped into them as if emerging from myth |
| 2021-11-12 | 90 | Maladie | "My Soul, Old" | single | rather than, inherently and gravely, entering into it. |
| 2021-11-12 | 91 | Bala | "Una Selva" | Maleza | We could reach into any wound and feel our hearts, |
| 2021-11-12 | 92 | Hadal Maw | "Vile Veneration" | single | and afterwards drip the blood onto a new determinist altar, |
| 2021-11-12 | 93 | 616 | "Goddamn Liar" | single | or we could heal without forgetting that we are the tension between the centrifugal and centripetal forces of our circulation. |
| 2021-11-12 | 98 | Sarah Jezebel Deva | "A Sign Of Sublime Redux" | single | and that they trace the insignia of us and our gods across the sky, |
| 2021-11-05 | 1 | My Own Ghost | "Believe" | single | Yes to more grandiose metal songs about allowing yourself to appreciate a held hand. |
| 2021-11-05 | 2 | Shereign | "Dark Waters" | single | Yes always to guitars like engines, and English choruses in Finnish accents. |
| 2021-11-05 | 3 | Future Palace | "Paradise" | single | Yes to dreaming of futures without problems as a tactic for forcing the problems to confront their own precarity, |
| 2021-11-05 | 4 | Kandia | "Fight or Flight" | single | and then screaming back into the contested now. |
| 2021-11-05 | 5 | Divided Island | "Radiating Light" | Radiating Light +2 | We produce no light, but see everything in it. |
| 2021-11-05 | 6 | Starkill | "Walk Through Fire" | single | Our ridiculous ideas are tremendous, |
| 2021-11-05 | 7 | Evereal | "Fear" | single | which makes up a little for how our tremendous ideas sometimes prove to be loathsome. |
| 2021-11-05 | 8 | Aeternitas | "Shadows" | single | Courage is the ability to sing a song like you believe it, |
| 2021-11-05 | 9 | Kissin' Dynamite | "Good Life (feat. Saltatio Mortis, Charlotte Wessels & Guernica Mancini)" | Good Life (feat. Saltatio Mortis, Charlotte Wessels & Guernica Mancini) +2 | knowing that you can't possibly be sure. |
| 2021-11-05 | 10 | Evol Walks | "Gun & a Crucifix" | single | Faith is like this, too, |
| 2021-11-05 | 11 | Jim Peterik And World Stage | "Taller" | Tigress - Women Who Rock the World | in the way that cages are like stages. |
| 2021-11-05 | 12 | Saxon | "Carpe Diem (Seize the Day)" | single | Today slips away from a trillion grasping hands, but if you can seize an autumn afternoon from 122 C.E. |
| 2021-11-05 | 13 | Opera Diabolicus | "Bring out Your Dead" | Bring out Your Dead +2 | you will have a loaned treasure you don't have to immediately return. |
| 2021-11-05 | 14 | Xiphea | "Witchcraft" | Witchcraft | This is how there is still new power to be found in old spells, |
| 2021-11-05 | 15 | Theatres Des Vampires | "Death in Venice" | single | and doomed immortality in drowning cities. |
| 2021-11-05 | 16 | Hanging Garden | "Neither Moth nor Rust" | single | The prize of the Ancient Wonders isn't the one that survived, it's the one that we're not certain ever existed. |
| 2021-11-05 | 17 | AfterTime | "Forge Your Destiny" | Infinite Legacy | The purest legends originate somewhere outside of time, |
| 2021-11-05 | 18 | Haast | "Antipodean" | Made of Light | thus exempt from our expectations and limits. |
| 2021-11-05 | 19 | Sarke | "Funeral Fire" | Allsighr | We conjure pyres and apocalypses to justify beginning again, |
| 2021-11-05 | 20 | Dwell in Doom | "Gallows Hill" | single | or to imagine rebirth as a triumphant return, |
| 2021-11-05 | 21 | Omnium Gatherum | "Prime" | Origin | instead of a tattered Elven ship limping back to New Mithlond. |
| 2021-11-05 | 22 | Frozen Shield | "Canvas of Snow" | Ínia | The harbormaster takes his pipe out of his mouth, and squints with one eye. |
| 2021-11-05 | 23 | Erdling | "Fimbulwinter" | Leuchtfeuer 4 | "What did you forget?" |
| 2021-11-05 | 24 | Hypocrisy | "Children of the Gray" | Children of the Gray +2 | The answer, of course, is that what they forgot to take away with them, |
| 2021-11-05 | 25 | Merta | "Palanut maa" | Minä | into the blessed realms, is us, |
| 2021-11-05 | 26 | MØL | "Fraktur" | Diorama | and they didn't exactly forget. |
| 2021-11-05 | 27 | Bornholm | "My Evangelium" | Apotheosis | Half-honest legends pause to wonder why the gods |
| 2021-11-05 | 28 | Aquilus | "Lucille's Gate" | single | would strand us on this hopeless, distant rock. |
| 2021-11-05 | 29 | Mroh | "Whispers from Nowhere" | XII | Fully-honest legends probably go no further, |
