Great list there Jurgen. It's good to see a lot of the bands who have been around for a few decades still putting out excellent albums. The likes of Obituary, Overkill, Metal Church and Cirith Ungol all worthy of being in the top 10.
That’s a great top ten Jürgen… & proves what another great year it’s been for metal eh! Sadly for me tho… there are far too many in your list that I still don’t own & really need to pick up! Good to see you sir!🤘🏻
Super Video Jürgen, gute Liste wobei die meisten darauf dieses Jahr bei mir nicht gezündet haben. Bei mir hat dieses Jahr die totale Entschleunigung eingesetzt. Deswegen: 1 Eremit - Wearer of Numerous Forms (Funeral/Drone Doom) 2 Mansion - Second Death (Dark Folk/Doom) 3 Wolfennest - Dark Path to the Light ( Psych/Ritual/Doom) 4 Oath of Crane - Unsung Mantra ( Celtic Frost / Indischer Folk) 5 Wolf Prayer - Spell of the Crimson Eye (Stoner/Psych) 6 Sycomor - Antisweet (Sludge) 7 Cirith Ungol - Dark Parade (Epic Metal) 8 Berlin 2.0 - Scherbenhügel (Punk/ Wave/Heavy Rock) 9 Marthe - Further in Evil (Punk/Bathory Viking Metal) 10 Satanic Witch - 4:44 (Ritualistic Athmospheric Black Metal) Gutes neues Jahr und ich freue mich auf deine Videos im nächsten Jahr.
Gesundes neues Jahr! Außer Cirith Ungol und Wolfennest (geile Liveband) kenne ich keine Band. Kann ich verstehen, das mit der Entschleunigung, geht mir auch ab und an so. Meine "Roots" sind seit 1987 einfach "normaler" Heavy Metal und Thrash Metal. In den 90ern habe ich viel alten Prog / Psyche entdeckt und bin darauf auch hängen geblieben, hahaha... Die letzte zwei/drei Jahre kommt allredings wieder der Teenager ins Licht. Midlife Crisis??? Hahahaha... Wolf Prayer und Marthe klingt interessant, werd ich mir mal reinziehen. Danke für die Tips!!!!
So pumped to see Inculter on this list! easily one of my favorite records this year - first and foremost a real THRASH record. 💯agree with how great that record is!
I love the album so much, I am tempted to buy the CD as well. I am a Thrasher since 1986/87 and this album blew me away! Way more than anything from the big clowns that are still around, hahaha....
5. 'Death Pill' by Death Pill 4. 'Horned Lord of the Thorned Castle' by Moonlight Sorcery 3. 'Yallah Beibe' by MC YALLAH 2. 'Sator Arepo' by Judgitzu 1. 'Seasons Dreaming Death' by GraveRipper thanks for sharing your thoughts
Hi Eumel. You got me curious, as usual. Obituary, Cirith Ungol, Megaton Sword are also on my list, but I have to check out Inculter, I haven't come across this album until now, it's from December and somehow I missed it. Fully agree about the vinyl publishing market and album prices. I also have no intention of playing their game - this year I bought embarrassingly few vinyls... Besides, the prices of CD's are also unacceptable... Happy new year, stay healthy and safe. Tschüss.
Hey Fozzie! Happy New Year, I hope you´re doing fine! Yes, prices for vinyl and CDs are too high! I haven´t bought the new UDO just to give one example. I would love to have it but not at any cost! There are still a few distros that have ok prices but how long will that last???
Hi Jurgen!!! Very cool list a nice mix of styles and band i know and some i need to check out too..... To me the highlights are Metal church, Overkill and Cirith Ungol. When you were talking about the release you forgot from the first video and talked about one song i was scared you were about to show the new Beatles song, lol...... cheers and be well
I totally forgot about the new Beatles song! It would have made my Number 1!!! ... just bull s**tting, hahaha.... The Overkill album is outstandingly good, it was my top choice since it came out!
Great list! Cool to see Cruel Force, picked up all three of theirs, great band! I have completely missed Rotten Casket, Van Drunen is probably my favorite vocalist and love everything he does, so a big thanks for that! Vielen dank!
I love the new Cruel Force but struggle with the first two... Yeah, Roger pointed me in Rotten Casket´s direction. Otherwise I would have totally missed them. The thank you goes out to Mr. Kjorvik!!!
Cool list Jurgen! I actually have listened to that Overkill album, and I thought it was great! I'm pretty late to the Overkill party but I do really like them. The only other albums I've heard from your list are the Cannibal Corpse and Obituary, they're awesome! I wanna check out some Voivod I've never given them a chance, the rerecording album might be a good place to start. Cheers man, see you next year!🤘🏻🤘🏻
It will take some time to get into Voivod, trust me! I have a friend who hated them for 20 and more years, I mean really HATED everything they´ve done. I tried to convince him for decades. Now he´s one of their biggest fans and owns everything, hahaha...
