15. Black Cilice - Mysteries
January 30, 2015
Critic Score
80
2 reviews
This kind of raw, atmospheric black metal harkens back to when the genre was still wet with afterbirth.
14. Myrkur - M
August 21, 2015

What remains Bruun’s strongest suit is the way she juxtaposes the extremity of her influences.
13. Torche - Restarter
February 24, 2015
Critic Score
75
14 reviews
It feels like a Big Rock Album, the kind that we barely get from any band these days, no matter what part of the mainstream or underground they hail from.
12. High on Fire - Luminiferous
June 16, 2015
Critic Score
78
11 reviews
Like all of High on Fire’s efforts, Luminiferous is an extravagance, no doubt, but it’s their most refined. And everyone can afford a few of those every now and again.
8. The Body & Thou - Released From Love / You, Whom I Have Always Hated
January 27, 2015
Critic Score
76
8 reviews
Every note sounds instinctual, every moment fluid; this is what happens when good friends come together to watch the world burn.
2. Krallice - Ygg Huur
July 30, 2015
Critic Score
73
4 reviews
It’s their most conscious rejection of grandiosity yet, a turn toward nervous and gnarled instrumentals that bear little resemblance to what’s come before.
1. Deafheaven - New Bermuda
October 2, 2015
Critic Score
80
20 reviews
New Bermuda both expands their range and sees them coming further into their own.
