15 Best Metal Albums Of 2019

by Andy H Murray

1. Blood Incantation - Hidden History Of The Human Race

No band is doing more to push death metal beyond its outer limits than Blood Incantation, whose Hidden History of the Human Race represents a leap forward not only for their core sound, but the genre as a whole. Make no mistake, this is destined to become a landmark release as time passes.

Hidden History takes 2016's Starspawn's cosmic hellscapes forward with technique, imagination, and monstrous analog production. Furious Morbid Angel-style riffage melds with expansive psychedelia and genuine invention. It reveals a band fearless in their creativity, and it's so rich in detail that it demands your undivided attention throughout, as new intricacies reveal themselves with every passing listen.
