Alta, by Acolyte

Alta

by Acolyte

supported by

Morts As much as I dislike making obvious statements, sometimes it can't be avoided and at the risk of sounding like a cliché I must state that Acolyte to Opeth comparisons ring loud and true. Before you roll your eyes up, let me just say that the statement is an incredibly favourable one! If you like Opeth, Okera and/or any of their peers you will definitely be an immediate Acolyte fan, especially if the idea of lack of clean vocals appeals to you! Don't waste time, cram your metalhead with Acolyte! Favorite track: Leng.

This is my favorite metal album of all time. The only bad thing is that the vocals are somewhat buried in the mix. Otherwise, the record perfectly blends a mix of metal genres with excellent songcraft. A record you'll listen to again and again. The Real Nick House

Dwellings

Easily one of the best metal albums of the 2010s, which says something. Musically, it's like you've taken black metal, doom, and good old NWOBHM and thrown it into a blender for a while. More impressively, the lyrics to these songs are some of the most hauntingly beautiful and devastating I've ever heard. Case in point, Junta. Just listen to it. grungiernine0

Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann
