Me ignoring all new releases so I can just see the Top 10 recaps and know what to catch up on
swear on my life i saw blood incantation live this tour and the dude next to me looked and sounded exactly like thrashin jackson and talked about everything that was wrong with modern metal music scenes the entire time
That's fucking AWESOME lmao
@@themetalmeltdownofficial suicidal tendencies patch and everything. if the dude didn't have a light beard I would have thought this was the proverbial Jackson in the flesh. the crowdkilling knocked loose discourse really added to the immersion

Do you really think new The Black Dahlia Murder was better than Summoning The Lich?
@ Both are very good. I went with TBDM since they’ve been a favorite of mine for the longest time.
This is the first time I've come across your channel, and while I don't agree with all of your top picks, I have to commend you on your eclectic choices. It's nice to see top 10 lists that aren't full of all mainstream (easy) choices. Here is my top 10 of the year, curious if you've enjoyed or even heard some of these:
10. Miracle Blood: Hello Hell
09. They Came From Visions: The Robes of Twilight
08. Ihsahn: Ihsahn
07. Together to the Stars: The Fragile Silence

04. Slimelord: Chytridiomycosis Relinquished
03. The Mist From the Mountains: Portal - The Gathering of Storms
02. Wandering Oak: Resilience
01. Amiensus: Reclamation Part I and II
I think this year more than other you have influenced a lot of my choices for my best-of year list. I likely would've skipped over Striker and Pallbearer were it not for your glowing reviews, and now Striker is onme of my most played albums of the year! It's been great to engage in so many awesome conversations with you, so here's to another year of epic metal.

