Best post-metal songs of the 2020s

It opened with nobody able to tour, so records got finished in bedrooms and discovery moved to a feed. Drill turned up in every city with a postcode, and Afrobeats and Latin pop went mainstream worldwide without waiting to be translated.

One great song, one bad album

Tracks carry their own ratings here, so a record you would never play front to back can still have a song worth defending.
