MY TOP 20 FOR NOVEMBER 2022

Basically, it is my last monthly top list for 2022. Next, it would be the AOTY list, if there is any need for such a list anymore. Do we need an AOTY list when almost everything is fast food? For me 2022 was NOT a good year for my beloved music but rather mediocre. Too many albums were released with very arguable quality and staying power close to none.

I must admit that I have to go through this blog too often in order to recall what's been out there that I liked in the respective month. 


As usual this list features all the releases from the respective month that I liked the most. This does not necessarily mean that the ones are not presented might not impact me in the future.  My notes include a lot of albums that didn't make the cut but were potential candidates. I had to limit the list to twenty at the end of the day. I'm almost sure that few will stay in the future with me though. 

Many of my dearest readers will say that for example High Command, Detherous, Lamentations, Tchornobog/Abyssal, Dysgnostic or Elder are missing. Yes, these might siddenly click more solidly and off we go, you know how it is. My album of the month? Drudkh was followed super closely by Djevel. Or vice versa? Both are huge for the black metal in 2022! Mind you that I still haven't listened to the new Förgjord and that's why I can't judge.

What about you? What did make you impression the most in Novembre'22?

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 FOR MAY 2023 (Expanded)

Image
May 2023 was an interesting month. Not many distinguished names, but rather bands and albums that get under the skin. In the meantime, I saw Watain and Pantera live and spent quite a good time with some old klassiks that helped me clean my ears from the contemporary sugar-coated plastic fantastic metal for dummies.