2. Aetheria Conscientia - The Blossoming

Job for a cowboy: Moon healer
Kanonenfieber: Die Urkatastrophe
Pyrrhon: Exhaust
Thou: Umbilical
Ulcerate: Cutting the throat of god
Knoll: As spoken
Spectral voice: Sparagmos
My favourite album this year is Geordie Greep’s The new sound. Greetings from Spain
That Geordie Greep album is so good
I did not know you are a fellow Sagittarius! My birthday is December 8th. Anyway, my top 10 are...
10. Oceans of Slumber - Where Gods Fear To Speak
9. Aquilus - Bellum II
8. Spectral Voice - Sparagmos
7. Bipolar Architecture - Metaphysicize
6. Judas Priest - Invincible Shield
5. Caligula's Horse - Charcoal Grace
4. Unleash The Archers - Phantoma
3. Crypt Sermon - The Stygian Rose
2. Dödsrit - Nocturnal Will
1. Blood Incantation - Absolute Elsewhere
A few of yours on my list! To be fair I still have like 100 albums to listen to including the new Opeth, but here is loosely where I stand...
Blood Incantation - Absolute Elsewhere
Civerous - Maze Envy
Hail Spirit Noir - Fossil Gardens
Hauntologist - Hollow
Krallice - Inorganic Rites
Mallephyr - Ruins of Inner Composure
Pyrrhon - Exhaust
Selbst - Despondency Chord Progressions
Spectral Voice - Sparagmos
Thanatotherian - Alienation Manifesto
Theophonos - Ashes in the Huron River
Veilburner - The Duality of Decapitation and Wisdom
Crypt Sermon, Pyrrhon, and Blood Incantation are utterly fantastic. Solid list!
My Top 10 for the year (not limited to metal, also order isn't final yet):
"She Reaches Out to She Reaches Out to She" - Chelsea Wolfe
"Imaginal Disk" - Magdalena Bay
"Divine Laughter" - Cave Sermon
"Cutting the Throat of God" - Ulcerate
"Impossible Light" - Uboa
"Brat" - Charli xcx
"Maggot Mass" - Pharmakon
"Absolute Elsewhere" - Blood Incantation
"As Spoken" - Knoll
"Enn" - Eivør
But, if it were just metal, it'd probably be Cave Sermon, Ulcerate, Blood Incantation, Knoll, Devenial Verdict, Gigan, Thou, Knocked Loose, Black Curse, and Concrete Winds (I think)
That Chelsea Wolfe album is so damn good.
@JustinAngel it really is. I'm biased cause I absolutely love her, but that album being about self-reinvention came at a perfect time for me, too. Also, the darkwave/trip-hop sound she aimed for is just so cool
@AgainstTheeWickedlyMusic same here man. Been a fan since Apokalypsis. She constantly experiments and keeps reinventing herself without missing even once. As a massive Converge fan also her project with them holds a special place in my heart lol.
@JustinAngel that's my favorite thing about her, too, the constant desire to explore new territory. I also love the "Bloodmoon" collab, that was such a great album. I do really hope for a 2nd part, someday
Great picks!
Fun tidbit. I have been watching you since long before you reimagined your channel. Not once has a video of yours been on my recommended page.
Yet today was the day where for the very first time upon typing “the metal m..” into the search bar that you popped up first and not the song! UA-cam is weird.
The most magical time of the year, indeed... A very prolific and incredible year for metal music, I concur, sir. I concur. :)
I have too many honorable mentions to name here. I could easily do a top 30 here, but I'll only go with my own top ten albums of the year. Everything is perception after all.
10. Kittie - Fire: What a F'N comeback! I'm still a Kittie fan after all these years and I was elated by their singles. Definitely a strong return to form these shred-slaying vixens! Proud to be a Canadian!
9. Akhlys - House of the Black Geminus: Less jarring and claustrophobic than their earlier outputs, but the nightmare is definitely more... present here. An accessible take on nightmarish and evil black metal. Probably their most accessible record thus far, and that's saying something.
8. Ulcerate - Cutting the Throat of God: An exercise in atmospheric, intricate dissonance. The best of both worlds. Ulcerate are line fine wine that just grows more and more expansive and masterful by the minute.
7. Sleepytime Gorilla Museum - ...of the Last Human Being: Turn Dadaism into progressive rock/metal and that's what it sounds like. Eclectic, bizarre, but captivating and very theatrical.
6. Kanonenfieber - Die Katastrophe: I'd stand shoulder to shoulder with these fine German soldiers any day. Powerful, compelling and emotionally driven blackened death metal rooted in the anguish and tragedy of the First World War.
5. Vitriol - Suffer & Become: Brutal, visceral, agressive, punishing... What more could you want?
4. Winterfylleth - The Imperious Horizon: Why fix what can't be broken? Winterfylleth's style is never boring. The atmosphere is gorgeous, while cold and glacial. It is a bleak landscape, but an immersive experience every time. Definitely one of their best albums.
3. Blood Incantation - Absolute Elsewhere: Cosmic, proggy death metal that has been reinvented yet again by this band. I didn't expect to love it as much. I knew it was going to be great, but I didn't think they surpassed Hidden History of the Human Race... yet, here we are.
2. Ingurgitating Oblivion - Ontology of Naught: If Lucifer was the conductor of an orchestra with Frank Zappa as his main composer, but fuel in even more sophistication, that's what you'd get. Intricate and meticulous in their craft, this band offers the best of avant-garde death metal. Deathspell Omega's worthy successors.
1. Pallbearer - Mind Burns Alive: It lends itself purposefully to the difficulties and the introspection that most of us need right now. Enough said. Emotional, nuanced progressive rock-tinged doom metal. Pallbearer has evolved tremendously since Sorrow and Extinction. They've rarely missed a step in this career and this proves it.
Glad to see some love for Crypt Sermon, Pyrrhon, Oranssi Pazuzu and Folterkammer by the way. Great list! Cheers! Happy Holidays!
My top 10 (order doesnt matter):
Blood Incantation - Absolute Elsewhere
Cementary Skyline - Nordic Gothic
Gatecreeper - Dark Superstition
In Vain - Solemn
Dark Tranquillity - Endtime Signals
Ihsahn - Ihsahn
Sólstafir - Hin helga kvöl
Darkest Hour - Perpetiual Terminal
VOLA - Friend of a Phantom
Opeth - The Last Will and Testament (album of the year)

