MY TOP 15 FOR MARCH 2019

I wasn't impressed by March. I was NOT.  Despite of enormous quantity of releases, barely nothing got me. I was honestly listening more to promos to upcoming releases, or catching up with some overlooked albums, or simply revisiting older favourites. That's why the present list was not easy to compile. As usual it consists of a bit more than 10 suggestions. As usual you should not expect the most famous bands in this list...Let's go - 15 in no particular order.

VENOM PRISON - Samsara
Release Date: 15 March 2019

This was the surprise of the month for me. Brutal AF, with crisp clear sounding, and own atmosphere.
DRAWN INTO DESCENT - The Endless Endeavour
Release Date: 15 March 2019

Oh boy...


MYSTIFIER - Protogoni Mavri Magiki Dynasteia
Release Date: 8 March 2019

Great return by the Brazilians. Read why this record is so important in my review for Blessed Altar Zine here

HAUNT - If Icarus Could Fly
Release Date: 22 March 2019

Too soon after Burst into flame, still very enjoyable. Being in the same flow with 2018, and somehow appearing that the tracks were left outs from last years' album.


EQUIPOISE - Demiurgus
Release Date: 15 March 2019

Tech death glory!




USURPER - Lords Of Permafrost
Release Date: 22 March 2019

Old-school AF. Roots live again!
AKROTHEISM - The Law of Seven Deaths
Release Date: 29 March 2019

This is so suffocating black metal. So claustrophobic. So dark.
ELLENDE - Lebensnehmer
Release Date: 29 March 2019

Gorgeous atmospheric/post black metal three years after the amazing Todbringer. Ellende seem to be on their magical own path.

VIMUR - Triumphant Master of Fates
Release Date: 1 March 2019

Majestic black metal



VLTIMAS - Something Wicked Marhes In
Release Date: 29 March 2019

I didn't expect this album to be so good. Real twists and turns in BLAST. Well, we all know who are the band members.
NORDJEVEL - Necrogenesis
Release Date: 29 March 2019

I was able to listen to the promo long enough in order to define the album as trve Norwegian black fkn metal.
MYSTICISM - Arcane Forest Rites
Release Date: 26 March 2019

UNBELIEVABLE! Yeah, the gems are discovered by chance! What an atmospheric black metal. I'm not fan of Void Ritual, but Daniel Jackson offers something completely different here. Absolutely gorgeous album!
NOCTURNAL HOLLOW - A Whisper of a Horrendous Soul
Release Date: 29 March 2019

Because I love Swedish OSDM worship. HUGE! (The guys are from Venezuela though)


TOTALED - Lament 
Release Date: 29 March 2019

I had the chance to listen to this album just couple of times, but it was enough for me to include it in this list. Furious tunes!


RINGARË - Under Pale Moon
Release Date: 8 March 2019

Last but not least, Ringarë's mind-blowing atmospheric black metal with synth layers all over.

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 LIST OF SEPTEMBER 2023

Image
Abundance. This is how I can describe September 2023. This is why the below list looks like shit, meaning so unprofessional that I am listing 55+ albums below. I tried somehow to make a conditional cut at 25, but honestly, it's worth spending time with all these albums.
