MY TOP 20 FOR APRIL 2022

A very solid month, with tons of new albums and some very good albums that will go straight into my AOTY list. Some of my all-time favorite bands released fantastic music. Well, my list below includes more or less the obvious. Not surprisingly. Naturally, my shortlist was much longer, but I had to pick the best of the best and just stop at a certain point.  I noticed the trend that my lists are becoming more and more mainstream, but I just pick what I really like and listen to the most over the month.

My album of the month changed quickly in the last days of the month when Skull Fist just got over Evil Invaders. Both albums are absolutely amazing and their importance is undoubtful because such albums just keep the true metal alive and well. Then we have Meshuggah and Watain of course... The freight train that is pushing the musical boundaries and the lawless darkness delivering fire after fire. I must that Meshuggah's new album is definitely much more accessible than before though.

So here it comes, my top favorite releases of April'22 and then some honorable mentions. Enjoy!

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.
