Bath Time Records Albums Of 2020. Number One. My Album Of The Year. Paradise Lost — Obsidian // As a long time fan I've stopped expecting anything less than greatness from these Yorkshire legends. At this point in their 30 plus year career they could drop decent but average albums and everyone would be fine with that. Instead, the band drop possibly their best album. This is expansive Gothic Metal taking in every facet of their sound to date. Goth, Doom, Doom Death and even those so called "Depeche Mode" elements. Strings, acoustics and pianos accent the heavy as lead riffs and beautifully miserable dripping leads. The drums are expressive and the vocals range from the guttural to the sublime. 16 albums in Paradise Lost have no right to release an album this damn good. It's by far one of the bands best albums. And it's album of the year for me. Easy. #BathTimeRecord #AlbumsOfTheYear #AlbumsOf2020 #BathTimeRecordsAlbumOf2020 #BathTimeRecordAlbumOfTheYear #ParadiseLost #Obsidian (at Wakefield) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJde7Yms9c6/?igshid=ia9tyn0bcwyj

Bath Time Records Albums Of 2020. Part 10. 19. Deftones — Ohms // Alt Metal superstars Deftones return with a perfect fusion of the more triphoppy vibes of Gore and the titanic riffs of old. Brilliant. 18. Seeming — The Birdwatches Guide To Atrocity // Staggeringly unique Synthpop / New Wave with deep resonant vocals. The melancholic power of this album is extraordinary. 17. Jessie Frye — Kiss Me In The Rain // Retro Synthwave Pop songs from this Texan chanteuse. These songs have found a way under my skin. Perfect sing-a-long retro tunes. 16. ESA — Burial 10 // The balance between the Industrial Noise and the more mainstream sounds is astonishing. Then there is the bravery that is Heavy Is The Head. Jamie is carving out his own legendary place in Industrial music history here. Astounding. 15. Promenade Cinema — Exit Guides // Noire Synthpop? Noirepop? Is that even a genre? It is now because Promenade Cinema have crafted an album of beautifully realised light and shade. 14. Deathwhite — Grave Image // Progressive Death Doom. Awesome riffs, elegant melody and the ability to ride a riff to heaven. Helps that they can smash out a hook laden chorus too. 13. Palm Reader — Sleepless // Post Hardcore, Post Rock and Prog Metal smash up against each other and produce an album I'm certain I'll be listening to for the rest of my life. A stunning record from these guys from Nottingham. 11. Creeper — Sex, Death & The Infinite Void // Glam Cabaret Gothic Rock n Roll sounds like it would be horrible. Creeper prove otherwise. Catchy and smooth and simply awesome. This band should be superstars. 11. Winterfylleth — The Reckoning Dawn // The UK's best Black Metal band roar back into heavy action after their Old English folk detour. But they've added so much more dynamics to their sound now that they are an unstoppable force of nature. #BathTimeRecord #AlbumsOfTheYear #AlbumsOf2020 #Deftones #Ohms #Seeming #TheBirdWatchersGuideToAtrocity #JessieFrye #KissMeInTheRain #ESA #Burial10 #PromenadeCinema #ExitGuides #Deathwhite #GraveImage #Svalbard #WhenIDieWillIGetBetter #Creeper #SexDeathAndTheInfiniteVoid #Winterfylleth #TheReckoningDawn (at Wakefield) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJYQZHZMqF_/?igshid=4z5fr8zv0r0

