I started last year still loving Devin Townsend the most but ended it loving bands like Anaal Nathrakh, Svartkonst and black metal extreme music the most.

  • @riesa85

    I've wondered for the longest time why BangerTV isn't bigger.. Well I finally got it! You guys are so underground that you call bands like Trivium ,Testament or Dragonforce "mainstream". If you want new fans maybe you should think of branching out to "mainstream metal" a bit more to get some new fans.. As not the biggest extreme metal fan I skip about 2/3 of all your videos because I know those won't interest me even the tiniest bit... This coming from the biggest Amon Amarth fan! And a friend of W formerly of Catenatam Lucem, Cavus and Woland...

Sorry if this came off as assholish, but people like me who haven't listened to many of these bands I'd like to get a better sense of what their songs are like. And intros don't really convey it.

    Dark Tranquillity always releasing great music, no BangerTV coverage. My Dying Bride releases their strongest work in decades after a near tragedy that almost derailed the band, no BangerTV coverage. Heathen returns after a 10 year hiatus to release the best Bay Area thrash album of the year (sorry Testie fans but it's true).. BangerTV no coverage. But a kid in his bedroom releases an "extreme" album on his own label Constipation Records, with high school notebook art and a sloppily scribbled logo, and stop the presses! You have 5 different teenage contributors slobbering all over the most derivative riffs and tired drums, and each giving it 6/5 skulls. You're asking about a democracy project from me, stop ignoring the legacy bands! It almost feels like an unspoken ageism at this point.

      This is a list popular vote from the viewers of the channel. Chastising the channel doesn't really make sense. Testament and Paradise Lost are legacy bands that made the list. Even Anaal Nathrakh has been releasing music for 20 years now.
      On a broader note, things are a bit limited this year as I'm sure you're aware. Coverage takes a hit unfortunately.

      @@kitoyobeni1 This is UA-cam. There are no set rules about which video is the correct video to comment on how the channel generally is performing. But this is not a new phenomenon of them ignoring legacy releases, it's been like this since it's inception. The fact that the viewers had to pick 3 of them emphasizes my point, and it speaks to a larger problem about the decline of metal album sales again. I'm given reasons of time and being short-staffed for them not reviewing more albums, but here we are with a bunch of new faces, each with their own added free time due to the many lockdowns, and the year still comes up short. Video production is a home job, so I hope you'll forgive me if I don't understand why output hasn't remained steady or increased. I'm perfectly fine with 240p videos with potato mics talking about new releases, but the metal surge of the 2010s is ending, and this is the worst year to stop supporting bands who usually rely on touring for income... But then maybe the purpose of the channel isn't to support the metal scene at all. When you find out, let me know what it's purpose is.

    Great list! Only a huge miss. Did you guys listen to “Quadra” by Sepultura? The concept of the album passing through four phases of the band makes it diverse, creative, and sometimes melodic while still being dense, fast, and heavy. The drums, guitars, bass, and vocals are in their best form proving this is the best formation of the band. A 15 album band in their best for sure. The production is fantastic too. Quadra is simply the album that I’ve listened to at least once a week since the beginning of 2020. For me is not only the best album of Sepultura (taking 1st place from 1989 Beneath the Remains) but the best album of 2020.
