Sunn O))) & Ulver come together for a collaborative album whose recording process has been ongoing since 2008. Despite the short length of this thing, Terrestrials shows a balanced fusion of each artist’s sound.

Step Brothers’ Lord Steppington is a great mixed bag of chill flows set against b-a-n-g-i-n-g beats. Even the more subdued instrumentals bring heat. While some tracks pale in comparison to others, there’s a lot to love here.

Polish metal outfit Behemoth releases one of its best albums in years with the Satanist. It’s powerful, immense, and twisted. Oh, and sorta catchy, too.

After two electrifying tapes, Scotland’s Young Fathers come through with a huge sound on this latest album of theirs, Dead. I’m not as crazy about the songs, though.
