2024 Metal Academy Awards Discussion - The Pit Edition

It's that time of year again i.e. the time when we start to think about which releases will be crowned as the pinnacle of their clans for the previous calendar year. I've opened this thread to house the discussions around our The Pit Clan Release of the 2024.

These are the 2024 releases that have gained the most attention from our members:

Dissimulator - "Lower Form Resistance"

Sovereign - "Altered Realities"

Critical Defiance - "The Search Won't Fall..."

Cavalera - "Schizophrenia"

Hemotoxin - "When Time Becomes Loss"

What other releases should our members be checking out?

Critical Defiance are my year end favoirites in The Pit and Sovereign were good too. 

Pentagram Chile had a decent album out and Vulture's "Sentinels" was an enjoyable slab of speedy thrash.

I would suggest Mayhemic's "Toba" - only discovered it yesterday mind thanks to Sonny, but it is superb blackened thrash metal.

I would second that pick. I had forgotten about it because I haven't rated it yet.

Of the releases I've completed a full review for, the Hemotoxin record is currently in front followed by Cavalera's "Schizophrenia" & the Critical Defiance album. I haven't spent enough time with Mayhemic's "Toba" to fully understand where it should sit as yet but intend on changing that this month.
