I'll play Freeroads after playing Freeways to complete the hard rock, highway cruising playlist! Was so happy to get the notification of this video. A pleasure as always
I love to see the Chilean scene getting its due respect. The Trastorned album is gonna be great, and Chaotic Bastard, Critical Defiance and Mental Devastation have all hinted new albums this year
@@m.c.c5527 Ripper are fantastic! As is Demoniac, Parkcrest, Dangerous, Mayhemic, Insecurity, Suffering Sights and a whole lot of other bands. Incredible quality coming out of Chile these days
@@gwts1171 I got stranded in MN, my car broke down. Everyone was so fucking rude and I hated that state for years...but everyone I've met since has been the nicest. No point to this story, just stoned.
Never heard of Trastorned or Leiþa but will definitely check those out. I'm looking forward to Ahab and Firienholt in January and will probably get around to listening to Obituary as well.
I follow Dying Victims Productions pretty closely, so I've been waiting for Trastorned and Freeroad for a while. Also, Nothingness are local boys for me, so I'll be grabbing that either way. I hadn't heard of Leipa, but I love None, so I'll check it out and probably love it. Thanks, Blayne - now quit getting Covid, you silly man!
The album im most looking forward to in 2023 is Ne Obliviscarus. That single they dropped is the best song I heard in 2022. If the album maintains that consistency, it's going to be unbelievable.
Interesting list, all new for me! You should check the new _Vale Of Amonition_ --top notch doom metal from Uganda. Gives some feels of Yob and Warning, but with a very unique African twist. Amazing stuff that no one seems to talk about, and that definitely deserves more attention.
Power Metal normally isn't my bag, but Twilight Force make it so much more entertaining. Even seeing them live next week, can't wait to hear this sound in a live setting.
What I'm REALLY waiting for is for a band that sounds like Leiþa to do a 16-bit RPG homage music video like Twilight Force did for "Sunlight Knight." Except make the hero a dude in spikey armor and corpsepaint, obviously.
Can’t wait for obituary tomorrow! Leida sounded great will defo check that out. I got Necronautical - Slain in the Spirit vinyl (in Amber) for Christmas! It’s awesome!
I never gave power metal a fighting chance and I'm still so sceptical about it until I heard Fellowship's record. I still can't believe how that album is in such a heavy rotation on my playlist considering I'm a big death/black metal fan
Really looking forward to the new Frozen Crown album in March, and there could well be new albums later this year from Judas Priest and Burning Witches!
Really looking forward to Turbid North & Anachronisms new bits. Hormagaunt, Tumulation & Ashen Tomb have released some fun so far. Still need to check out the new Esoctrilihum record. I realise it's next month but don't sleep on the debut of Mithradatum Feb 1st.
Thanks Blayne, I’m definitely going to listen to those first three albums, they sound amazing… I guess I might listen to the palate cleanse too… 4 out of 5 then! Good strike rate 🤪 That Twilight Force album definitely sounds like it would threaten my sanity.
Treated myself to Desecrator 'Subconscious Release', Massacre 'From Beyond' and Nocturnus 'The Key' this year, all originals in mint condition and far from cheap! My girlfriend would kill me if she knew what I spent! :p
Blayne you gotta cover more thrash albums too! I swear the last one you did was Miscreance a few months back (which was such a sick album). Bring on the thrash!!
Can someone help me to find this song?? Its from a metal band, i think the song comes from its debut album. its says something like this: my arms are open to you...
New Ahab record for my birthday?! That's so sweet of them
For Christmas my wife picked me up the Celtic Frost - Danse Macabre LP set and it's absolutely lush!
Moral of the story: Thin Lizzy is top tier driving music
I'll play Freeroads after playing Freeways to complete the hard rock, highway cruising playlist! Was so happy to get the notification of this video. A pleasure as always
That connection is the first thing I thought about. :) Love Freeways!!!
Esoctrilihum and Gra! Also all these bands Blayne mentioned. But mostly Esoc and Gra!
Awesome vid!
