Nice list. I need to give Sulphur Aeon and Ruim more of a run
Hey man, just discovered your channel recently. I’ve only watched a few videos, but I must say I love your taste in grind. I haven’t heard much Rotten Sound since Exit, I remember not liking the newer stuff quite as much, but I will have to give that new one a listen. Cheers! 🍻🤘
cheers mate - new Rotten Sound is nothing revolutionary but it's a fun and intense listen
A lot of great stuff here mate. You should pick up Suffocation, that album is excellent, took me some spins to adjust to the new vocalist, but after that the album is getting better for each spin. Another excellent Metal year. Spectral Voice should be a top pick this year, at least I hope it will be, hehe. Cheers.
Thanks mate I watched your dm one today and noted we had plenty of matches plus you gave me a few suggestions to check out. I’m looking forward to seeing Suffo in a few months as they always rule live
I'm here cuz of the GGFH shirt so I'm assured a legit best
one of the best bands ever! none more sinister
And for those who don't like Cookie Monster vocals - top metal album of 2023 is "Judgement Day" by LOVEBITES.
can't say I know them but will check them out - haha I do love Cookie Monster vocals though
@@mendicantmedia I just realised I'm just north of the border from you - the usually sunny (although recently rainy) Gold Coast. Because you appear to prefer "heavier" metal sub-genres, I'll give you some suggestions of LOVEBITES playing Thrash. They mostly do Power Metal (some of their Power Metal songs are legitimate masterpieces), but their Thrash songs are my favourites - easily as good as anything from Testament, Slayer or Anthrax in my opinion. They are elite musicians, one of the most musically talented metal bands on the planet, so even if this isn't your preferred style of music, at least you'll be able to appreciate the talent.
They sing in English, but the strong Japanese accept can make it difficult to understand the lyrics. If lyrics are important to you, just Google them and have them on your screen as you listen. Also, the "princess" costumes might confuse you at the start - these girls do NOT cosplay biker chicks.
All are live songs. Enjoy.

@@mendicantmedia I just realised I'm just north of the border from you - on the Gold Coast. Which town/city you in?
I'll give you some recommendations of LOVEBITES thrash songs, because I'd imagine you'd prefer those over their Power Metal songs. They sing in English, but the singer's strong Japanese accent will make it difficult to understand the lyrics - so Google the lyrics if you are interested. They are ELITE musicians, and their costumes might confuse you (no biker-chick cosplay here).

I'll also throw in one bonus video of a newer song, as it sounds (to me at least) to have a slight black metal vibe - not vocally of course. Enjoy ua-cam.com/video/WlCNvHoG1pY/v-deo.html
@@1970Phoenix I'm down near Canberra - cheers I'll check them out
Reverence to Paroxysm, Xysma, and Geld were all on my list too! Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick
that Reverence is so ridiculous I love it
The missus watches too sometimes, don't believe the lies
Haha I figured it would be legitimately a sausage fest but not 100% 😁
Sorry, to hear Vastum didn't do much for you cause for me it's AOY
It’s certainly not terrible but they’ve never quite clicked for me for some reason. Same goes for Necrot
Like and share the video people
Cheers mate
how do you spell the band named at 36:52 , with the sick album art?
Astriferous is the band with the killer cover art mesacounojo.bandcamp.com/album/pulsations-from-the-black-orb
Now, lets talk about the GGFH shirt. One of the scariest the overlooked bands
yeah mate one of my faves and I forgot to mention in the vid that I was stoked that they are back together working on new tunes - check out my Top 15 Peaceville and Dreamtime video if you haven't already as they definitely feature in there ua-cam.com/video/F12w3slUnls/v-deo.html
Just listened "Disease" the other day!
I was glad to see Peaceville just reissued Disease on vinyl
5. 'Transylvanian Glare' by Arnaut Pavle
4. 'Horned Lord for the Thorned Castle' by Moonlight Sorcery
3. 'Sator Arepo' by Judgitzu
2. 'Infinite Psychic Depths' by Outer Heaven
1. 'Seasons Dreaming Death' by Graveripper
thanks for a great video! Cheers from Texas
nice list - I'm not familiar with some of those so I'll check them out
As usual, whenever I create a "best of" annual year-end list I leave a bunch of good stuff off and 2023 was no exception at all. I probably could have made this list ten times longer and boring af to read, but that said, barring a complete miracle for 2023's last month, I have what would be the 25 albums that I enjoyed the most this year:
1. Lovebites -- Judgement Day
2. Delain -- Dark Waters
3. Hellripper -- Warlocks Grim and Withered Hags
4. Insomnium -- Anno 1696
5. Overkill -- Scorched
6. Redshift -- Laws of Entropy
7. Xandria -- The Wonders Still Awaiting
8. Perc3ption -- Art In Extreme Situations
9. Fierce Justice -- Fireborn
10. Acid King -- Beyond Vision
11. Enforced -- War Remains
12. Wytch Hazel -- IV: Sacrament
13. Restless Spirit -- Afterimage
14. Kalmah -- S/T
15. Ne Obliviscaris -- Exul
16. Echoes of Bronze -- Ilium
17. Night Legion -- Fight or Fall
18. Enchantya -- Cerberus
19. Majesties -- Vast Reaches Unclaimed
20. Midnight Vice -- S/T (the riffs on this are KILLER)
21. Excalion -- Once Upon A Time
22. Naitaka -- Emergence
23. Blood Ceremony -- The Old Ways Remain
24. Soen -- Memorial
25. Iron Savior -- Firestar
Just missed: Dhaliax -- Doomed , Obituary -- Dying of Everything, Blackbraid -- Blackbraid II, Cruachan -- The Living and the Dead, Enslaved -- Heimdal, Blackbriar -- A Dark Euphony, Moonlight Sorcery -- Horned Lord of the Thorned Castle, Akilla -- The Gods Have Spoken, Omnium Gatherum -- Slasher, Powerwolf-- Interludium, Orbit Culture -- Descent, Green Lung -- This Heathen Land, Twilight Force -- At the Heart of Wintervale, Crypta -- Shades of Sorrow, Strike -- Break the Chains, Frozen Crown -- Call of the North and Exmortus -- Necrophony.
