ALBUMS OF THE WEEK! Here’s the albums that got the most track plays out of me. The winner by a hair was Mgła - Exercises in Futility. A modern classic black metal record. Next was Vredehammer’s Violator, a recurring favorite here, and one of my favorite albums of all time. I also played a bunch of 2021 releases, including new drops from Stormkeep, Spectral Wound, Bewitcher, and Mānbryne - all of which I highly recommend and included on my “Top 30” list.

ALBUMS OF THE WEEK! Wraith takes the crown with their fantastic new release, Undo The Chains (a speed/thrash tour de force). Don’t sleep on this one, my friends. Next, I bathed in nostalgia as I digested Metallica’s new Black Album box set. Speaking of reissues, Decapitated comes in at third with The First Damned (a reissue of the band’s earliest demos). I explored new territory for myself by checking out Thulcandra’s Ascension Lost, which has some great melodic black metal to offer. The rest is a good balance of black, death, and doom from long time favorites here. Good week. ☠️ 1. Wraith - Undo The Chains (2021) 2. Metallica - Metallica Box Set (2021) 3. Decapitated - The First Damned (2021) 4. Thulcandra - Ascension Lost 5. Unto Others - Strength (2021) 6. Obituary - Cause of Death 7. Spectral Wound - Terra Nullius 8. Vader - Welcome to the Morbid Reich 9. Hooded Menace - The Tritonus Bell (2021) ☠️ What was on your playlist this week?

ALBUMS OF THE WEEK! Here are the albums that got the most plays out of me. The clear winner (for the second time in a row) was Bewitcher’s Cursed Be Thy Kingdom. This album reminds me of why I got into heavy metal as a young pup so many years ago. It has such great riffs and solos, and the blackened edge gives it a perfect bite. This will rank highly on my end-of-year lists for sure. Next, Black Sabbath has three entries because I am currently going through some kind of Sabbath reawakening and can’t stop binging their stuff. Spectral Wound and Ninkharsag also made repeat appearances from last week, and Sulphur Aeon, Dissection, and Frozen Soul all return with some great releases. Good week. ☠️ 1. Bewitcher - Cursed Be Thy Kingdom (2021) 2. Black Sabbath - Master of Reality 3. Spectral Wound - A Diabolic Thirst (2021) 4. Black Sabbath - Vol. 4 5. Ninkharsag - The Blood of Celestial Kings 6. Sulphur Aeon - Unaussprechliche Kulte 7. Black Sabbath - Days of Evil (Live ’76) 8. Dissection - The Somberlain 9. Frozen Soul - Crypt of Ice (2021) ☠️ What was on your playlist this week?
