Wouldnt mind if you also did monthly discoveries/ recommendations on here ;). Ive only slowllly gotten back into music and going to concerts alone for the first time. So your list is so well timed for me 🥰.
That's crazy I just stumbled on my new favourite channel. The way you talk about art is dripping with so much love for it that I couldn't click away. Really great stuff happening here
I just discovered you couple of weeks ago and oh boy did I fall into a music slump that you pulled me out of. I was out of new metal for the last 5 years, and you are pulling me back from being overwhelmed by all the new material. I shall listen to your fav list, I love how you describe the music and it's really easy for me to sync between your taste and mine. Thank you for your service m'lady!
A good list with some great picks, BMTH are awesome and definitely the outright catchiest of your choices. A couple of my picks are: . My Dying Bride - A Mortal Binding . Kelly Lee Owens - Dreamstate
Ahhh! I love finding a precious metalhead within the booktube community!!! 🥳🥳🥳🕺 I’m a big fan of Fleshgod, FFAA & Ulcerate particularly from this list, and am now eager to pick to Cognizance & The Last Dinner Party. Your reviews are so descriptive & eloquent you should do album reviews more often! I’m a big fan of TheMetalMeltdown on here 😁
Yes! The adorable Christmas jumper returns! lol ☺❤💚 Of course you also have great taste in music. Not familiar with all the bands, I'll have to check out the ones I don't know. Great video!
I've been curious about the sort of music produced by these albums but didn't know where to start. I appreciate the way you described each album. I'm off to build a playlist of your top 15. Last Dinner Party really piqued my interest. Thanks.
Tbh i wouldnt mind more videos on music. Maybe some on how to get into metal for people who arent that familiar with the genre (or various genres). Or combine it with your channel topic and do song/album recs based on favorite books! That could be fun.
Since I'm a fan of Devin Townsend I'll have to listen to Ou. I'm really out of the loop with music these days so always look forward to this list to get some new albums to check out
You're a metalhead! Love it ❤ I've gotten lazy about keeping up with the scene, I didn't even realise Aborted had a new album out. I saw them at Wacken a million years ago and they were incredible. I LOVE the Blood Incantation album though, this new album is the first I'd heard from them, and it's been one of my faves this year. I paused this video to go get a pen and paper to make notes on your list, I'm off to investigate the ones I wasn't familiar with, thanks for the recommendations!
I've been so out of the loop with metal for the past like 7(?) years, so I'm very thankful for all these recommendations ,I'll go and check them all out! Oh and I used to listen to a lot of Bring me the horizon back in the day and I've been meaning to give ther new album a listen but kinda forgot so thanks for the reminder!
Thanks for covering some metal Willow. I may have enjoyed a few more from 2023, but perhaps I just followed last year a little closer. Ulcerate are great and Stare Into Death And Be Still from 2020 is well worth a listen and I've fond ther entire catalogue very rewarding. My metal list includes, Muuntautuja by Oranssi Pazuzu Sparagomos by Spectral Voice, Chytridiomycosis Relinquished by Slimelord and As Spoken by Knoll. I really like Absolute Elsewhere and also makes my list. Non-metal inclues, Something in the Room she Moves Me by Julia Holter, Statik by Actress, All Life Long by Kali Malone, She Reaches Out To She Reaches Out To She by Chelsea Wolfe, The Thief Next To Jesus by Ka, The Tumbling Psychic Joy of Now : Holy Tongue and Shackleton, Funeral for Justice by Mdou Moctar, NO TITLE AS OF 13 FEBRUARY 2024 28,340 DEAD by Godspeed You! Black Emperor, My Light, My Destroyer by Cassandra Jenkins, The New Sound by Geordie Greep, Bright Future by Adriennne Lenker, and Night Reign by Arooj Aftab.
Blood Incantation was so good! Have you listened to Luck Won’t Save You’s “Through the Mountains of Melancholia”? I think that was my favorite this year. You have great taste in music. Start a music channel!!
I've been listening to the new Blood Incantation nonstop. It's very very special. Have you listened to the new Panzerfaust? It's also a thing of perfection.
Afraid I’ve never heard of any of them but I’m probably way too old for your blog. But the cover art on the first one is spectacular and that’s a very nice shirt u r wearing. Be well. Bye.⚛❤
This may still change but here are my picks 10 Ihsahn - Ihsahn 9 Hoplites - Paramainoméni 8 Nile - The Underworld Awaits Us All 7 Blood Incantation - Absolute Elsewhere 6 Akhlys - House of the Black Geminus 5 Spectral Wound - Songs of Blood and Mire 4 Mitochondrion - Vitriseptome 3 Schammasch - The Maldoror Chants: Old Ocean 2 Ulcerate - Cutting the Throat of God 1 Ingurgitating Oblivion - The Ontology of Nought
I love a new opportunity to share my best albums list. I think certain things pop in and out depending on my mood. It was a busy year. Mitochondrion - Vitriseptome Paysage d'hiver - Die Berge Kanonenfieber - Die Urkatastrophe Blood Incantation - Absolute Elsewhere Tyler, the creator - Chromakopia Kendrick Lamar - GNX Ka - The Theif Next to Jesus Westside Gunn - Still Praying Alcest - Les Chants de l'Aurore Secrets - Towards the Nightside Gel - Persona (EP) Nails - every bridge burning Mach-Hommy - RICHAXXHAITIAN Civerous - Maze Envy Slimelord - Chytridiomycosis Relinquished
This is such a silly thing I've noticed and I'm gonna preface this by saying I am also trans (just somewhere between "dude" and 'fuck you" as a gender). But I've noticed that trans women? Love metal music? You are FAR from the first I've seen this trend with and I love it SO MUCH. It's SUCH a fun pattern and it makes me all giggly to see things that feel like a shared vibe, y'know?
New channel, Willow Talks Metal, I’m here for it!
You should make another channel for music! I'm enjoying picking through these.
I know that this is a book channel, but this is the list of yours I look forward to the most as a fellow metalhead.
Awesome!

Wonderful Christmas jumper. What a wide range of music.

Damn! You a metalhead? Amazing man, great stuff, love some of your pics and nice one Frail Body? Had never heard of them
YES!! Love it when you share your music fave list 🤍

Oh for sure! It’s such a thing! I’ve seen memes like “name a more iconic duo than 🏳️⚧️ and 🤘” lol
