TMR’S Best Of 2020!

2020 has been insanely horrible for the whole world and a lot of people, well basically everyone. Who are we kidding? Our beloved music industry has suffered as a whole most notably smaller bands and labels, let alone larger more notable bands. Live streaming that was once a novelty has now been a form of income in a year heavily impacted by a disease that shall not be mentioned. Internal Bleeding has a stream coming up this Saturday, Imperial Triumphant, Behemoth, The Black Dahlia Murder, Leprous with Ishahn (Emperor), Between The Buried & Me, Trivium and a ton of other acts have done some sort of live stream for some sort of monetary value this year. Sure, they’re definitely not the same thing as a live show but its the closest we are getting to one right now. Beggers can’t be choosers, and is unfortunately going to carry into some time of next year in 2021 as well.

This year has been unusually fruitful for myself. Without getting too specific and personal this shitshow of a year has been grateful to me in the following ways:

Now onto the one bad thing that I’m doing is well, this article. Last year’s 2019 article I scheduled for New Year’s Eve and updated my lists and was able to modify it adding what I enjoyed from last year. It got so busy that I didn’t find enough time as you’ve seen with the website’s production. I’m talking 6 days a week, 60ish hours voluntary Saturday or Sunday to deal with the increased food supply demands during the year. As a result you can see the website has flickered on and off this year, leaving me with little time to organize the TMR year end article. And because we’re cooler than most music websites, I wait until the last day of the year. Why? Because a ton of music is released every year including the month of December! A lot of websites post their favorites of the year in NOVEMBER! So just fuck December right? No, we’re that cool here. Anyways I apologize for the lack of effort in comparison to last year’s expansive article. I’m just going to post a list of any release (full length, EP or a single).

And before I compose the aforementioned list, I will repeat THERE IS NO ORDER. Nobody ever pays attention to this huge note, maybe they will this year because its next to an image? THERE. IS. NO. ORDER! Don’t go claiming you were #1 on our list because your band happened to be the first slot or the twelfth or whatever position it happens to be in. I’m just making a list of releases I really liked with NO SPECIFIC ORDER! Take that into account, please. Now, onto the oversized list of music from 2020. Maybe the only order in this list is ALPHABETICAL! You will see that from the get go as I’m just making the list browsing my music library of 2020 releases. There is also a good chance I might forget something so sound off in the comments section here or somewhere on social media barking at me maybe I’ll make an edit if need be! Enjoy my obscene list!

I will however crown the worst release of 2020 and definitely the decade to….

Six Feet Under- Nightmares Of The Decomposed

For obvious reasons.

What did I say? That’s one hell of a list! There’s quite a diverse list and a unfortunately plenty I didn’t cover but still enjoyed. There’s definitely something in there for everyone and hopefully some artist(s) you haven’t heard of or a release you did not know came out! But I will admit that Wormhole album burned a lot of fucking minutes for myself this year.

Sound off somewhere in the comments if I missed anything because there was a lot of stellar music released in 2020 despite obvious circumstances. I will admit Imperial Triumphant’s Alphaville was definitely my favorite artwork of 2020 hands down. What a beautiful and extremely detailed album cover!
