MY TOP 20 FOR JULY 2022

Here we are again - my little (elitist? nah, absolutely not!) selection of albums that left me a solid impression from the needlessly huge pile of releases during the given month. I won't repeat again and again what I say every time about quantity and quality.

For me July'22 was a mediocre month but now looking at this present list here, I find it somewhat a solid one. I'm sure there are some more solid albums that I left in my notes, but they are now into the grinder and I guess I won't return to them anymore. Another month will come, other hundreds will arrive, and there is no time to go back for the forgotten ones. I hate this spiral!

The list below includes a number of titles that go straight into my AOTY list too. Like my album of the month, that is Greg Puciato's Mirrorcell. Has Reeking Aura just delivered the best death metal album of 2022 so far? And isn't it the best Grima album to date? Everyone to his/her own.  But there are more good stuff included in this list...

Just listen to the music and I hope you would find something enjoyable below that you overlooked by chance. For me, it's another list in no particular order that will remind me about this exact moment in time and will help to recall forgotten releases... Yes, it's official: I can't remember or recall bands' names or albums anymore.
