Bring Me the Horizon (This is some heavy shit right here) 5. Panic! at the Disco (Even though the band already disbanded) I still like Bad Omens & We Came as Romans though We Came as Romas was the first Post-Hardcore band that I knew.

[@ZorinNephalemz]

My top 5 were 1. I See Stars (got into them in September and loved their New Demons/Treehouse stuff so had them on repeat for like 4 months) 2. Sleep Token (Been listening since the summoning in January and did heavily in June because I listen to them when I'm driving and I went on a lot of trips) 3. Starset (They are just my favorite band in general, got a very sentimental bond to them) 4. Currents (Currents just slaps, loved their new album this year and the album beforehand) 5. Bad Omens (Had their first album on repeat a lot and i had a concert prep playlist because i was going to go see them with ERRA and ISS but i couldn't make it sadly) Then i was also in the top for The Browning, Electric Callboy, Attack Attack (sorry i really love Electronicore), Make Them Suffer, Wage War and a bunch of others. I had like 73.9k minutes listened, i was in the top for way too many bands lol Also I think the reason Termina didnt get a lot because that album didnt drop till like end of September so it only had like 2 months, because that album definitely is a banger.

[@trs5127]

Had Starset at #2 after Soilwork for mine, love them, Transmissions and Vessels are my favourite albums of pretty much all time. Good taste 🫂

[@enricopaoletti5650]

You just deserve a like for listening Starset. Good boy ❤️

[@scifiordie]

So you dont actually like metal

[@ZorinNephalemz]

@@scifiordie I most definitely do. I don't know where you got that assumption from. Although some people argue Metalcore isn't metal. As that is my main genre, along with Alternative Metal. And yes most mainline Metal bands are Alt Metal, those being FFDP, Disturbed, A7X, even Slipknot, etc. I just listen to more Metalcore. And if you have a problem with Starset then I advise you listen to Bringing It Down, Telekentic (Although you could argue this during the Verses), Manifest, and Devolution as those are definitely metal.

[@ZorinNephalemz]

@@trs5127 Yeah I'm excited for their next album as Dustin has confirmed they are going back to more of a Transmissions sound. I hope they do some heavier stuff too, I want them to experiment with Electronicore as I think they can pull it off very well.

You should be proud bro, you put out some damn good music this year, that I'll keep playing. Some really incredible collabs, too. Congrats!

Jinjer (because who doesn't like Tatiana's growls, plus of course everyone else in the band) 3. Epica ( yes I know symphonic metal isnt liked but a lot of people but they definitely have their heavy side with Mark's growls) 4. Alter Bridge ( no they are not Creed 2.0 they are so much more) 5. The Warning (im guessing a lot of people watching Nik's channel dont know them but they are a proper rock band from Mexico)

To better explain it: Termina is your band, and it's metalcore in a very cool... but already-existed kind of way. Deathphonk was something most people had never heard in the way you made it. You made, ostensibly, something NEW. And it was a blending of a mainstream-popular genre with metal, and while it's not going to get the same attention as mainstream stuff (because the metal is mixed in), it's more exciting to hear something refreshingly new and still heavy and cool...