| 2021-11-05 | 30 | Ars Magna Umbrae | "Beyond the Stellar Gates" | single | which is why only the ridiculous legends have any analogic power. |
| 2021-11-05 | 31 | MUCC | "GONER" | GONER/WORLD 3 | The Elves, of course, never actually left. |
| 2021-11-05 | 32 | D | "Zmei ~Fumetsu ryuu~" | single | They stayed, and formed visual kei bands. |
| 2021-11-05 | 69 | Boris | "Reincarnation Rose" | single | Also, how do you get the job as the harbormaster of a decomissioned port? |
| 2021-11-05 | 70 | Zetra | "The Raven's Game" | single | Easier, I guess, to see why you might want it. |
| 2021-11-05 | 71 | A Pregnant Light | "The Ghost of Sab Grey" | All Saints' Day 2 4 | Either you get to do nothing but chew on a pipe and think, |
| 2021-11-05 | 72 | Portrayal of Guilt | "The Sixth Circle" | CHRISTFUCKER | or you get to be there when the Elves return. |
| 2021-11-05 | 75 | Converge | "Coil" | single | The stories that sustain us do so by carrying us from any sudden moment to another. |
| 2021-11-05 | 82 | Emma Ruth Rundle | "Body" | Engine of Hell | coiled inside of us in exactly the shapes of our veins and gestures, |
| 2021-11-05 | 83 | El Cuervo de Poe | "Berenice" | single | waiting to be our hideous strength. |
| 2021-11-05 | 100 | VK Lynne | "It Hurts" | single | that the pain closed its grip around something that we don't even have any more, |
| 2021-11-05 | 101 | Virus of Ideals | "Nymphetamine Fix" | single | more sugar trails than pillars of salt. |
| 2021-11-05 | 102 | Crimson Day | "Immigrant Song" | single | We drive our ships to the other side of the same lands, and come back to our homes from the other direction, holding out hands that have been away. |
| 2021-10-29 | 9 | Nocean | "The Fall" | Aurora: The Weight of a Shadow | We are all more human than anything else, |
| 2021-10-29 | 10 | Ad Infinitum | "Animals" | Chapter II - Legacy | grandly and inescapably, |
| 2021-10-29 | 11 | Persona | "Animals" | Animal | viscerally and helpless. |
| 2021-10-29 | 12 | Nekonomicon | "Cursed Kurbee" | single | We look up at the sky, or down at our own hands, |
| 2021-10-29 | 13 | Aexylium | "Mountains" | The Fifth Season | or past them to the ground, |
| 2021-10-29 | 14 | Coronatus | "Time Of The Raven" | single | and thus there may be only two stories, |
| 2021-10-29 | 15 | Beast In Black | "Dark New World" | Dark Connection | but they have three different morals: |
| 2021-10-29 | 16 | Aephanemer | "Antigone" | Antigone +1 | everything is possible, |
| 2021-10-29 | 17 | Mister Misery | "Strangeland II - The Return" | single | we are mortal, |
| 2021-10-29 | 18 | Power Quest | "Bound for Glory" | single | or we are here. |
| 2021-10-29 | 19 | Dynazty | "Advent" | single | Or, more likely, all morals are compounded out of these three elements, |
| 2021-10-29 | 20 | Equilibrium | "XX" | single | and most contain them all. |
| 2021-10-29 | 21 | Allegaeon | "Into Embers" | single | Or, teleologically, our morality is whatever these three things produce. |
| 2021-10-29 | 22 | Be'lakor | "Locus" | Coherence | We are precisely and inherently the creatures of these bodies on this surface, |
| 2021-10-29 | 23 | Mastodon | "Gigantium" | Hushed and Grim | and thus ourselves the calibrations of all our conceptions of extents. |
| 2021-10-29 | 24 | Volbeat | "Becoming" | Becoming +3 | I'll have to take this all back if we make it to Venus and the sentient semi-corporeal plasma-slugs have pop-metal bands that sound just like this, |
| 2021-10-29 | 25 | Raizer | "Invisible" | Resurrection | but it's wonderful either way. |
| 2021-10-29 | 28 | PassCode | "Freely" | single | I was right, but it has also just as dreamily prepared me for Japanese kawaii cyber-metalcore. |
| 2021-10-29 | 29 | BAND-MAID | "Sense" | Sense +2 | We see ourselves in the shiny surfaces of all of these machines, and find homes in all of these wonderlands, |
| 2021-10-29 | 47 | Archspire | "Abandon the Linear" | Bleed the Future | We brandish heraldry of sides taken against time, |
| 2021-10-29 | 48 | Doedsvangr | "Flagelist" | Serpents Ov Old | not because we have discovered an immunity to it, |
| 2021-10-29 | 49 | Sol Sistere | "The Narrow Path" | Sol Sistere | but because we have become so reliant on a temporary misconception of history as short |
| 2021-10-29 | 50 | Häxkapell | "Eldskapt" | Eldhymner | that we think we can return to the beginning of it with a short fall |
| 2021-10-29 | 51 | Grafnár | "Ómennsk" | single | and a soft landing, |
