    Jal was synonymous with Urdu rock throughout my youth. Looking back, the lyrics feel melodramatic, yet there's no denying the brilliance of their vocal work that seamlessly blends rock and traditional elements.

  7. Leprous

    Leprous captures my perfect metal aesthetic. Long atmospheric build-ups, thoughtful dynamics where silence and volume serve the song rather than genre expectations, and drum patterns that groove while remaining completely unheadbangable.

    2. Out of Here
    3. Moon
    4. Below

  9. Thank You Scientist

    An old bassist friend of mine introduced me to Thank You Scientist through live recordings of FXMLDR and Mr. Invisible. The unpredictability had blown my circuits. What was next? Saxophone solos? Lithophones? Goats?

  11. Joe Satriani

    I found Joe through a curious coincidence. During Android 4.0+'s rise, someone ported Sony/Ericsson's excellent music player to all Android phones and posted it on XDA Forums. The demo screenshots featured The Extremist's cover art with "Cryin'" playing. Joe's guitar work caught my attention, though I didn't explore much of his music.

  15. Adrianne Lenker

    It's all so simple, yet you carry such sadness, Adrianne, and somehow you make me feel it too. She writes with unflinching honesty and crafts dissonant soundscapes with technical guitar parts.

  16. Sleep Token

    Growing older, I've grown less focused on lyrics in music. Sleep Token's lyricism doesn't resonate with me, but their unparalleled fusion of metal, rap, dance, and hip-hop sets them apart from any band I know.
