#nowplaying #GroupMetalAOTY2024 Invincible Shield- Judas Priest

I’ve never gotten into JP, but I’ve listened to this a few times because it made @tomroberts‘ and @derthomas’ lists. It’s…. really good.

#nowplaying the next entry in #GroupMetalAOTY2024 : Never, Neverland by Unto Others

Gonna be honest, I’m 5 tracks in and struggling.

The group metal AOTY list is already yielding fruit, with an intense few hours listening to Oranssi Pazuzu. (Too many hours maybe.)

For any of my fellow miscreants who still use Spotify, here's a playlist of the #GroupMetalAOTY2024 list that @Kitty organised.

Results of the Group Metal AOTY Top 5 in descending order:

Joint 9th place Opeth and Xion
8 Borknagar
7 The Cure
6 Spectral Wound
5 Unto Others
4 Oranssi Pazuzu
3 Judas Priest
2 Julie Christmas
1 Blood Incantation

We had:

41 metalheads participate

128 different albums voted for

Blood Incantation won by almost double the number of votes that Julie Christmas received

Julie Christmas just squeaked ahead of Judas Priest

As a friend said, is it time to ask Metal Archives to give Robert Smith an honorary page on their website now?

Thank you for joining in and for boosting the call for participation

So. I will try to compile a more expansive list of my favourite albums from 2024 later - but for #GroupMetalAOTY2024 I managed to agree with myself (at this specific moment) on the following 5. I cannot rank them, though. I love them all and I refuse to put a number on any of them 🫨:

• Drowned - Procul His [Death]
• Spectral Wound - Songs Of Blood And Mire [Black]
• Nimbifer - Der Böse Geist [Black]
• Dopethrone - Bröke Säbbäth [Sludge]
• Wolfbrigade - Life Knife Death [Crust]

My #GroupMetalAOTY2024 top 5 are as follows

5 Borknagar Fall
4 Keygen Church Nel Nome Del Codice
3 Vale of Pnath Between the worlds of life and death
2 Unto Others Never, Neverland
1 Oranssi Pazuzu Muuntautuja

For those who have listed yours, thank you so much!

For those who haven't yet, you still have until 13:00 hours tomorrow CET to post it :)

#GroupMetalAOTY2024
1, Unto Others: Never, Neverland (Retro styled goth metal shenanigans)
2, Judas Priest: Invincible Shield (It's Judas Priest so no description required)
3, Satan's Satyrs: After Dark (Fuzzy punky goth type stuff)
4, Mad Daddy: Too Tough To Die (Manx Punk n Roll)
5, Errrrr nope can't think of one.

I've been seeing #GroupMetalAOTY2024 floating around, and wait, the deadline is tomorrow??

My Top 10(ish) of the year is not close to completion yet, but here's an approximation of my Top 5...

1. Myrath // Karma [Power]
2. Sgàile // Traverse the Bealach [Prog]
3. Fellowship // The Skies Above Eternity [Power]
4. Cloven Hoof // Heathen Cross [Heavy]
5. Selbst // Despondency Chord Progressions [Black]

Honourable mentions go to Kobaryo, Houle, Writhen Hilt, Curta'n Wall (which almost made my top 5 for the memes), and オニユリ.

I'd love to write up a "proper" Top 10 this year, like I have back in 2022. Let's see.

#GroupMetalAOTY2024 Okay, I think these are my metal albums of the year. I'm afraid I've forgot someone. (Also, Abandoncy doesn't consider themselves metal, so I can't include them. But they're metal, and their latest album kicks ass.)

!. Zeal and Ardor – Grief

2.Keygen Church – Nel Nombre Del Codice

3. Gaerea – Coma

4. Julie Christmas – Ridiculous and Full of Blood

5.Thou – Umbilical

Too much time away from music this year, so the shortlist is even shorter, but here's my vote for the #GroupMetalAOTY2024.

1. Ulcerate - Cutting the Throat of God

2. Rotting Christ - Pro Xristou

3. Judas Priest - Invincible Shield

Now to spend Christmas listening to the albums that people seem to be nominating most on this hashtag...

omg people doing #GroupMetalAOTY2024, tooting great albums, and i'm slowly working my way through 2022 stuff. here are 5 new records that made this grumpy asshole happy in 2024 so far, no particular order:

Thy Catafalque - XII: A gyönyörü álmok ezután jönnek
Oranssi Pazuzu - Muuntautuja
The Obsessed - Gilded Sorrow
Exist - Hijacking The Zeitgeist
Ulcerate - Cutting the Throat of God

honorable mention: Deep Purple =1. the new guitarist is fire and gillan's voice as good as it ever was

3. Bring Me the Horizon - Post Human: Nex Gen
4. Allt - From The New World
5. Imminence - The Black

#GroupMetalAOTY2024

Not married to this order because there's a bunch of stuff I still need to get to from 2024, most of what I listened to was from 2023, but Knocked Loose and BMTH are fixed, those were my favourite metal albums of the year, probably my favourite albums of the year.

1. Knocked Loose - You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To
2. Bring Me The Horizon - Post Human: Next Gen
3. Bad Omens - Concrete Jungle [OST]
4. I See Stars - SPLIT
5. New Year's Day - Half Black Heart

Ook, this is #GroupMetalAOTY2024 and this is my top 5:

1. PONTE DEL DIAVOLO - Fire Blades From The Tomb (black/doom/sludge)
2. DARK TRANQUILLITY - Endtime Signals (melodic death)
3. EVERGREY - Theory Of Emptiness (prog/power)
4. BLOOD INCANTATION - Absolute Elsewhere (prog/death)
5. GIGAN - Anomalous Abstractigate Infinitessimus (prog/death)

Making a top five is really tough when there's at least twice that many metal albums I thoroughly enjoyed this year.

1. Blood Incantation - Absolute Elsewhere
2. Warlord - Free Spirit Soar
3. Noxis - Violence Inherent in the System
4. Opeth - The Last Will and Testament
5. Vile Rites - Senescence