Bath Time Records Albums Of 2020. Part 9. 28. Run The Jewels — RTJ4 // The world was falling apart already and then there was the death of George Floyd. Then, in what seemed like perfect timing, Run The Jewels dropped this. Epic, brilliant, important and timely Hip Hop. 27. Jeremy Inkel — Hijacker // Posthumous release from the Industrial music legend. Techno, IDM and Industrial form a wonderful seething and pulsing album that shows Jeremy was a genius. RIP. 26. Pallbearer — Forgotten Days // Wow. Doom Metal that has so much weight to it yet is also so full of lightness despite the lyrical offerings. So good. 25. Ulver — Flowers Of Evil // Melancholic and deeply emotional Synthpop from former Black Metal band. Couldn't believe what I was hearing at first and it gets better with every listen. 24. AA Williams — Forever Blue // More melancholic misery from singer song writer Williams. Brooding at times but always wonderfully crushing and cathartic and beautiful. 23. Enslaved — Utgard // Expressive, expansive and progressive Post Black Metal from one of the second waves best bands. They just keep getting better. 22. Georgia — Seeking Thrills // Alt Pop debut album from the daughter of music legend Neil Barnes (Leftfield) shows that genius runs in the family. Well crafted Synthpop songs don't get better than this. 21. Caspian — On Circles // Sky scrapping Post Rock that makes life slow down and seem all the more vibrant. Remarkable. 20. Blaqk Audio — Beneath The Black Palms // AFI main men Davey Havok and Jade Pudget continue to make excellent Synthpop. Every track here is so catchy. Brilliant. #BathTimeRecord #AlbumsOfTheYear #AlbumsOf2020 #RunTheJewels #RTJ4 #JeremyInkle #Hijacker #Pallbearer #ForgottenDays #Ulver #FlowersOfEvil #AAWilliams #ForeverBlue #Enslaved #Utgard #Georgia #SeekingThrills #Caspian #OnCircles #BlaqkAudio #BeneathTheBlackPalms (at Wakefield) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJVgd6qsxGZ/?igshid=c7fcvq1abo

Bath Time Records Albums Of 2020. Part 8. 37. Elephant Tree — Habits // Shoegaze and Dreampop influenced Doom Metal? Should sound like a mess. Instead, it sounds utterly glorious. 36. Jonsi — Shiver // Sigur Ros main man Jonsi adds IDM and Electronica to his substantial artistic bag of tricks. And its very good indeed. 35. Deadlife — City Of Eternal Rain // Harder edged Synthwave or Retrowave or Darksynth, whatever it is you want to call it. Exceptional Electronica with atmosphere and attitude. 34. Pvris — Use Me // Post Pop Punk with a New Wave vibe filtered through modern Pop and it is a great listen end to end. Lynn Gunn continues to be an inspiration. 33. Lamb Of God — Lamb Of God // Lamb Of God have swung back into action with perhaps their best album. Savage Metal built for the pit. 32. My Dying Bride — The Ghost Of Orion // Come back album from Yorkshire Doom Death overlords. Misery never sounded as heavy, beautiful or as elegant. 31. Anaal Nathrakh — Endarkment // The fury is shocking. So is the melody. So is the epic and expansive production. Superb extreme metal for the end times. 30. Poppy — I Disagree // Disorientating metallic Pop music. The love child of Baby Metal, Brittney Spears and Marilyn Manson. Wonderfully deranged. 29. Killer Be Killed — Reluctant Hero // Metal super group show the world their debut was no accident. Three unique vocals, brilliant riffs and neck snapping rhythms. Stupendous. #BathTimeRecord #AlbumsOfTheYear #AlbumsOf2020 #ElephantTree #Habits #Jonsi #Shiver #Deadlife #CityOfEternalRain #Pvris #UseMe #LambOfGod #MyDyingBride #TheGhostOfOrion #AnaalNathrakh #Endarkment #Poppy #IDisagree #KillerBeKilled #ReluctantHero (at Wakefield) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJS8_38ML2q/?igshid=1l0brh82ivevb

