It’s nearly the middle of the year. And what better way to celebrate than with a nice list of brilliant albums that have come out already. There’s probably better ways to celebrate this passage of time, but it’s a Sunday and I can’t be bothered. I could easily have expanded this list to a top twenty. But that seemed like a lot of effort.
This list will be alphabetical, for the sake of fairness. And also because it’s too hard to choose a number one. Sorry.
I first heard about Seidr via Austin Lunn’s one man pagan-anarcho black metal (a term used by the man himself, not just some madness I made up. Honest), band Panopticon (which is brilliant, check it out). Seidr is one of many side projects that Lunn has on the boil. How he finds the time to do this and record as prolifically as he does for Panopticon, I’ll never know.
