Every year is different, and the 2025 year-end poll was a reminder of that. Styles develop over time, bands age out and new ones come in. I look at this results and it feels transitional, but to some degree or other, doesn’t it always? Even when there’s a clear winner from day one — and it was about day three this year; last year as I recall was tighter among the top results; it varies — we see over time the development of styles, the ebbs and flows of trend, and the rise and fall of fortunes.

Thank you to the over 255 people who took part in this year’s poll. The elephant in the room for me is that that number is down from past years, but The Obelisk didn’t have a Facebook page for half of December, so promoting was more difficult than it’s been. Hard to put things in front of eyes, though I still managed. Thanks as well to Blues Funeral Recordings, Howling Giant, Black Moon Cult and others who also shared the link around and helped to promote. That is always greatly appreciated.

As I have many, many times over, here are the rules cut and pasted. They don’t change:

Anything from Jan. 2025 to whatever’s coming out between now and Dec. 31 is eligible. If something is out digitally now and physical later and you want to include it, do. Two lists are tabulated; one of the raw votes, and one in which a 1-4 ranking is worth five points, 5-8 worth four, 9-12 worth three, 13-16 worth two and 17-20 worth one.

Got it? Cool. Let’s jump in.

Top 20 of 2025 — Weighted Results

1. Howling Giant, Crucible & Ruin (380 points)
2. Kal-El, Astral Voyager Vol. 1 (314)
3. Messa, The Spin (242)
4. Khan, That Fair and Warlike Form/Return to Dust (205)

8. Lo-Pan, Get Well Soon (127)
9. Stoned Jesus, Songs to Sun (123)
10. Year of the Cobra, Year of the Cobra (121)

17. Bask, The Turning (88)
17. Faetooth, Labyrinthine (88)
18. Witchcraft, Idag (86)
19. Kryptograf, Kryptonomicon (82)
20. Kaiser, 2nd Sound (77)

Honorable Mention:

The next 10: Kadavar (I Just Want to Be a Sound), Paradise Lost, Margarita Witch Cult, Rwake, Godzillionaire, Slomatics, Psychonaut, Bone Church, Borracho, Yawning Man.

Notes:

I’m not mad about it. I’m not surprised to see Messa and Castle Rat feature prominently here, and I’m not surprised that Howling Giant came out on top. Obviously that’s one I agree with. Kal-El had a strong showing, arguing in favor of accessibility and largesse in heavy rock, and Khan making their presence felt seems appropriate here, pushing the style of progressive heavy rock forward as they are.

Some reliable veteran names in Elder, Lo-Pan, Stoned Jesus, Conan, Pelican, Witchcraft, Bask, and Year of the Cobra, and some upstarts in Black Moon Cult, Kryptograf, Kaiser, Maha Sohona and the aforementioned Messa and Castle Rat, I was glad to see Temple Fang show up big, kind of surprised Witchcraft didn’t get more love, but I guess time marches on. There’s a lot here to like, and accordingly, I like a lot of it. If you were to use this as a listening guide, one way or the other, your life would be improved.

Now to the raw votes.

Notes:

First of all, no honorable mentions for a top 20 that has more than 30 entries on it. Let’s be reasonable.

Not a ton of surprises here after the weighted results above, but some interesting shuffling of place in the top 10, with Year of the Cobra faring better on the vote tally than the points, and Khan and Temple Fang tying here. Given Khan’s proggy expanse and Temple Fang’s longform meditative serenity, I imagine them in league, like, “same team” for dudes pushing heavy forward. As will happen, there were more ties this time around, Khan and Temple Fang being the first, and I wanted to include those too since, I don’t know, it seemed fair and when you believe in things like basic process transparency you end up making a list that includes its own honorable mentions. I do, anyhow.

I am not unaware that someone voted for Black Moon Cult 20 or however many times, and it’s not that I don’t care, it’s that I know that the people who read this site are intelligent enough to look at what they see with a critical eye. I count the votes as they come in, and as I’ve said in years past, I respect the hustle. If someone else’s work means enough to you to vote for it 20 times, the least I can do is honor that. If it’s someone from the band willing to put themselves out there when all the lists are published, well, isn’t that also something to honor? “I wish I was old enough to feel ways about stuff,” as Fry once said.

Bottom line, it’s a good list, and years from now when I look back at it (and yes, I assume I’m the only person who will), I’ll be glad for the shape it took in representing 2025 in underground heavy, and I guarantee you I’ll still be discovering things from all the lists included below. Because it’s infinite, so far as my feeble people-brain can process, and every year brings more than you could ever hope to enjoy in such a limited amount of time.

The same is true of life, at least in some ways.

It’s 2026 now, so we leave 2025 behind what feels like not a moment too soon in order to face the same terrible and stupid times, just with a different number attached. The happy news is the music is good, which is fortunate because if the last 12 months were anything to judge by, it’s going to need to be.

I leave you with everybody’s list. Note I forgot to include my own. Literally didn’t think of it until after the poll was closed. Idiota vagyok, one might say in Hungarian.

Always next year I guess.

Thanks for reading and click/push ‘read more’ to enjoy the lists.
