Artists I Listened to This Year - 2025

Originally posted January 6th, 2026

This is a new one! For the first time, this yearly review is posted exclusively HERE! For political reasons, I decided to not use FaceBook, Twitter, or Instagram. So this is the next best place for me to scream into the void. Anyway, without further ado...

The Top 5 Artists I've Listened to in 2025:
(In a generally ranked order, kind of, sort of)
1) deathdotgov
2) Ink & Dagger
3) Mr. Bungle
4) seeyouspacecowboy...
5) Gatherers

Instead of Honorable Mentions, I am going to start a list of...
Albums I Keep Going Back To:
Diamond Eyes (2010) by Deftones
deathdotcom (2025) by deathdotgov
" ( mutilator. ) " (2022) by Gatherers
Wake (2014) by Hail The Sun
God Does Like Ugly (2025) by J.I.D.
Juturna (2005) by Circa Survive
Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party (2025) by Hayley Williams

I definitely went down a more Rock and Post-Hardcore rabbithole this year, but I'm sure there will be PLENTY of new stuff in the coming year!