Blayne, it seems you found one the most thrilling new black metal acts in years! Kanonenfieber is absolutely amazing! 🤘🏻👊🏻
Everything off noisebringer records is dope
I love to see the Chilean scene getting its due respect. The Trastorned album is gonna be great, and Chaotic Bastard, Critical Defiance and Mental Devastation have all hinted new albums this year
It's always been such a great scene! I always give something a bit of extra attention when I see it's from Chile.
Don't forget about Ripper and Suppression too! Chile nowadays got a very strong and promising scene, wishing them the best.
Vortize is another great band from Chile
@@m.c.c5527 Ripper are fantastic! As is Demoniac, Parkcrest, Dangerous, Mayhemic, Insecurity, Suffering Sights and a whole lot of other bands. Incredible quality coming out of Chile these days
Definitely looking forward to the new Obituary album and also interested in checking out Trastorned and Nothingness as well.
Great show!
Cheers from 🇧🇷 Brasil!
MORE POWERMETAL!!!! I love the resurgence of it I need the positivity the world is shit enough!
love the cat just coming into frame and just doing its thing!!!!
Taking the advice of the palette cleanser band
@@the3rdconstant564 like we all should
Thanks again Blayne 😊 I look forward to Metal Monthly ever month for a good ole dose of new metal and your shenanigans 😂
*every…..all that college and I can’t spell every 😂😂😂🤓🤘
I'm excited for a (hopefully) new Hooded Menace record 😬
Holy shit thanks for that Leipa recommendation Blayne! Best melodic black metal i've heard in years. Definitely looking forward to the album.
Sick shirt man. I own it too and it's quite the head-turner!
That last Nothingness record has been in heavy rotation lately..just discovered them a few months ago, really looking forward to that one..so good
They're really cool. There isn't a lot that makes me happy to live in Minneapolis/St. Paul, but they are one of the things.

I love the last Twilight force album you recommend it and still find it from time to time on. Cant wait for this one !
SICK shirt Blayne! Monumental album that is: one of the best releases of 2021 if you ask me.
Seconded. Love that fucking album.
What band is it? I couldn't quite make it out.
@@gwts1171 They're called Kanonenfieber. Absolutely love this band. Very melodic Blackened Death

It should be amazing, I'm glad a band is actually touching on the fires we had here in Aus. Perfect topic for metal.
Thanks, Blayne. Appreciate the amount of black metal you have to churn through to extract those albums.
Interesting list, all new for me! You should check the new _Vale Of Amonition_ --top notch doom metal from Uganda. Gives some feels of Yob and Warning, but with a very unique African twist. Amazing stuff that no one seems to talk about, and that definitely deserves more attention.
I just checked out their Bandcamp page - very cool! I'll be grabbing that. Thanks for the heads up!
I am looking forward to the new Riverside and Katatonia.
Power Metal normally isn't my bag, but Twilight Force make it so much more entertaining. Even seeing them live next week, can't wait to hear this sound in a live setting.
New Sangy sandwich Bogg next month and Cattle Decap in May should be fun
Hey Blayne, thanks for adding the power/heavy metal albums at the end, best way to skip them easily.
I absolutely thought the Leitha song was a cover of She's So Heavy at first. Love the track either way.
What I'm REALLY waiting for is for a band that sounds like Leiþa to do a 16-bit RPG homage music video like Twilight Force did for "Sunlight Knight." Except make the hero a dude in spikey armor and corpsepaint, obviously.
The biggest January albums will be Tribunal "The Weight Of Remembrance" and Obituary
Great picks! 2023 is already banging!
Metal Monthly is my go to for metal!!! Blayne makes me bank account shrink with his picks. 👀😂😅
Can’t wait for obituary tomorrow! Leida sounded great will defo check that out. I got Necronautical - Slain in the Spirit vinyl (in Amber) for Christmas! It’s awesome!
Noisebringer never disappoints, love everything he puts out
I only just discovered that Noisebringer Records only brings out records by Noise.
I hope every metal monthly this year has a power metal album 🙏
I hope not since it's not really my cup of tea, but... Uh... More power to you 🤭
☠️Ditto ☠️
He doesn’t get power metal though…
Nice Kanonenfeiber tee Blayne... wish those guys would use something else besides PayPal on their Bandcamp page... great band!