Great list, you should check out the debut album by Irah Nox, it’s OG Suicide Silence guitarist Rick Ash’s new band & the riffs are just wild
all sorts of goodies blessed us with their presence, and while only 7 of the 20 slots on my album of the year list are metal, i did love enough to slap an extra 3 onto a best metal albums of 2024 list. speaking of...
1. Blood Incantation - Absolute Elsewhere (#1 overall)
2. Ulcerate - Cutting The Throat Of God (#2 overall)
3. Nails - Every Bridge Burning (#4 overall)
4. Knocked Loose - You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To (#6 overall)
5. Job For A Cowboy - Moon Healer (#8 overall)
6. Pallbearer - Mind Burns Alive (#13 overall)
7. Defeated Sanity - Chronicles Of Lunacy (#17 overall)
8. Pyrrhon - Exhaust (this was the album i almost put on my overall top 20)
9. Oranssi Pazuzu - Muuntautuja (given how i didn’t care for Mestarin Kynsi i am shocked i loved this as much as i did)
10. Ceremony Of Silence - Hálios (definitely the best to come out of the underground eastern european scene this year)
Hail from the homecountry of Ceremony Of Silence. The debut was a revelation on the local scene indeed and this second album just confirmed it was not just one-time success.
Cheers to another year Melty😊
My top 10 of the Year
10: Alcest-Les Chants de l'Aurore
9: Brodequin-Harbringer of Woe

thou was amazing
Nice list , thanks🎉
My favourites are (no particular order and just the band name, because I suck at remember the names of the albums)
Opeth
Dark Tranquillity
Aborted
Borknagar
Job for a cowboy
Gatecreeper
Blood incantation
As I lay dying
Skeletal remains
Wolfheart
Now as for my favourite album of the year, Draconian Darkness by Wolfheart!!! Absolutely amazing, this band never fails! I always loved Wolfheart and this album is one of the few that has absolutely zero forgettable and non single worthy songs! In fact even tho it's not my favourite Wolfheart album overall it's the only album where I've added all songs in my Wolfheart playlist. It's also interesting that they focused on having higher song numbers than albums like Wolves of Karelia, Constellation of the black, Tyhjyys and etc., which is compensated by the size of each song, which is good, but I miss having like a 6+ minute song. The only real issue I had with this album is the lack of powerful songs, things like Everlasting fall, Veri, The hunt, Tyhjyys, The flood, Ashes, we didn't get anything on THIS high level, but songs like Evenfall, Ancient cold, Scion of the flame and The gale are coming just short to that. From all Wolfheart albums that's probably like my 4th or 5th favourite album and I'd give it a solid 9.5/10. Phenomenal record, really really enjoyable
Put the picture of the damn albums on the screen dang it!!! Haha. Love it.
1.) Job For A Cowboy: Moonhealer
2.) Boundaries: Death is Little More
3.) Wormwitch: Wormwitch
4.) Better Lovers: Highly Irresponsible
5.) Nails: Every Bridge Burned
6.) Aborted: Vault of Horrors
7.) Kublai Khan: Exhibition of Prowess
8.) The Black Dahlia Murder: Servitude
9.) As I Lay Dying: Through Storms Ahead

You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To by Knocked Loose?
Every bridge burning by Nails?
More insane - Undeath?
@@cabhi1804 i like all 3
@@cabhi1804 all 3 very good.
All solid records
@@cabhi1804 I've had trouble ranking Nails cause it's so damn short. Every second rips, but I may just put it in my Top EP list just due to length. Hard to compare 45-60 minutes to 17, haha
@@themetalmeltdownofficial i'd say more than solid. Nails & undeath true are more personal choices but knocked loose was kinda big deal this year so no not even a mention was a disappointing.

