Go and live your passion

I drown into musical indifference in July. I turned back to my fav bands and albums which I love in order to find the spark again. Hardly gathered the 15 albums here to complete this July list. Originally I thought the month will be huge. I was wrong. In this respect, I'm not sure how many of these below will be in rotation till the end of the year, and which of them will appear in my AOTY list.  And I listened to almost every (more important) new release in this month. You get my point, right? Observations: Another glorious month for death metal. Not the case with the black metal releases. In general, these 15 are quite UG, which makes me happy. A strange list though. DISOWNING - Human Cattle Release Date: 12 July 2019 Fantastic death metal. Read my review here BURIAL REMAINS - Trinity of Deception Release Date: 12 July 2019 Devastating Dutch OSDM. Fleshcrawl. Read my review here AEON WINDS - Stormveiled Release Date: 12 July 2019 If Dimmu Borgir continue...

I have to admit it - June was weaker than expected. Besides some of the new albums, I was listening mostly to older stuff. Initially I thought it would be very hard to compose the list below. Then it turned very easy, because of the standing out quality of these 15 from all the rest albums which I listened in the past month. Yes, and few more, which didn't make it to the 15. Well, it seems it is mostly death metal month? Well, Memoriam was definitely the album of the month; the rest are in no particular order. However, some other really good DM albums were released and the my monthly list quickly was filled in. As usual, couple of HM albums crawled in. More than usually, actually. And yes, there are NO albums in my list from the 28 June release stack. MEMORIAM - Requiem For The Mankind Release Date: 21 June 2019 Excellent third album. Tight, heavy, with some great haunting solos. Great production. FETID - Steeping Corporeal Mess Release Date: 7 June 2019 Yes, ther...

Another month with tons of new releases. Literally. I found some enjoyable and some not that much, but at a certain point I felt myself lost. Below 15 (+1 bonus), represent the full-length albums I enjoyed the most out of the huge pile I managed to listen (somehow) properly. Few others just coudn't make it... As usual, many left under-listened or just sampled. That's why you will not see some of your favourites here. And yeah, don't expect Amon Amarth below too. My honorable mentions must go to:  Bethlehem, Bewitcher, Kampfar, Deus Mortem, Saturnus Terrorism (thanks, Apollo!) , Funeral Storm, Sühnopfer, Nocturnus AD, Duel, Allagash and Fleshgod Apocalypse. There's neither Deathspell Omega nor Monasterium, nor... whatever in the list. Haunt's new album was kind of disappointment for me, and I stated it in my review for Blessed Altar Zine . Although it can get into any list easily. And yes, I didn't give a listen to the new Origin , which is pity. On top, I...

Ok, April was huge. This is already known by all the metal community. Many great releases saw the light during the past month. I was barely keeping it up with checking and listening... Out of the big pile, I list down here the ones I enjoyed the most. That said, I must admit that there were few others which I feel I didn't play enough, or just couldn't make it to the 15. Well, the list is a bit longer. Why? Two EPs are included too. EPs which defined a lot my April - by Hellripper and by Krigere Wolf. This way my top list now consists of 18 releases in total with some bonus... My personal favourite April 2019 releases. You will say I have missed something. For sure I did... ENJOY THE GREAT MUSIC! HELLRIPPER - Black Arts & Alchemy EP Release Date: 5 April 2019 10/10 in my review for Blessed Altar Zine. INCULTER - Fatal Visions Release Date: 12 April 2019 So intense and so good. Top notch thrash with blackened motifs. NONE - Damp Chill of Life Release Da...
