These are the EPs I enjoyed most throughout 2020. There’s another post for full albums. Zeal & Ardor - Wake of a Nation Protests in support of Black Lives Matter were one of the defining moments of 2020. Zeal & Ardor dropped this bombshell of an EP in October. Experimental gospel-infused post-black metal explores racial justice and the plight of BIPOC in the United States. This album is heavy.
