Current Music Obsessions: April 2019
Holy tits am I late on posting this. I feel as if I don't have that much on this list for this month and that's thanks to me getting a job and not having much time to just sit back and listen to music on a regular basis. But let's look at the stuff I enjoyed, starting out with the honorable mentions.
The Heard - A Death Supreme Atomic Symphony - Breathing Rage Cellar Darling - Drown Iggy Azalea - Sally Walker Oceans - Into the Void Kanga - Viciousness Flora Cash - They Own this Town Jamala - Крила Meytal - Armalite oOoOoOoOoOo - I Hope You Sleep Well / Well-Oiled Machine (live) Hanging Garden - Backwoods Sessions II: One Hundred Years Pelagos - Muted Stars Deep Sun - Heroes
VRSTY - Colorblind Marina - Superstar Nevena Božović - Kruna Michela - Chameleon Srbuk - Walking Out Brooke Candy - Happy Fleshgod Apocalypse - Sugar Elina Nechayeva - La voce dell'alba Vetrar Draugurinn - The Wolves at our Door Sevdaliza - Darkest Hour Lachrymose - Nepenthe Port Noir - Young Bloods Raven Black - 13 AfterBlood - Enemy in Me
Now for the few main obsessions.
Lunar Path - Thin White Lines
This is the second song I've heard from these guys and I absolutely love it. This is some amazing gothic metal. It's so haunting and powerful. It does seem to float around the same note and tone, but the execution is what makes this song as epic and amazing as it is.
Saor - Bron
Randomly found this song one day and fell in love with it so quickly. It's an atmospheric doom metal track and it's absolutely gorgeous. The female guest singer is what really sells this song for me. Her voice adds this haunting element to it that I just adore.
Maruv - Siren Song
I was wondering why I never saw Ukraine on the Eurovision 2019 playlist and it's because they pulled out this year, and this was the banger that was supposed to represent them. Albania would've been moved to second place if this made it to the competition. It's such an amazing song. And don't get me started on both the live video and this music video. They are both perfection.
Seraphic - The Monster Within
Another random YouTube find that I became obsessed with. I always love finding bands where the front woman sings in a lower register. I'm definitely am gonna look more into these guys, because I really love their sound. Also, I am obsessed with the keys on this track. They're so good.
Angellore - Inertia
Got another atmospheric doom metal track for you guys that was another random YouTube find. It's so soft and so haunting. The male and female singers' voices blend so beautifully together. I really need to hear more from them, because this is some lovely stuff.
Roniit - Wide Awake
This is her latest single and I am in love. It's so cool seeing how much she's grown as a singer and artist since discovering her when Lost at Sea was released. Her music has become more ambient, but also more stronger and powerful at the same time since then. I know it sounds weird to say that something sounds both ambient and powerful, but this track really embodies that. I highly recommend you give this a listen.
And that's it for April. Now it's May. Hopefully I'll have more of a list for May, but I'm not making any promises since this job is taking a lot of my time away. But we'll have to wait and see (or better yet, hear) what great tunes are to follow.
