It's 2018 AOTY AND 2020 AOTY contender
Anyway here are some of my favourite 2020 albums in a siccc 6 grid
New Regarde Les Hommes Tomber is some of the best (post?) black metal I've heard in years.
The top right one is O'Brother - You and I and they honestly topped Endless Light with this one imo, I love moody indie/post-rock with haunting vocals too much not to be completely in love with this. Took a couple listens to grow on me though but it's pretty comfortably at #1 of the year for me now.
Algiers is actually a band Cyril introduced me to with a song I was always a bit lukewarm on.. but when I eventually checked them out I found out they had a very wide sound. I love the crazy range they have from upbeat blues-y stuff, alt rock, gospel/soul and straight up sad indie. The singer is insanely good, and Hour of the Furnaces easily ranks among the best tracks of the year for me.
Katatonia is Katatonia, I guess everyone here knows them anyway.
Bottom left is Technatura by Vulkan and joins the Psychonaut album in that it's a pretty adventurous progressive metal album (doesn't have any post- or sludge unlike Psychonaut though) but is quite long.. but so worth it.
Last one is Kindred by Hexvessel, quite a diverse band, and this latest one has kind of a dark folky approach to it with their usual kind of psychedelic prog rock elements. Monday I found out that their drummer is the drummer of Dark Buddha Rising / Waste of Space Orchestra, which makes this even cooler. At times there's almost a modern Opeth vibe to this album, but still unique.