I never gave power metal a fighting chance and I'm still so sceptical about it until I heard Fellowship's record. I still can't believe how that album is in such a heavy rotation on my playlist considering I'm a big death/black metal fan
Oof that Nothingness sounds excellent
Mechina drops a new album almost every year on January 1st. Those guys rule 🤘
Really looking forward to the new Frozen Crown album in March, and there could well be new albums later this year from Judas Priest and Burning Witches!
Really looking forward to Turbid North & Anachronisms new bits. Hormagaunt, Tumulation & Ashen Tomb have released some fun so far. Still need to check out the new Esoctrilihum record.
I realise it's next month but don't sleep on the debut of Mithradatum Feb 1st.
Great list Blayne! You should check out Foxor, they just released an incredible album
It's here!
Hey man, thanks for the support!
The beginning of the year is indeed busy, looking forward to, Obituary, Katatonia, Twilight Force, records 🤘
Bring me to the Megaton Sword!
im liking this trend of great power metal albums that are so good they arent considered the palette cleanse anymore lol
Excited for Twilight Force, love the video as ususal :D
Even if you didn't feature Conjureth or Anachronism, hope at least one gets a review ;)
Thanks Blayne, I’m definitely going to listen to those first three albums, they sound amazing… I guess I might listen to the palate cleanse too… 4 out of 5 then! Good strike rate 🤪 That Twilight Force album definitely sounds like it would threaten my sanity.
Fuzzy Cats are Metal AF
Excited about the Katatonia. I love all the records.
Obituary and Ahab too
I've got that same goddamn Tiger hanging on your back wall.
Treated myself to Desecrator 'Subconscious Release', Massacre 'From Beyond' and Nocturnus 'The Key' this year, all originals in mint condition and far from cheap! My girlfriend would kill me if she knew what I spent! :p
Good job Blayne. 👍
Blayne you gotta cover more thrash albums too! I swear the last one you did was Miscreance a few months back (which was such a sick album). Bring on the thrash!!
Can't wait for new Cattle Decap 🤘🤘🤘🤘
EARTH released an amazing soundtrack for a documentary called “Even Hell Has Its Heroes” definitely awesome for the Doom/Drone crowd.
I love how Dylan just keeps releasing great albums. Not sure why they don't get as much attention anymore.
🔥
...And oceans, Jan 15 👌🤘👌
I'm excited for the twilight force record.
Great shirt buddy!
Ulthar, Megaton Sword and Hellripper all in Feb!
The new Kohnerah album releases tomorrow! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Nice tshirt kanonenfieber is sick.
UADA know....
Can barely keep up to the Black Metal from December, but thanks as always!
Oh yeah Blayne, your taste in Black Metal has definitely rub off on me, definitely excited for Leipa. Dat new Katatonia sounding sexy as well!
Anyone who unironically enjoys goregrind doesn't get to pretend that any other subgenre of metal is silly :) Happy New Year Blayne.
That Khemmis banner! God damn!
Good list, surprised no Ahab but I'm assuming it'll be reviewed if it hasn't already?
Eisregen album also out this month!
Reue's name in english is Regret. Just to put it out there.
Can't wait for the new Megaton sword album next month.
Could you expand on (or could someone link to) what you mean between blunt vs sharp in regards to death metal?
WTF? No mention of VV for the 13th? And, even though it's already out, Anti-Flag's new one should've gotten a shout-out too...
New Obituary tracks sound killer.
Chronicle (DK) - Where Chaos Thrives. Looking forward to this one from the Danish death metallers
South American Thrash is the best Thrash:)
Bizarrekult - Den Tapte Krigen / Season Of Mist out 27/1 is missing BIG TIME out!!!
hahahaha you killed me with the Twilight Force review
The fact that the f in Twilight Force is small makes me want to scream 😂
Love your dog!
Negative Vortex is gonna be a killer drop this month…album is tomb absolute
Freeroad channeling Running Free by Maiden, which is fine by me
Nice shirt!
high as a kite
Still waiting for that Nothingness ‘Supraliminal’ review 💀
Can someone help me to find this song?? Its from a metal band, i think the song comes from its debut album. its says something like this: my arms are open to you...
Sick t-shirt 🤘🏻

Metal & ragdol cat (as all the cats) 🤘🤘🤘
