MY TOP 20 FOR JUNE 2021

Too many albums, too little inspiration...My top 20 for JUNE includes all predictable albums that a top list from June 2021 would include. It is because I dedicated time to the 10% from the enormous pile. The 10% that are going to stay, the 10% that are memorable and deserve attention. Only elitism is real, right?


DARKTHRONE - Eternal Hailz......
Release Date: 25 June

The most obvious choice. I wonder what Tom G Warrior thinks about this album...
HELLOWEEN - Helloween
Release Date: 18 June

Proud to commit commercial and soul suicide with this choice...

BOSSK - Migration
Release Date: 18 June

Fantastic as always, Bossk delivers another lesson in atmospheric sludge.
PESTILENCE - Exitivm
Release Date: 25 June

They did it again!
AMENRA - De Doorn
Release Date: 25 June

Everything by Amenra is gold
DESASTER - Churches Without Saints
Release Date: 4 June

Straight in your fkn face, poser!

FLOTSAM AND JETSAM - Blood in the Water
Release Date: 

It is more like heavy Primal Fear, but F&J delivers a great album again.
WITCH VOMIT - Abhoren Rapture
Release Date: 18 June

Outstanding! Heavy AF atmosphere and everything.

CEREBRAL ROT - Excretion of Mortality
Release Date: 25 June

Crushing DM with OS feel! One of the best in 2021 so far.

GORGON - Traditio Satanae
Release Date: 11 June

The type of BM I love (Impaled Nazarene fueled)
KING BUFFALO - The Burden of Restlessness
Release Date: 4 June

The grooves and the riffs.
WINTER ETERNAL - Land of Darkness
Release Date: 3 June

It is not the Hellenic BM as people know it. 
EYE OF PURGATORY - The Lighthouse
Release Date: 18 June

Because it is complete Edge of Sanity worship!
FRACTAL UNIVERSE - The Impassable Horizon
Release Date: 25 June

Technical, enjoyable. Oh, there is sax too.
OSSAERT - Pelgrimsoord
Release Date: 4 June

Finally something from the underground, right? I went too mainstream so far.



WARMOON LORD - Battlespells
Release Date: 25 June

Warmoon Lord is always presented in my lists. Always.
PHARAOH - The Powers That Be
Release Date: 18 June

What?! Really?

THORN - Crawling Worship
Release Date: 18 June

The hype was too big.


GNOSIS - Omens from the Dead Realm
Release Date: 14 June

Midpaced BM, a lot of Rotting Christ vibes. 


ARGWAAN - In a Surge of Anguish
Release Date: 12 June

The anguish could have been big if it wasn't so UG.




THE BONUS TRACKS:


ISON - Aurora
Release Date: 25 June

If you need an escape. Again.


HUMAN PREY - Grave Robbers from Outer Space
Release Date: 25 June

Shiny happy people from outer space. Only when you are in the right mood for them,
FLUIDS - Not Dark Yet

Not dark yet.





The Mandatory question: Where the fuck is the new Fear Factory album?

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

Image
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...
