Dec 12-18

(As of Dec 15, I am drastically cutting down this list from a new release list to a recommendation list. I get all my info from https://www.metal-archives.com/, from which you can find upcoming releases, and from http://metalstorm.net/home/, from which you can find both upcoming and past releases although it is not as complete of a list compared to metal-archives.)

(I’m still using the rating system although I will likely no longer be listing anything below a +2)
Because there can be hundreds of releases a month style is noted to help you find something you are interested in. There is also my personal recommendation score ranging between -1 to +3.

-1 - not for me or just bad

+0 - not particularly interesting or not that good

+1 - worth checking out if you like the style

+2 - interest peaked

+3 going on my buy list

+4 already bought or pre-ordered

( I’m no Longer covering anything that doesn’t have a cd release )
