When it comes to 'Modern Metal', there was a lot to look forward this year from bands I love - new albums from ERRA, Spiritbox, and Jinjer, for example, and these were all great.

But my favourite album this year has to be 'The Uncanny Valley'.

I stumbled upon the intro track to this album from a band I've never heard of on youtube, listened to the whole thing and I love it so much. The first few notes of this album still manage to get me into another headspace and excited for what's to come.
