MY TOP LIST OF SEPTEMBER 2024

Image
Here comes the flood again. Drowning. Erasing everything on its way. Ladies and gentlemen, the release schedule is at its finest. September 2024 was crazy, literally in every aspect - personal and musical. This time I decided to make this list a little bit different. Because, why not? September was all about black metal. So many black metal releases were out in the past month. Some of them quickly won my heart. That's why I split this list into two parts - The Black Metal of 2024 and The Other of September 2024. It is not that one is superior to the other, but it is more excessive. I know it is exhausting and it looks quite unprofessional not to manage everything in one whole list, but then I was going to land with a very very long list this time.  By the way, did I mention, that I listened to many of klassiks again, being tired of the flood?  I am going to start with my biggest disappointment - the new Unto Others album. It is nowhere as good as their previous works. Soulless, pla

MY TOP 15 OF AUGUST 2024

Image
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. NILE - The Under

MY TOP LIST OF JULY 2024

Image
July 2024 included my birthday and another year in my life is now gone. Here I talk about music though, so my quick verdict for the release schedule of the past month is simple - a weak month. A weak summer month in terms of quality and quantity. In fact the month featured not many releases indeed and thanks god. I always talk about the neverending pile of new albums every month, and I felt better in July. It was easier for me to find the grain from the chaff.  Somehow I made a decent selection of top 20 July releases below, but how many of these will stay - I really don't know. Some good UG stuff and I encourage you to check these 20 albums. These are my top choices, the good albums for the weak month of their release. No clear winner as "album of the month" in this list, and this says enough too.  Enjoy!

MY TOP LIST OF JUNE 2024

Image
Half of 2024 is gone! It is flooded with new releases and they just keep coming. Quality? Well, this is the tricky part... We listen and listen, trying to catch up with everything worthy, but then the worthiness criteria are getting lower and lower. The praise for mediocre albums is wild nowadays, to be honest.  June was a good month overall. One album clearly stood over the rest though. One album that destroys everything and will be very high on my AOTY list.

MY TOP LIST OF MAY 2024

Image
This is a delayed post, but I hate when the last day of the month is Friday and there are 975263419130 new releases again. I had to be sure that I had caught everything. With this busy release schedule and tons of new albums daily, the chance not to miss is minimal.

MY TOP LIST OF APRIL 2024

Image
April 2024 was the same as all other previous months. There were plenty of new releases every week.  The list below features 25 of them and then some honorable mentions.  I don't have а clear favorite for the Album of the Month award. Probably the below ones are the least tasteless ones released this April that I liked among all... 😂😂😂 Anyway, I'll keep it very short this time. I have little to add here. So check my list, and listen to the klassiks. That's it. INTER ARMA - New Heaven Release Date: 26 April Bandcamp ATRÆ BILIS - Aumicide Release Date: 19 April Bandcamp DVNE - Voidkind Release Date: 19 April Bandcamp REPLICANT - Infinite Mortality  Release Date: 12 April Bandcamp KVADRAT - The Horrible Dissonance of Oblivion Release Date: 4 April Bandcamp SELBST - Despondency Chord Progressions Release Date: 19 April Bandcamp BLAZE OF PERDITION - Upharsin Release Date: 19 April Bandcamp FUNERAL LEECH - The Illusion of Time Release Date: 5 April Bandcamp MY DYING BRIDE - A
