Hella - Hold Your Horse Is instrumental math rock
Converge - Axe to Fall one of my top 3 favorite (metal) releases from last year
Bongzilla - Gateway probably my favorite stoner metal release ever

Maudlin of the Well have released a new album of previously-written, but never recorded material.
- It was completely fan-sponsored
- It can be streamed or downloaded
- It's fantastic
