MY TOP 20 FOR MARCH 2022

March 2022 was a very solid month. Tons of new releases, and at least 25 very good albums. I feel many of them will stay longer with me and will land on my AOTY list. I found a good time with these.

Below I give you my selection of the finest albums of March - in total 25 incl mandatory honorable mentions. This could easily be a Top 25 actually... The list is in no particular order, but I have some albums that I prefer over others.

By the way, have I told you how I hate Blogger? Yes, I know I complain every time and I do nothing on the matter...

Naturally, I couldn't listen to everything that was out, and I still have some albums that are on my to-do list. Probably I have omitted something, but an early warning - the list below does not include some of those "everyone's favorites". I'd love to know your list and what do you think I missed out here and why?

So here it is my March 2022 selection without any comments on each album, because I don't feel motivated to write. I just listen and feel and experience the music. You do the same!

MY TOP LIST OF FEBRUARY 2025

Image
February 2025 was a solid month. I listened to many new albums and the selection below only proves there were good ones. A 30-album selection is not happening very often most recently, especially in times of constant flood of new records (of mediocrity).  I tried to make a split in the selection, and there is a kind of top 20 and then another 10 very special mentions. Anyway, it could all be taken as one whole pile of stuff to be checked for those who haven't yet. All these are good and enjoyable albums that differ from the pedestrian release schedule that happens every Friday or every day of the week.  And I keep buying a lot of records, new albums or klassiks, my collection grows and grows. There is one clear album of the month for me. HANGMAN'S CHAIR's Saddiction took all the bells and whistles in February 2025. Soooo good, so melancholic, and so drowning into sadness. Then follows the rest, and the list here is somehow in a particular order this time. As I mentioned abo...

COUNT VLAD'S TOP 60 BLACK METAL ALBUMS OF 2025

  <growl turning into shriek, drowning and fading away into the void of lonely frozen stars, lightning through the majesty of the night sky above the mighty black forest>:  BLACK METAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLL..... Ahhhh, the black metal list! The genre that polarizes the masses, divides them, and is the most diverse of all genres. 2025 was a good year for black metal. There has been a return to the roots after a few years of rainbow Instagram BM posing recorded in the bedrooms...  Another hectic year for the genre, as well as for music in general (However, I will save this rant for my AOTY list). I could probably include 666 albums easily due to the enormous release schedule, but I shortlisted 94 only from these numerous black metal records released in 2025. Then I selected the final 50. Then I decided to make them 60 at least, or 66, or whatever. So here you are, 60+3 below. The ones that grabbed most of my attention during this already dead and gone year. Then the countle...

COUNT VLAD'S TOP 50 DEATH METAL ALBUMS OF 2025

Image
  It is that time of the year and I am kicking off with my TOP 50 DEATH METAL ALBUMS OF 2025. It's been quite a flooding year of releases, and some top-notch death metal albums are worthy of talking about. ...And listening on repeat, of course.  The list below could easily include 100 labums, but I drew the line once again, as beyond 50th position, it is all the same. More importantly, the list turned out to be a bit of a mixed bag this time. It is because I listened to some (sexy) melo-death and I put everything in. Without surprises, or surprisingly even for me, Omnium Gatherum's May The Bridges We Burn Light The Way  is at the top position here, followed by some real death metal albums... I know how it looks, but don't throw stones, though. It was a very addictive album, dynamic, with plenty of sing-alongs, without being way too cheesy for me.  So if you can trust someone whose No.1 in a Death Metal AOTY list is Omnium Gatherum, please keep reading. Gruesome album...
