Jazmin L'Amy's Favourite Releases of 2021

Beyond Extinction - The Fatal Flaws of Humankind EP
Breathing new life into the term ‘death’ metal.

Iron Maiden - Senjutsu
Old Gods never die, Senjutsu proves just that. Also my dad just got this Eddie tattooed on him, and it's mega making me crave my Iron Maiden tattoo.

The Pretty Reckless - Death by Rock N’ Roll
“On my tombstone when I go, just put ‘Death By Rock N’ Roll’. Love it. Stealing it for my own tombstone.

Insurgent - Sentient
There’s a reason this EP is called Sentient, because that’s the aura this band give off with their command through their music.

A Pale Horse Named Death - Infernum In Terra
Close your eyes and be transported to an apocalyptic wasteland, embers still flickering across the sky and ash clinging to the fibres of your clothing.

Bo Burnham - Inside (The Songs) Soundtrack
I CAN’T GET THESE SONGS OUT OF MY HEAD, PLEASE MAKE IT STOP.

Bullet for my Valentine - Bullet for my Valentine
Sometimes all you need is to scream into a pillow and curse every tiny little negative thing, and as Bullet for my Valentine finally repent , their self-titled record is the soundtrack to do just that to.

Florence Black - Weight of the World
Heavy and thick production values weigh this record down with such force it gives the gravity on Jupiter a run for it’s money.

Tremonti - Marching in Time
Bringing the bulk of the heaviness to his main band Alter Bridge, Tremonti’s solo records are a playground of solos, chugging riffs, and squealing harmonics.

Lilith Czar - Created From Filth and Dust
Rebirth is underrated, and Lilith Czar channels every feminine struggle into the lyric “if it’s a man’s world, then I want to be King.”
