There were a number of great debuts, many of which came from bands whose name begins with “I”, as well as some next-level efforts from bands whose promise showed hints of brilliance in past years. Though 2019 didn’t broadcast a lot of obvious ringers from the get-go (save for a few, like Baroness or Inter Arma, what happened instead was a lot of underdog entries from bands whose best work we might not have seen coming. So what was left? A lot, as it turns out.
As a recap, we had the first new Sleep album in 15 years, a new Deafheaven album, a new Yob album, no less than five Thou releases, a quadruple album (sort of) from Panopticon, and a new Judas Priest album.
In hindsight, 2018 was a pretty eventful year for metal, so much so that the harvest this time year very nearly seemed to leave the ground barren.
