MY TOP 10 FOR JULY 2018

WOW! 7 months already gone from 2018! It is really an inexorable time. And on top I turned 40 in July.
Actually July wasn't that much intense of many releases, but still there were few which got me solidly. So here they are - my top choices from the released in July albums, in no particular order. With really tiny descriptions this time.


KHÔRADA - Salt
Release date: 20 July

 Post-metal of different level. Atmospheric, progressive, sad. This is amazing.
SPACESLUG - EYE THE TIDE
Release Date: 20 July

 Absolutely magnificent Kozmic Doom - gloomy, melancholic, trippy. Use your imagination...
THE LION'S DAUGHTER - FUTURE CULT
Release Date: 20 July

 What a release! Black, sludge, progressive. Top-notch new album by TLD.
OBSCURA - DILUVIUM
Release Date: 13 July

 You all know what it is.

 High quality cavernous death/doom. Only 3 songs. Unfortunately.
1968 - BALLADS OF THE GODLESS
Release date: 6 July

 Even the artworks says it all. Stoner. 70s. Beautiful
DEE SNIDER - FOR THE LOVE OF METAL
Release Date: 27 July

 Indeed - for the love of Metal. Class! Legend! Real heavy metal!!!
COLDWORLD - NOSTALGIA EP
Release Date: 23 July 

 Black metal how it should be. Raw. 90s.
SEAR BLISS - LETTERS FROM THE EDGE
Release Date: 6 July

 Black metal. Stranded, estranged. Trombone. Lonely.
BURY TOMORROW - BLACK FLAME
Release Date: 13 July 

Awesome surprise! Awesome!
Really, very very catchy and enjoyable album!
SKELETONWITCH - DEVOURING RADIANT LIGHT
Release Date: 13 July
Skeletonwitch in top shape after 5 years of silence! Melodic BM nuances prevail?!









Did I miss something else great? For sure...

MY TOP 50 BLACK METAL ALBUMS OF 2024

Image
  It is again that time of the year when we reflect back and prepare the AOTY lists. As usual, I have a Black Metal Top List, Death Metal Top List, and AOTY List of course. And here we go! Here's MY TOP 50 BLACK METAL ALBUMS OF 2024 list - the black metal albums I liked the most, made the best impression, and spent the most time with. Probably this list is too unkvlt, to pretentious, too colorful or contains equally some mainstream hipster albums along with some UG ones. So what?! Did I like the albums? Yes. Are they good? Yes.  In fact, there are 51 names there, starting from 0 because, above all the 2024 releases, there is a release that was recorded live in 2015 and represents a 1999 album. Technically it’s not a new album. However Marduk's Beast of Prey is the most intense and tight thing you can hear in 2024, not only in the black metal sphere. After that comes the whole list with 50 new releases, so in total 51 albums are present there. I can fairly say that Paysage d’Hi...

MY TOP 20 OF JANUARY 2024

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...

MY TOP 50 DEATH METAL ALBUMS OF 2024

I already published  MY TOP 50 BLACK METAL ALBUMS OF 2024 , so here comes the DEATH METAL of 2024! Death Metal did OK in 2024, with some really impressive releases! Now I take the opportunity to present what I listened to the most, what made me the best impression, and what I spent most time with during this already gone worthless year.  After careful consideration, ULCERATE's cutting throats album took the highest spot. The severe competition came from Absolute Elsewhere which is super close behind. I'll keep on listening to these two in the future. And not only that. The whole list consists of very good albums that have the potential to stay a bit longer than usual. Let's see. If you follow closely this blog, you may notice that many of the albums were part of my monthly lists and are already popular for the scene in 2024. However, I can assure you that some popular names are not present on the list though. You won't find Undeath here for example. I just could not squ...
