My Non-Metal AOTY list (3/4)
2 Skunk Anansie The Painful Truth
RockSkin delivers again, and again and again. Pick whatever track and it's a banger. So raw, real and with no punches pulled.

My Non-Metal AOTY 2025 list (2/4)
3 AFI Silver Bleeds the Black Sun
Darkwave, Post-PunkEvaluate each band/artist by the album you are listening to, anything before or after can wait ;)
Very 80s goth, with Sisters, Mission, Bowie and Bauhaus vibes with a modern feel. Filled with earworms galore!

My Metal AOTY (7/7)
1 Stick to your Guns Keep Planting Flowers
Incredibly short, but it spares nothing in the performance. I'd much rather have the complaint that something was too short than it had fillers.
This is my most played album & no matter what I am doing at the time it never stays in the background. It always pulls me full force into the emotions & there's one song that always leaves me raw, in a cathartic way.
If NIN was the emotional "noise inside my head" in my twenties, then this is the soundtrack of my complex emotional processing for 2025

My Metal AOTY (6/7)
2 Dimscua Dust Eater
This blackened doom is brutal in the best way possible. An instant hit as soon as it started playing and when you find out more information it becomes understandable & even more soul wrenching.
This really did fight hard to be number one, and it was so hard to put it onto second place

My Metal AOTY (5/7)
3 Battlesnake Dawn of the Exultants and the Hunt for the Shepherd
This is feel good metal artistry that manages to take itself really seriously, but also not seriously at all.
Epic feel good with killer earworms that will leave you grinning for days.
Shout out to the band for having Samuel Frank do the album cover artwork, it's just as epic as the music.

My Metal AOTY (4/7)
4 King Kraken March of the Gods
Old school vibe, but with a modern feel. This South Wales band hits hard with an album so full of monsters and riffs that it's hard not to grin and holler along ;)

My brain remembered this song & wanted to listen to it, even though I couldn't remember enough info to find it again.
However, a quick check with @SimoRavens19 and giving him the minimal info I had meant he found it 🎸 Thank you!
It's bouncy and rocky and my choice for today's #FunkyChickenFriday as it definitely gets my head bobbing like a chicken 🐔
