Weekly Metal Recommendations Jan 22-28
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

Jan 27, 2022
Band: Malefic Throne
Release: Malefic Throne (EP)
Style: Death
+2
(worth a +3 if there were more tracks, fantastic sound though)
Jan 28, 2022
Band: Night Hag
Release: Phantasmal Scourge
Style: Death/Doom
+2
(it might be a +3, but I’m not the biggest fan of the slower stuff.)
Band: The Mist From The Mountains
Release: Monumental - The Temple of Twilight
Style: Melodic Black
+3
Band: Agresiva
Release: Pánico Escénico
Style: Thrash
+2
(+3 if you speak Spanish, riffs and progressions are killer)
Band: Toby Knapp
Release: From The Aether
Style: Instrumental
+2
(The Morbid Angel influence is killer! I’d easily bump this to +3 if either there were some real drums or vocals)