Even with 25, I left off a LOT of good stuff.
good stuff mate - thanks for reminding me as I meant to check out that new Blood Ceremony
Lovely channel dude, I am watching all your videos from start to finish! Nice selections too. Did you check out the Medieval Death LP + DVD and the Mordicus “Rights ‘n Trials” LP on Yperano Records! What is your opinion on these two 2023 releases?
thanks mate I appreciate it - honestly I haven't heard either MD or Mordicus album so I'll check them out soon
Great time investment as far as I am concerned, great but sadly very obscure bands. However both vinyl LPs kick ass!@@mendicantmedia
ua-cam.com/video/Ot4eaS1Eg_o/v-deo.html
Dude, you have to check out Mortuary Ghoul's friends with the dead if you love Mortician! Came out in 2023 and it's my AOTY
listening now and yeah that's bloody tasty so thanks for the recommendation - I just received the Slaughtercult album in the mail and it's even more Mortician worship than Mortuary Ghoul so I suggest you check them too grindheadrecords.bandcamp.com/album/meat-head
@@mendicantmedia Certainly! Yeah Slaughtercult rules too!
Agree with Cryptworm, that previous album's artwork was just awesome - it grabbed my attention for sure !!!! Rotten Sound always deliver - solid grind core. I only got into Church of misery for the serial cover theme lol - I'm not a stoner fan at all but I dig them, and the harsh vocals - not got the last album yet though. I have that Thanifaxath on tape , good shit ! Still need to get that Godflesh, got the other stuff - last thing I bought was the cd box set of the last couple of releases. Dying Fetus are just great. I have recently got into later Katatonia stuff, ive always liked the early stuff but started to appreciate the later albums so I will get them at some point. Incantation are just ace. Got Undergang on vinyl now, just need that new split with Spectral Voice. My no 1 album of 2023 which nobody seems to mention is Nocturnal Departure - great stuff
cheers mate we obviously have similar tastes - I don't know Nocturnal Departure but will check them out - looks like their last album came out 30 Dec 2022 so probably why not on any 2023 lists :)
@mendicantmedia aye, but didn't get it until 2023 lol - its ace mate
Well done! Excellent list and congratulations on a great year in the VC!
thanks mate I've enjoyed putting out more videos this year
EVIL INCARNATE-LUCIFERS CROWN
thanks for reminding me to check them out - sounds pretty tough and evil
I've been quiet this year on the music front with my 2 month Euro trip and planning it. Some great albums though
I think black metal was killing Death metal in the first half of the year and they kept it consistent with awesome releases throughout. But the second half of the year there was an insane amount of awesome death metal. I honestly can't decide which one had the better year. I know most seem to say death metal but it's usually people that flat out prefer death metal or haven't seeked out much black metal this year. I'll happily make a long list of black metal recommendations from this year if you like? Haha
cheers mate that'd be ace
AsinHell impii hora is awesome check it out
Old school death metal
Enslaved : heimdal is good to
Cheers I’ll check them out. I forgot about that Enslaved album so I’ll give it another go
Truly awesome list. We have similar taste in Death Metal. A great year this year for the genre. So much good releases!
cheers mate - yeah heaps of death metal and I no doubt managed to miss heaps too - I should really do another video in a month or so of all the bands I discovered from other peoples lists
Great stuff mate, keep it up!
cheers Dan
Cheers for the content this year mate. Keep it up
If you taking requests, I'm a sucker for lists, so the top Aussie releases vids were great. Loved the bloodduster retrospective and top label releases as well. How about your top Aussie BM releases? Top Warhead releases? Will hopefully get that unreleased Misery album this year so a Misery retrospective?
I do have another Aussie metal one planned soon and will one day get around to an Alchemist retrospective - I like your ideas though
Is it just me, or has all mention of Hirax been scrubbed from the DRI flyers and ticket websites???
Oh, and Autopsy...FFS. 😃
Yeah I checked after I recorded it and seems Hirax aren’t coming now which is a bummer. DRI will still rule
