I have no idea how to use this space... monthly music lists and reviews, a personal blog, maybe?
Until then...
🎧 Favorite Releases - 2025
Obviously, anything listed in the monthly posts would be worth checking out, in my opinion - but these were my favorites. These are mostly some form of death metal or adjacent. The top is in ranked order, but I decided to leave it more open-ended for other standouts beyond a top 5, but still kind of in order...ish.
