THE BEST DEATH METAL ALBUMS OF 2022

 


Another useless list here. I published my Black Metal top list for 2022 featuring 42 names, so this time I present you the best of 2022 death metal albums. For the sake of consistency, I did it with 42 names again. These are the DM releases that made me the best impression and/or I liked the most. Frankly speaking the death metal in 2022 wasn't that exciting at all. A lot of stuff out there but not memorable. 

As usual, the below 42 are not in a particular order. Overall it is a solid list but not really sure how many I'm going to take into 2023 onwards with me. Because another pile of new stuff is coming and we'll be buried under the new schedule. And compared to the klassiks, almost zero of the new stuff has the power even to try to attempt what I really love from the past...You know what I mean.

Another remark - I tried to list down the death metal albums as per the understanding of the genre itself, not mixing with cross genres like death-black for example. Some ultra-solid names were left out because of this. Sisyphean, Berator or Vessel of Iniquity for instance. 

From another hand, I just couldn't squeeze into the 42 the following bands: Rotten Tomb, Desolate Shrine, Suppression, Father Befouled, Scalpture, Cosmic Putrefaction, Demonical, Imprecation and Sol Ether here. They all deserve to be mentioned. And there you go, with them you got a top 51 list if you wish so.

Splits are not included in the list although there are five superb death metal splits that I enjoyed to the fullest - Gosudar/Malignant Altar, Perilaxe Occlusion/Fumes/Celestial Sanctuary/Thorn, Sewer Fiend/Plague Patrol, Ritual Necromancy/Fossilization, Anatomia/Undergang.

Here's the list according to the collage. Enjoy and let me know what I missed, or what are your favourites.  Cheers!

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.
