MY TOP 10 FOR SEPTEMBER 2018

Autumn is here. Leaves are falling in the colder shorter days, under the colder sun...September passed imperceptibly. Naturally the music which was released was much more than the hours I could have listened to and it was again difficult to choose the finest 10. In the end it happened to be very diverse selection. There were too many bands releasing in September from all kinds of genres...Top 10 shaped with a lot of potential bonus tracks. Fatal 13 in total here though.


WOLFHEART - "Constellation of the Black Light"
Release Date: 28 September 2018

One of the most finest albums in 2018. Period


CAULDRON - New Gods
Release Date 7 September 2018

Below In Ruin, but still very enjoyable. Cauldron doing what they do best - revive the good old times.
My review for Blessed Altar Zine here
ARCHGOAT - Luciferian Crown
Release Date: 14 September 2018

Archgoat, either like them or not. Never disappoint. Bestial as usual.


MONSTROSITY - The Passage Of Existence
Release Date: 7 September 2018

Monstrous return!

ALLFATHER - And All Will Be Desolation
Release Date: 7 September 2018

Undisputed attitude! Heavy riffs and NOLA spirit from UK. My review for Blessed Altar Zine here


OWL - Nights In Distortion
Release Date: 7 September 2018

Autumn tunes to the core - dark, heavy, ambient and melancholic. TON, Neurosis, Katatonia etc...
My review for Blessed Altar Zine here

NECRONOMICON - Unleashed Bastards
Release Date: 28 September 2018

What a thrash record by the veterans! Grabbed me instantly with its tempo and melodies. Absolute thrash gem in 2018!



Sorcier Des Glaces - SDG
Release Date: 15 September 2018

Atmospheric to the core. Multiple pieces gathered perfectly in one track for 50 minutes. One of the best BM records for 2018.
My review for Blessed Altar Zine here
VREID - Lifehunger
Release Date: 28 September 2018

 This grew very fast. Superb atmo/melodic black with some Tribulation and prog nuances here and there


KRIGSGRAV - Leave No Path To Follow
Release Date: 22 September 2018
Thanks, Emil, for this reco! Glorious heavy doom and black in one place.
BONUS TRACKS:
HEADS FOR THE DEAD - Serpent Curse
Release Date: 24 September 2018

 Brutal, devastating, intense DM. Just on my path.

REVOCATION - The Outer Ones
Release Date: 28 September 2018
Lots of happening here. Technical and requires attention.  Very similar to what Obscura delivered? Rawer though. 


ANAAL NATHRAKH - A New Kind Of Horror
Release Date: 28 September 2018

 This is another sick album. Still the clear progressive ICS Vorthex-type (!) vocals are killing me, but the rest is superb chaos.





Did I miss something? Of course I did! For sure many important releases not included in that list. Just to mention Aborted, Riverside, Dalkhu, Suicidal Tendencies, Therapy?, Witch Ripper, Emmui, Deicide etc., which couldn't make it to here...

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

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...

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...
