MY TOP 15 OF AUGUST 2024

Overall, August was a weak month, and I am so at peace with that. The release schedule was in the normal levels in terms of quantity. The quality was low, with a handful of decent albums. However, I don't expect even some of the best August releases which I listed below, to stay in time or turn into klassiks. 

I gathered 15 pieces to include in the final monthly list, in no particular order. For me, these were the finest August releases. Once again I don't have a clear favourite album of the month. It all depends on the mood, I guess. I must share that the new music doesn't matter much to me nowadays. I am not very excited about it. It just makes me return to the klassiks more and more, finding peace and soothing my soul there. Probably because it was another busy month, I was swamped again, and the music from my past gave me emotions and strength. Yes, it does.

OK, another month is gone, and another list with monthly releases is done. ✅ 
Let's move on.

COUNT VLAD'S AOTY LIST OF 2023

Image
  The pretentious mainstream hipster elitist poser's AOTY list of 2023 is here. The ultimate list that makes them all lists. My favorite releases of the year 2023. It features everything that I enjoyed the most throughout this already-dead and-gone year.  When I was preparing this list I looked into all my notes, went through all the monthly lists that I published here and revisited quite a lot of albums. And I must admit that basically, everyone could have a spot in the AOTY lists. It has been a really crazy year - an enormous amount of releases, thousands of bands, and very good albums shortlisted. Literally, almost every band on Earth put out a new album! I already published My Top 50 Death Metal Albums of 2023 and My Top 50 Black Metal Albums of 2023 . Of course, there are some omissions, I realize this. The good news is that I can return to my monthly selections anytime and revisit the good ones. Every time I find a forgotten gem there. You should do the same.  While preparin

MY TOP 20 OF JANUARY 2024

Image
The new year started with a kick in the ass. It's like 2023 never existed or everything merges in one big whole. The time is merciless. It is already the end of January and it is that time again when I usually post my favorite new releases of the respective month. January'24 could have been more inspiring, or after THAT 2023, now everything seems weaker? I do believe a lot of the below-listed albums are going to drown and I won't return much to them in the year. Still, few are going to be on my AOTY list.  What else? We have to be very grateful that in 2024 we have Saxon at full speed and they are releasing this good album. Naturally, it is my album of the month, closely followed by some very good UG releases. If you know, you know. If not, just check them and who's behind. I wanted to make the list with 20+1 albums so I didn't include a few more that I liked, but so what? They won't be missed dearly. Then, I believe if we look only at this point in time, withou
