I think Believer‘s “Sanity Obscure” is a good metal album. Thrashy, technical, and willing to experiment.
While the band has had their ups and downs (and it seems recently a member has been dealing with serious health issues, which has put the band in an understandable limbo for a while), they’re still marching on.

And besides… how can I not love a band where the drummer shares in my obscure last name? 😉