@@albertampel4175 Ahh ok, I'll take your word of warning. I've heard they're a band you either like or not, or it takes along to get into them. I'm willing to give them a try at least. Haha wow, that's a crazy turnaround from hating them to owning everything by them! 😀🤘🤘
Deutch? Kein problem Mein Herr. Chaos Horrific is pretty damn good. Do like that Cruel Force, killer sound on it, sounds like the eighties. Quality album by Obituary, and of course Enslaved, and very nice to see Inculter, killer album. And ending with a Overkill, not counting Voivod, haha. Very nice list Jürgen. Happy new year! Cheers. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I´d love to answer in Norwegian but it´s rusty.. well, nonexisting to be honest, hahaha... Thank you again for pointing me in the Inculter direction again, I´ve since bought their second album as well...
Great list Jurgen…Nice to see Metal Church I actually purchased that Cruel Force album this morning, it sounds great Love the Obituary album , my #1 of the year Cirith are cool motherfuckers, great band Great list Jurgen..that Voivod is great Happy New Year 🍻🍻
Thank you Marty! I don´t like the first two Cruel Force records, too "black" for me. This one blew me away. Straight forward Metal, the way I like it, HA!!! NOT ONLY THAT Voivod is great, hahaha.... just wait for the Metal Tag 2023 video, hahahaha...
Nice list there. I really enjoyed the new overkill, but it didn't make my list. The new Uriah Heep was good as well. It was a good year for prog rock as well Happy new year to you as well and best wishes
Happy New Year to you as well... I totally forgot the Uriah Heep album, s**t!!! Also I still need to hear the last Magnum album... Thank you for the Riffobia recommendation!
@@albertampel4175 Magnum is one of those bands that i know i might like, but i still need to check out, like saga. I also need to check out the new Eloy. i haven't done that yet. It is more curiosity than expectation : )
I agree that new record prices are insanely high and I have been using RU-vid and Spotify for a couple of years now to check out stuff first before I spend my money. I don’t think I picked up enough new releases to even make a top 5 list this year 😂 happy new year mate
Happy New Year Brendan! Fortunately there are a few Euro distros with fair prices but all in all I don´t play that game anymore. Enough is enough, hahaha... Sometimes I only get the cassette version of an album. By the way, check out that Inculter album, it will drag you back to 1989, hehehe...
Careful you don't get drunk and set fire to the place! Quite a few I've no idea about on here but I did stream Metal Church and Overkill when they first came out. I think my next buy will be Judas Priest. The OG thrash has ground to a standstill. Way overpriced. Happy New Year. I'm going to sit with a glass of wine now and try and listen to something.
Don´t worry Mike, I am a professional, hahaha.... I´ll get the Priest album as well and the new Dick In Son too. Indeed, I´looking for a couple of old Thrash OGs as well, no way I will pay these prices!
Coole Liste Jürgen! Die neue MC gefällt mir auch ganz gut. Das Cirith Ungol Album gefällt mir auch gut. Übrigens: die spielen auf dem nächsten Keep it true. Das ist doch nicht zu weit von dir oder? Ist glaube ich auch die letzte Europa-Tour…
Danke Tom! G´sunds Neus... Ja, KIT, hmmm... ich hab da früher sogar am Tresen gearbeitet und die Bands, die ich sehen wollte vom "freien" Balkon aus angeschaut. Meine Freundin arbeitet da immer noch. Der Oli, Tarek und Heiko sind ganz alte Kumpels aus den 90ern. Mit dem Heiko (KK Entertainment) habe ich 17 Jahre lang bei Final Breath gespielt. Ich bin einfach raus... Ich war über 30 Jahre lang immer und überall, es hat einfach gereicht. Ich habe die Konzerte Ende 2019 schon nicht mehr genießen können und kann nicht mal sagen warum. Wir hatten das Thema schon mal, oder?
Hey Jürgen, verstehe ich schon deine Punkte. Hat sich in deinem Video so angehört, als könntest du bei Cirith Ungol eine Ausnahme machen 😉 ich wünsch dir au no A guads neis!
Totally agree with what you said about Inculter but the album kinda loses the focus because of that long title track. I still like the previous album better. Apparently, the only 2023 record I bought so far came out as an independent cassette in 2022 and was released this year by Dying Victims. It's the Emissary s/t EP from Finland. In case you haven't heard it yet, it's a weird cross between early Manowar and Agent Steel. Brocas Helm level of weirdness. Cheers & Happy New Year!
I did not know Inculter´s second album but I have it now. Great little piece of Thrash fuckin´Metal! What a shame I ignored them since the debut... You spoiled me with your description of the Emissary EP, sounds right up my street! Thank you.
