I'm absolutely in awe of how terrible this looks. It feels like a joke from South Park or Robot Chicken, except somehow it's actually real, and they managed to actually get a bunch of big name celebrities.

Loved the new episode of Pluribus. More than anything else, it gave me some strong Last Man On Earth vibes.

12- Buried Realm - The Dormant Darkness / The Halo Effect - March Of The Unheard
This year saw a lot of good melodic death metal, but these two albums stood out to me because of the involvement of some titans of the melodeath scene.

I was on vacation, listening to this album and thinking, you know what? I fucking love talking about music, and I love revisiting my favorite albums. Maybe I should combine these things. And here we are.
