Oct 16-22 Weekly Metal Recommendations
If you need even more metal in your life, 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 from our “New Releases” list although I will likely no longer be listing anything below a +2 unless it comes from a very well known band)
-1 - not for me or just bad
+0 - not particularly interesting or not that good
+1 - worth checking out if you like the style, but maybe for everyone
+2 - worth checking out or interesting
+3 going on my buy list
+4 already bought or pre-ordered

Band: Spirit Adrift
Release: Forge Your Future (EP)
Style: Traditional
+2
(sounds good but I will rarely give an EP +3 because of so few tracks)
Oct 20, 2021
Band: Primeval Well
Release: Primeval Well
Style: Raw Black, Southern Black
+2
(This has to be the first time I’ve heard blue grass combined with black metal. I’m interested for sure. Unfortunately I’m not Trv Kvlt and don’t care much for raw black metal. I’d love to here with done with a cleaner production.)
