2023 Best Metal Records

Outstanding

Nameless Mist - Lifeless (Fólkvangr) Solo catchy Depressive Suicidal Black Metal from North Carolina.

Lunar Tombfields - An Arrow to the Sun (self-released) Doomy black metal from France.

Milanku - At Dawn (Folivora) Epic blackgaze from Montreal.

Very Good

WuW - L'Orchaostre (Pelagic) French post-metal.

Bereft - The Great Emptiness (self-released) Epic doom celebrating a fallen brother.

Varhara - Voidflower (These Hands Melt) Blistering blackgaze from Saint Petersburg.

Saver -From Ember And Rust (Pelagic) Post-metal from Oslo.

Ragana -Desolation's Flower (The Flenser) Blackened post-screamo from Oakland.

Liturgy - 93696 (Thrill Jockey) Still bewildering and barely black metal at this point. Glitches and orchestrations galore.

Nothing/Full of Hell - When No Birds Sang (Closed Casket Activities) Shoegaze and grindcore collide on this collab.

Also Good (but probably only for genre diehards and true fans)
