took a bit for me to get into, but when "Kick" (the first preview single of this album) "kicked in" i was finally caught. And it didn't stop until the end of the album, even "Losers, Pt.2" (which i was a bit disappointed about when i heard it first) is great! just start the album and set it to repeat... ^^
Envy - The Fallen Crimson

is there any way this could *not* be listed as aotw?!? finest post-hardcore/-metal/-rock, with sparkles of punk, dreampop and whatnot. This will take a few runs to sink in. So, basically: just as expected ^^
Giver - Sculpture Of Violence

Modern/metallic post hardcore from cologne (mostly ^^). Fantastic stuff! I already liked the preview songs very much, and the full album still manages to exceeed my expectations! Just "wow!" for now... ;-)
Older Releases:
Tequila & The Sunrise Gang - Of Pals & Hearts

This one's already a bit "old" (2018) but i just recently discovered them. And now that i finally listended to the full Album i'm astonished! Basically Skapunk/Reggae but soo far from being limited to these styles. Some parts remind of the Bosstones, others of Sublime, a "Polka" part can also be found and hell, there's even a RATM-style part! A new album is announced for this year and after listening to this one i'm already really excited!
Also worth mentioning:
2020Releases:
Green Day - Father of All Motherfuckers
https://www.visions.de/platten/28938/green-day-father-of-all-motherfuckers
https://krachfink.de/green-day-father-of-all-review/
listen:

Interesting: when i listened to this album first i was astonished about the hit density and a few days later i'm nearly back to "hmm, okay, just another Green Day Album i don't really care about!". I guess i need to be really in the mood for this kind of pop-punk, and also need to (kind of ^^) "suppress" all the stuff that the name "Green Day" already implies (and probably remove the Label "Punk" completely?!?). Nevertheless, the song writing is still pretty good, these guys definitely know what they're doing!
Blutbad - Alcohodyssey

Hard to describe as each song is different stilisticly. Definitely roots in Rock'n'Roll, Punk, Heavy-/Stoner Rock...! Great stuff!
The Hellfreaks - God On The Run

Punk Rock / Modern Hard Rock / Psychobilly (assigned genres i found, in descending order from my pov) from Hungary.
Very nice straight forward, sometimes a bit poppy, i like it!
Barrels - s/t
https://www.awayfromlife.com/barrels-s-t-review-2020/
listen:
https://barrels1.bandcamp.com/album/s-t
AFL describes this simply as "Rock", which is correct somehow but on the other hand - what is *not* Rock when it's posted here ^^?!? So i rather go with the self descripition: "mix of noise, punk, hardcore, emo, and indie", which hits it quite well. 5 Track EP, approx. 30 minutes. I especially like the two songs i knew before, so there's much potential!
Oiro - Mahnstufe X
https://www.awayfromlife.com/oiro-mahnstufe-x-review-2020/
https://krachfink.de/oiro-mahnstufe-x-review/
listen:
https://oiro.bandcamp.com/album/mahnstufe-x
(A bit) wavy Postpunk meets Indie from Düsseldorf! Couldn't focus much on the lyrics, so this aspect needs to be left out mostly. Musically also pretty diverse, although mostly slow/midtempo. Definitely worth your time!
HABITAR LA MAR - Comedia Yoica
listen:
https://habitarlamar.bandcamp.com/album/comedia-yoica
Spanish post-hardcore. a little "darker"/noisy than e.g. Viva Belgrado. Heavy stuff!
Older Releases:
BRUECKEN - Schall und Raum

Atmospheric postrock from oldenburg. Great stuff!
