The year of naughty, wily monkey has been kickstarted already but are most avid music listeners truly prepared for musical surprises of 2016 yet? Whatever the case may be, this thread serves no other purpose than to awaken curiosity and inform about upcoming goodies.
 
Many outlets are available for further inspections:
RYM-approved list 'til February
albumoftheyear w/ new releases
Oricon's indie/major calendar (Imma let you google that one, it has VK too)
MH calendar
etc.
 
Which albums/releases are you looking forward to in 2016? Feel free to mention TBAs too.
 
 
Regarding myself:
 
- METAFIVE's META (just leak already)
- Togawakaidan 20/01
- Tortoise's comeback (kind of) 22/01
- Ulver's new album 22/01
- The High Llamas 22/01
- New Especia 24/02
- Captain Murphy/Flying Lotus
- 385's future

to name a few.
 
Edit: my apologies for bad timing (considering the current events...)!

God damn it... May he rest in peace & wishing him safe travels through the cosmos.

Eu passei um tempo sem PC, mas já voltei.

I was in the mood for some dark & grim stuff, so I did some digging around and catching up in terms of 'black metal 2015'... Some of my findings so far that sounded pretty cool:
 
Odious - Skin Age / Egyptian band playing symphonic black metal with lots of melodic oriental flair... at times a bit too over-the-top with all the extra orchestration, but that's what gives it its special atmosphere I guess. In any case, very much fun to listen to, even for those who are usually not that much into "full-on br00tal" extreme metal.
 
Batushka - Litourgiya / Mysterious Polish group mixing elements of black, doom and post-black metal with the sound of orthodox Slavic (?) liturgies and hymns and stuff. That should already tell you that even if it weren't much musically, the atmosphere would be top-notch, but thankfully everything's in order here. Creepy, ritualistic, majestic - killer record.
 
Au-Dessus - Au-Dessus / This is only an EP (the band's debut release), but a really fine one. The 'experts' say this is post-black metal, well I dunno, but it sure is great. Very nice feel with some melancholic and powerful melodies, and is surprisingly varied (but not wandering out of the usual BM spectrum much). Oh, btw the drum work is excellent! A nice surprise.
 
Non Opus Dei - Diabeł / Solid avantgarde-experimental black metal, actually quite digestable despite being kinda chaotic and dissonant most of the time. They got dat mystical menacing feel on point.

One of my favorite metal artists who I haven't seen mentioned here, A Pregnant Light, just released a new EP a couple weeks back called All Saints Day and it kind of slays. A Pregnant Light is one dude who does some amazing indie experimental metal (often with black metal vibes).
 
Listen to it on his bandcamp.
 
And if you've never heard them, check out my favorite track 'Ringfinger' below to get a taste.
 

downloaded a festival from 2013 where the novembers happened to perform at
and i LOVE this song so i uploaded it eheheh

Some recent bands that kind of have that 90s emo/post-hc/screamo vibe:
 
Balance and Composure
Touche Amore
Piano Becomes the Teeth
 Dikembe          
Modern Baseball
Snowing
Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely State)
Crash of Rhinos
Joie De Vivre
  
Not quite new, but great: This Town Needs Guns. Kind of emo/math-rock, really good band
 
Very underrated band: I Hate Myself. Powerful and painful songs like this one
 
 
This one too

The Get Up Kids were one of my first concerts something like (Jesus I'm old...) 16 years ago. Excited to bring it full circle and see them on their 20th anniversary tour in a few weeks!
 
In addition to Sunny Day Real Estate, that you mentioned, some '90s emo and post-hardcore bands I really like that maybe not everyone knows (videos of my fave tracks spoilered, live vids because of course):
 
Texas is the Reason
 
 
Indian Summer
 
 
Quicksand
 
 
Glassjaw
 
 
Cirlce Takes the Square
 
 
Ok, I'm done.

no, i dont mean emo as in my chemical romance, tokio hotel, post-hardcore as in a day to remember or screamo as in bring me the horizon, alesana. for the sake of this thread, exclude those types of bands because im sure there are other threads dedicated to them and their respective genres.
im currently obsessed with thursday, mineral, funeral diner, the appleseed cast, daitro, city of caterpillar, christie front drive, envy, sunny day real estate, american football, empire! empire!, gospel, pianos become the teeth, suis la lune, touche amore
comment below with any of ur current favs within the genre, if there's an awesome underground bandcamp band you'd like to share with the rest of us and recommend+ask for recommendations!

The 2nd coming of creepy culty space Jesus is here~
 


 
Can't wait for January 8~

GODDAMN SHUFFLE
NOW IM A SAD POTATO

I don't really like this drawing anymore but whatever haha.  A possible Ryutarou fanart maybe? I don't know, I just really like drawing his hairstyle.
 

花眼、shed a tear for growth.

More stuff!
 

A fanart of The Evil Within and one of my favorite antagonists.
 

Original drawing.

Okay, time for me to post this up.  I recently found my drawing motivation back so I decided to show it around here. Stuff I post here will mainly come from my tumblr.  I also have a deviantArt which includes more of my serious projects, so check it out if you'd like!
 

Here's a drawing I drew today to start off.
 
And a couple others.

I was sort of inspired by Tsuzuku while drawing this. : 3
 

 
Thanks for looking!
I hope I can draw more soon~

Full Song from Nack 5!! HQ QUALITY!!!!!
