Awesome list as always! Concerning the opening though, I think the (relative) popularity of Deafheaven with the indie mainstream may be a good counterpoint to Philly Byrne. I know some people question their "metalness", but it's not like anybody is going to confuse Lemmy's music with Burzum either.
Maybe it's because I missed all of the interviews/pre-release hype, but I'm loving this. What it lacks in innovation it more than makes up for in execution.
If this is an omen for the year to come, I'm already a big fan of 2016.
