Pryapisme - Xenomorphs are Just Big Chickens After All Amorphis - Heart of the Giant Neverlight - Your Medusa Mariza - Barco Negro The Dresden Dolls - Coin-Operated Boy Trillium - Shards Amorphis - Amongst Stars feat. Anneke van Giersbergen

Now here are the MANY true obsessions.

1) Tesseract - Smile

Such a great track. It flows back and forth between being soft and ambient to being sludgy and in your face. I LOVE the belts in this track so much. They add such an interesting touch to it.

2) Neverlight - The Revenant

Decided to give this a listen after falling in love with Fractal and holy tits is this song gorgeous. I decided to give Nova Red a listen after hearing this, because this track is so lovely. I keep getting blown away by these symphonic metal bands from the States lately.

3) Emphasis - 53.7% Redemption Song

Soul Transfer is a very interesting album and is very proggy. This is one of the rather proggy tracks. The chorus packs such a punch even though it's so simple. It's all in the backing vocals and those unique riffs. Also I love the fact that each song has the percentage on them to show how far into the album you are.

64.3% The Metaphysics of Love

This song is so pretty. The strings in the chorus are everything and same goes to the harmonies in it. Such a gorgeous track. This and Redemption Song are my favorites off the album. They're just so good!

4) Elyose - Pour un écu

I finaly got around to listening to Ipso Facto and this track really stood out to me. It has more of a symphonic metal vibe to it at times and I love the exit of the chorus. Definitely packs a punch. It still baffles me that their front woman is so tiny and has such a powerful voice.

5) Celine Dion - Ashes

THIS IS HOW YOU PROMOTE A FUCKING MOVIE. I can't wait to be able to see Deadpool 2 and this song/video has increased the need even more. The song is absolutely divine and makes me want to actually dabble into Celine. "This thing only goes to 11, so beat it, Spiderman."

6) Conflict - Summertime Sadness (Lana Del Rey cover)

They did so good with this cover. At first I was worried that they were going to take a more aggressive approach with it, but they actually went rather ambient. Such a beautiful cover that captures the essence of the song very well. Love it.

7) Dimmu Borgir - Rite of Passage

This is how you close an album. Eonia was an interesting album and really enjoyed it. But this track, along with Sovereign, were my favorites. Sometimes you just need a rather simple track to make a huge impression. I never would've expected them to release a full on instrumental track, but they did and they blew it out of the park.

8) Cariosus - Reconciliation of the Anima

This is such a great death metal track. A nonstop assault from start to finish. I really need to check out more from these guys. In a similar situation with Justine from Elyose, it's shocking to hear how monstrous their frontman sounds given how he looks.

9) Caligula's Horse - Turntail

I'd heard of these guys before, so when I saw this pop up in the recommended videos, I had to check it out. So glad I did. Such a great prog track. I'm definitely am gonna check out more from them sometime in the future. I need more prog bands like this to listen to.

10) Plugs of Apocalypse - Disappear

These guys keep dropping bomb singles left and right. It's a really pretty track and I wish I would've known they dropped an album last year, I would've checked it out. Getting back to this track. It evokes a lot of emotions and is very raw. Love the blend of the singers' voices on it.

11) Elvellon - The Puppeteer

This is their first single off their upcoming debut album, Until Dawn, and hOLY BALLS IS IT AMAZING. It's unlike anything off Spellbound. Probably their heaviest track they've released so far, or at least their darkest one yet. It's almost shocking to know this is the same band, because Nela is singing in a way she never really did on Spellbound and it really caught me off guard. I am so excited for the new album to drop!

12) InAeona - Sun Moon

Came across this song while listening to Soldier one day and it's pretty damn good. It's more on the proggy side than Soldier, but is still just as sludgy. I'm definitely am gonna check out more from these guys. Their sound is so different and unique in the prog scene.

13) Jonathan Young and Caleb Hyles - The Plagues (The Prince of Egypt) (metal version)

I loved the original version they did of this cover, but holy balls did they kill it with this metal version. The symphonic metal nerd in me lost my shit when this popped up. My only complaint is that I wish the guitars were a bit louder, but you have to remember they're not the focus here. But I'm obsessed with dramatic music and louder guitars would've pushed it that much further.

14) The Northern - Samsara

Randomly came across this metalcore track one day because the thumbnail looked pretty. It's a really great jam and I love how the drummer does some singing. Also, the video is fucking gorgeous. I'm definitely am gonna check out more from these guys.

15) Follow the Ciper - A Mind's Escape

This is such a fun track and shows a lot of different dimensions of the band. This was a great debut album for these guys. I'm typically not into bands like them, but gurl, their front woman's voice packs such an insane punch and the fact they have some growls going on in some of their tracks adds more to the package.

16) The End of Melancholy - Dolphins

After falling in love with The Demon, I had to check out more from them. This song is so gorgeous. It's nowhere near as aggressive as The Demon, but that don't mean shit when the song is bomb.

17) Post Malone - Rockstar feat. 21 Savage

Shit on me all you want, but this song is great. I blame Elders React. He has a really great voice and this track has a cool vibe to it. With that being said, I hate his look so much. He looks so trashy, but his music is pretty damn good.

18) Caligatum - Inocencia Abortada feat. Cristobal Aguilar Basulto (Elitania)

This song is absolutely gorgeous. The instrumentals, the choirs, the blending of Arianna and Cristobal's voices. So much yes. This is pure symphonic gothic metal at its finest. It's haunting, it's dark, it's gorgeous. What more can I say about it?

19) Apparition - Resonance

I decided to give their new album a listen after falling in love with The Dames of Darkness. These guys have a really fresh take on symphonic gothic metal and it really shows on this track. It has this softness that is so calming, but it's still very much a dramatic metal track. The intro is just absolutely lovely and really helps to set the mood of the song.

20) Crownless - Prophecy

I'm pretty sure I discovered these guys a few months ago, but I wasn't too wowed by them. But then I randomly came across this video and holy balls did I fall in love with it. This is one of the most insane symphonic power metal tracks I've ever heard. Their sound is so in your face at all times and the singer's voice is so strong and abrasive. So much yes. I had to listen to their new album and it's great.

That's it for the month of May! June is my birthday month, so let's hope I can find some great tunes to jam out to.
