1. Sleater-Kinney – The Woods
Poundingly vicious, Janet Weiss sounds like she’s using John Bonham’s femur bones for sticks. Perfect way to end chapter1

2. Opeth – Ghost Reveries
Their most finely balanced mix of brutal crunch and stately, almost lovely arrangements that pay homage to British and German prog bands and space rock. Opeth's peak.

4. Truckfighters – Gravity X
How Soundgarden and Nirvana might have sounded had they come up in that scene, mixed with some subtly progressive elements. Fuzz with a tang of Scandinavian melancholy.

5. Gojira – From Mars To Sirius
Environmentally-fueled rage, channeled through rat-a-tat Meshuggah style blastbeats, and Neurosis level roar of existential despair.

Crystalline reverberating guitar, thick bass, pounding drums and overall dark sheen will sound familiar to fans of Teardrop Explodes, Comsat Angels and The Sound.