| 2021-10-29 | 52 | Cronómetrobudú | "Guerra Serena" | Verne | with a serene war |
| 2021-10-29 | 80 | Beast In Black | "My Dystopia" | Dark Connection | You can't rewind time a few convenient minutes and then leave it motionless, |
| 2021-10-29 | 81 | Ad Infinitum | "Inferno" | Chapter II - Legacy | any more than you can light a final fire and walk away. |
| 2021-10-29 | 82 | Nocean | "The Farewell" | Aurora: The Weight of a Shadow | This doesn't mean that you are trapped, that you can't walk away, that there is no away. |
| 2021-10-22 | 1 | Nocean | "The Rise" | single | The first power streaming music offers is access to the world. |
| 2021-10-22 | 2 | Battle Beast | "Master of Illusion" | single | You can find songs from places you have never been, |
| 2021-10-22 | 3 | Supernova Plasmajets | "Beggin'" | Now or Never | or places you have visited dozens of times but come home from. |
| 2021-10-22 | 4 | MoonSun | "Slain by Silence" | single | But listening has inertia, like anything else that displaces air, |
| 2021-10-22 | 5 | Ignea | "Magura's Last Kiss" | Bestia 5 | and the second power streaming offers is release from its necessity. |
| 2021-10-22 | 6 | Ersedu | "Black Garden" | Bestia 5 | If the song you are listening to is not carrying you into awe, |
| 2021-10-22 | 7 | Septem Voices | "Смерть историй" | single | other songs are waiting eagerly to try. |
| 2021-10-22 | 8 | Hand of Kalliach | "Òran na Tein'-éigin" | Samhainn | You are no longer constrained by your records, |
| 2021-10-22 | 9 | Neopera | "Verge of War" | single | and thus have to answer for your hypothetical soul: |
| 2021-10-22 | 10 | Carmilla | "People of the Eagle" | single | will it wander eternally tormented by the idea that there are better songs you haven't heard yet, |
| 2021-10-22 | 11 | Secret Rule | "A New War" | single | or will it converge on a point of at once static and ecstatic familiarity? |
| 2021-10-22 | 12 | Catalyst Crime | "Projection of My Mind" | Catalyst Crime | Is your favorite song an unreachable ideal, |
| 2021-10-22 | 13 | Rage Of Light | "Lead The Riot" | single | or an inescapable one? |
| 2021-10-22 | 42 | Indigo Raven | "Our Sacred Soil" | Looking for Transcendence | without change to its helical structure. |
| 2021-10-22 | 43 | Blackwater Holylight | "Who The Hell" | Silence/Motion | Funerals differ from other rituals |
| 2021-10-22 | 47 | Runa Llena | "Keltoi" | single | but this doesn't establish their irrelevance, |
| 2021-10-22 | 48 | Hulkoff | "Vápnum - Svitjod Edition" | Ragnarök | it confirms your instrinsic responsibility for how they are re-applied. |
| 2021-10-22 | 49 | Obscura | "When Stars Collide" | When Stars Collide +3 | All cataclysmic cosmology is metaphor to the unincinerated: |
| 2021-10-22 | 50 | Arch Enemy | "Deceiver, Deceiver" | single | fireworks in the image of perdition. |
| 2021-10-22 | 51 | Bloodred Hourglass | "Leaves" | Your Highness | It isn't that no real things burn, |
| 2021-10-22 | 52 | Voutsa | "11th Hour" | single | it's that they are never consumed by transient and illusory claims about fire, |
| 2021-10-22 | 53 | Sarke | "Grim Awakening" | single | and however starkly divided we are by arguments over the morality or significance of flames, |
| 2021-10-22 | 54 | Swallow The Sun | "Enemy" | Enemy +1 | we are still united against their heat |
| 2021-10-22 | 55 | Raat | "Eternity" | Eternity +3 | and in their light. |
| 2021-10-22 | 56 | 1914 | "FN .380 ACP#19074" | Where Fear and Weapons Meet | War is how you get from bad planning to gruesome history |
| 2021-10-22 | 57 | Gravpel | "Tribute to Tiqqun | Identity" | Power to the filthy Masses | and back again. |
| 2021-10-22 | 58 | Archgoat | "Black Womb Gnosis" | single | But all any side wins is the chance for all of them to start over from that same lost place, |
| 2021-10-22 | 59 | Cradle Of Filth | "Existential Terror" | Existence Is Futile | no less scared |
| 2021-10-22 | 60 | Dream Theater | "Transcending Time" | A View From The Top Of The World | but hopefully a little more certain that you can't become unlost by declarational sovereignty. |
| 2021-10-22 | 62 | Manimal | "Chains of Fury" | Chains of Fury 5 | amidst the ruins of anger |

| 2021-10-01 | 41 | Atlas | "Uhri" | Uhri +3 | and Play means "now put your hand over the price tag", |
| 2021-10-01 | 42 | Schavot | "Tussen muren" | Galgenbrok | and both states play music |
