MY TOP 20 FOR MARCH 2022

Image
March 2022 was a very solid month. Tons of new releases, and at least 25 very good albums. I feel many of them will stay longer with me and will land on my AOTY list. I found a good time with these. Below I give you my selection of the finest albums of March - in total 25 incl mandatory honorable mentions. This could easily be a Top 25 actually...

MY TOP 20 FOR FEBRUARY 2022

Image
February brought us a lot of music and WAR. I must admit that I listened to a lot of old/klassik albums rather than new music in February 2022. And of course a lot of Ukranian black metal. From each crazy week with releases there were 3-4 albums that stayed with me and made it to the present list. I listed some left outs too. Sometimes the left outs grow, you know. And as usual, I always wonder what did I miss?...

MY TOP 20 FOR JANUARY 2022

2022 started. I continue here again...The year started slowly for me in terms of new releases. After the complete burnout in 2021, I was very picky in listening to new albums in January 2022, and I did prefer the older stuff.   For the below list I selected those twenty I enjoyed the most in the past month. I can tell that probably half of them I'll forget in one month's time. It might happen that an album that I missed here will grow....Anyhow, I leave these 20 here for the sake of history and as a reminder of what I've been into.  So here we go again. The first monthly list with my recomendations for 2022 in no particlular order. Or not? Enjoy in any case! Oh, yes, one more thing - Blogger sucks! I'll migrate everything to another platform very soon. And it may end up to being motivate in creating more content. Fuck it!

TIME FLIES: THE KLASSIKS THAT TURN 30 IN 2022

Continuing my travel back in time. This turned to be a regular publication over the last years on the blog. In 1992 I witnessed some fantastic metal releases that I randomly listed below. Some of them became one of the greatest albums ever released.  Back then I was a teenager and I was digging into the genre to the best I could, discovering bands after bands, and albums after albums, as many as were available on the local pirate market...Great times that I'll always remember. I got my first CD audio player, first OP t-shirts, got in high school, and yes - all the parties began. Life was absolutely careless... If we just think for a moment, in 1992 albums like The Number of the Beast, Black Metal, Screaming for Vengeance, Saints and Sinner, Restless and Wild, Blackout, Combat Rock etc, they all turn 40!!! So let's go 30 years back in time now. 44 listed and lots of mandatory honorable mentions. 44 that stayed a lot with me and all honorable mentions that I often return to and l...
