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.

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.