Having Brat as your favourite metal album is so brat of you
Bart was terrible
@@DashieNegan41 dunno fam, I have a thing for hyper pop infused house beats a guess. Any recommendations?
good thing we're talkin about Brat, not Bart lmao
Awesome pics dude👍
Kanonfieber is great saw panzerfaust with them in Belgium
A lot of these artists went under my radar, but I'll definitely check them out.
Seems that 2025 will also shape up as a pretty great year too-- literally starting off with a new Paleface Swiss record
Aaaaaay we both got two of our favorite releases of the year on our respective birthdays 🤝
(mine was Blood Incantation)
Great list man 💪
I was a little sad that Thou didn’t even make the honorable mentions list, but well 🥲
Thanks for another year of reviewing music and bringing your perspectives to the table! Keep up the good work.
Cool list Robert, we have a few in common.
Great list...thanks for sharing...I agree that Blood Incantation put out the best album this year...but the album that I seem to listen to the most is Arcana Rising by Coffin Storm...cheers
Do people not rate Iotunn or have they not heard it? Pretty much top for me.
I think a lot of people aren't super aware of it honestly, but I can't speak for everyone. Personally enjoyed it but felt it was more sizzle than steak, yknowhatimean?
1. Morbid Saint - Swallowed By Hell
2. Rut - Morbid Thoughts
3. Evildead - Toxic Grace
4. Nocturnus AD - Unicursal
5. Atrophy - Asylum
6. Anarchy - Xenotech And The Cosmic Anarchy
7. Judas Priest - Invincible Shield
8. Satan - Songs In Crimson
9. Deicide - Banished By Sin
10. Flotsam And Jetsam - I Am The Weapon
that Morbid Saint album was better than it had the right to be, stupidly heavy and fun
@@themetalmeltdownofficial Definitely a fun, intense, riff-o-rama🤘Band has been reunited in various lineups for awhile but the new album kind of came out of nowhere. Usually albums like that are a mixed bag at best but Swallowed By Hell is a certified banger.🤘
My favorite album of this year was undoubtedly Maze Envy by Civerous, and it makes me so happy to see people put it as their number 1 as well.
great stuff here! definitely gonna have to check out those Respire, Spectral Voice, and Crypt Sermon records. some other fantastic albums I wanna shoutout for this year are:
Alcest's "Les chant de l'aurore" (post-metal/shoegaze)
Ceremony of Silence's "Hálios"(dissodeath)
Ulcerate's "Cutting the Throat of God"(dissodeath)
Antichrist Siege Machine's "Vengeance of Eternal Fire"(war metal)
The Body's "The Crying Out of Things"(industrial metal/power electronics)
Brodequin's "Harbinger of Woe"(brutal death)
Nails' "Every Bridge Burning"(grindcore)
Veilburner's "The Duality of Decapitation and Wisdom" (avant-garde/dissonant blackened death)
Winterfylleth's "The Imperious Horizon" (atmospheric meloblack)
lovely year for metal!
Killer list and some of these albums I could not get into but I enjoyed Respire, Blood Inc, Pyrrhon, Spectral Voice, and Kanonenfieber! Cheers and my list is on my channel!
At least two (possibly three) of these albums wouldn't have been on my radar if it hadn't been for this channel, so it certainly seems appropriate to be posting my list here.

Can you review every Limp Bizkit albums?
😐
MAY he review every Limp Bizkit album
It literally wasn't until this video that I learned Crypt Sermon released a new album.
My favorites were Invincible Shield by Judas Priest and Clear Cold Beyond by Sonata Arctica.
Check it out bud, great album!
@@themetalmeltdownofficial It's good!
Absolute Nowhere by Blood Incantation was something man
It really was, Blood Incantation really outdid themselves with that album.
Love that Striker are on the list, Ultrapower is great
It was the new Darkspace, Nile, and Blood Incantation for me \m/
No love for the new Paysage?
@@SleeplessSpecter Actually yes. Ironically, my copy of the 2CD digipack arrived today. After the disappointment of his previous album, I certainly appreciate the nods to Das Tor (a masterpiece IMO).