Bath Time Records Albums Of 2020. Part 7. 46. Assemblage 23 — Mourn // Another great collection of songs (and remixes in the expanded version) from Electro Industrial wonder Tom Shear. 45. Dua Lipa — Future Nostalgia // Disco and 80s Electropop influence this modern take on Pop music that has melted my hard metalhead heart. No wonder its sold by the shit ton. 44. Body Count — Carnivore // Ice-T's Metal band continue to be utterly relevant and caustically political in a year when his words have never meant more. 43. Delain — Apocalypse Chill // Surprised me this. Pop tinged Symphonic Metal that just takes the breath away. The riffs are huge and heavy and the vocals are rapturous. 42. The Ocean — Phanerozoic II: Mesozoic // Progressive Post Metal by a band that have reached their creative peak. A stunning example of the genre. 41. Turboslash — Speed // A blast of dayglo neon Synthwave. Perfect for a getaway drive while being pursued by killer robots. 40. The New Division — Hidden Memories // Perfect modern Synthpop. Well crafted and beautifully performed songs. 39. Hayley Williams — Petals For Armour // Hayley Williams comes of age with a brilliant collection of Indie Pop songs. 38. Devin Townsend — Order Of Magnitude: Empath Live Vol 1 // Live document of the Empath Tour 2019. The show was ambitious and so much fun as I can attest to. #BathTimeRecord #AlbumsOfTheYear #AlbumsOf2020 #Assemblage23 #Mourn #DuaLipa #FutureNostalgia #BodyCount #Carnivore #Delain #ApocalypseChill #TheOcean #PhanerozoicIIMesozoic #Turboslash #Speed #TheNewDivision #HiddenMemories #HayleyWilliams #PetalsForArmour #DevinTownsend #OrderOfMagnitudeEmpathLiveVol1 (at Wakefield) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJQj9URMZHW/?igshid=c7ea68xdtbi3

Bath Time Records Albums Of 2020. Part 6. 55. Phoebe Bridges — Punisher // Soft dynamics hide the powerful and deeply emotional songs on offer. Phoebe is a song writing genius, get on board now. 54. Unleash The Archers — Abyss // Progressive Power Metal from one of Canadas best. Their fifth album condenses everything that makes them great and turns it all up to 11. 53. Taylor Swift — Folklore // Pop royalty makes an Indie Pop album, and you know what? It's fucking stunning. 52. Rabbit Junk — Xenospheres // Cyberpunk Industrial mavericks once again show why they are one of the undergrounds best kept secrets. 51.

Collaborations with JPEGMAFIA, Xiu Xiu, Youth Code, Perturbator and 100 Gecs among others show they truly are a forward thinking band. 50. Grimes — Miss Anthropocene // Alternative Art Pop from the genres new figurehead. So many shades of music here. Never anything less than fascinating. 49.

Bath Time Records Albums Of 2020. Part 5. 64. Trivium — What The Dead Men Say // The bands best album since In Waves (maybe ever). Hard and heavy at times but with a modern Thrash melody that begs belief. 63. Myrkur — Folkesange // Warm and cozy Danish folk music that is so simple but so affecting. Shedding the Black Metal elements has worked wonders for Amalie Bruun. 62. The Weeknd — After Hours // The biggest Pop album of the year with the biggest Pop song of the year on it. Inescapable. 61. Jonathan Hulten — Chants From Another Place // Beguiling and beautiful camp fire folk music from a surprising musical source. Gothic Black Metal. Who knew? Beautiful. 60. HMLTD — West Of Eden // Post Punk, Gothic Rock, Indie and alternative music have a love in with the modern kinks of Electronica. Strange but such a good debut album. 59. Nimon — Black Clouds And New Arrivals // My friend Keef Bakers best Ambient album yet. Massive deep lakes of sounds to get lost in. Stunning stuff. 58. Fires In The Distance — Echoes From Deep November // Debut album from US Death Doom band. Damn the riffs and melody on show are great. But it's the use of keys and electronics here that make this special. 57. Emma Ruth Rundle & Thou — May Our Chambers Be Full // Remarkable melancholic tinged Sludge Metal collaboration. 56. The Midnight — Monsters // One of Synthwaves biggest bands continue to make brilliant nostalgic alternative Pop with some excellently crafted tunes. #BathTimeRecord #AlbumsOfTheYear #AlbumsOf2020 #Trivium #WhatTheDeadMenSay #Myrkur #Folkesange #TheWeeknd #AfterHours #JonathanHulten #ChantsFromAnotherPlace #HMLTD #WestOfEden #Nimon #BlackCloudsAndNewArrivals #FiresInTheDistance #EchosFromDeepNovember #EmmaRuthRundle #Thou #MayOurChambersBeFull #TheMidnight #Monster (at Wakefield) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJLaKi3sXfS/?igshid=1gywenlaw0kea
