Best New Underground Metal Releases September 2022 | Phobophilic, Miscreance, Cruz, Toadeater, Sonja

[@Soaknier]

I listened to Miscreance once and still can't recover. These guys are amazing

[@2DoobsMcJubes]

They sound remarkably like old Pestilence, if you haven't gotten into those guys try testimony of the ancients. Killer stuff all around

[@DesertWastelands]

cheers!

[@helljean96]

Same!

[@axinth]

ALICE TE GO SGAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

[@Soaknier]

@@axinth ADORO VECIO, MA NON HO BEN CAPITO CHI SEI TU PERÒ DAL CANALE

[@adicto5790]

I just received my copy of Toadeader. I probably would never have heard of this band without you. so thank you very much!

[@markgilbert9769]

Lots to check out. THANK YOU Blayne for what you do. Not only are you entertaining, your taste in METAL is very similar to mine in many areas.

[@Emil-ko2fv]

The singer of Miscreance sounds so much like Martin Van Drunen

[@dethronedemperor]

I had to go check metallum to make sure it wasn’t Van Drunen

[@Fo-Flats]

Like Van Drunen with a touch of John Tardy. Great voice!

[@waynelengyel8043]

He's close, very close but not EXACTLY van Drunken.

[@MacYTMetal]

Stoked to hear the Phobophilic album. Gonna check out Toadeater now. Thanks again Blayne!

[@tylercraig5633]

Been looking forward to Phobophillic for a long time! Can’t wait for the new album! Behemoth, Phobophillic, Autopsy and Revocation are all on my list

[@Glitteryy]

Thank you, Blayne. Wil be checking out Phobophilic, Toadeater, and Sonja for sure.

[@hugo254]

Great recommendations Blayne, among the best I've seen on BangerTV recently.

[@bradbaker4679]

Yeah, definitely better recommendations than the Vampire guy and “Doc” from Back to the Future!

[@hugo254]

@@bradbaker4679 the vampire Guy hahah. And he insists to use that red eyes lens... If at least his recommendations were as good as Blayne, but whatever, to each his own.

[@Hideousspawn13]

Toadeater sounds really cool!! I’ll be checking them out for sure

[@RongBipper420]

Stoked for The Nine Choirs by Tribal Gaze and Philosophical Collapse by Innumerable Forms coming out the Friday 🤘🏾 great list Blaine

[@electricwarrior6991]

It’s not the guys in Phobophilic’s first band but I guess it’s kinda their first death metal band i guess. A few of the members were in hardcore bands for years leading up to forming Phobophilic but it might actually be the vocalists first band. They’ve been a big part of the Fargo scene for quite a while and I’m stoked to see them getting this level of recognition.

[@tallulahbeaverhausen4382]

A new Blind Guardian ? I guess we'll soon see Sarah... I'm gonna listen to Miscreance and Toadeater. Thanks for the recommendations, Blayne !

[@MetalComedy]

Happy to help!

[@cookiemonster749]

8:00 is precisely why I love BangerTV. As an amateur music journalist in reviewing metal records I probably would have never caught wind of Cruz had I not checked out this video. Going to make sure I get Cruz for a review.

[@derekj5580]

Thanks, Blayne. Appreciate the effort. Toadeater is awesome. Their previous album was also excellent.

[@ronniebby3148]

I almost thought this wasn't gonna come, and research streams ready to go. Mega list Blayne again!!! Thanks

[@ronniebby3148]

Toadeaters returning the crown was great too, as one of my fave post black.

[@MrLando0]

Me too, glad it did.

[@MetalComedy]

Better late than never!

[@rebelshred]

Finally. About time Blayne I was worried you weren’t gonna do a metal monthly. I actually need this video weekly yknow considering how much metal is pushed on Bandcamp these days. Also, the record I have says Idle Hands too, so Idle Hands they are.

[@Frogmonkey095]

Things I'm looking forward to this month. End of the month is completely stacked. In Grief - An Eternity of Misery (9/2) Mardelas - Mardelas IV (9/7) Herbstlethargie - Melancholie im Blattfall (9/9) Ares Kingdom - In Darkness at Last (9/15) Gnipahålan - I nordisk vredeslusta (9/15) Sumerlands - Dreamkiller (9/16) Hadopelagyal - Nereidean Seismic End (9/19) Abhor - Sex Sex Sex (Ceremonia Daemonis Antichristi) (9/23) Frayle - Skin & Sorrow (9/23) Live Burial - Curse of the Forlorn (9/23) Thulsa Doom - A Fate Worse than Death (9/30) Spectrum Mortis - Bit Meseri - The Incantation (9/30) Seax - Speed Inferno (9/30) Power From Hell - Shadows Devouring Light (9/30) Pestlegion - Sathanas Grand Victoria (9/30) Lord of Confusion - Evil Mystery (9/30) Hussar - All-Consuming Hunger (9/30) Firtan - Marter (9/30) ColdWorld - Isolation (9/30) Darkest Era - Wither on the Vine (9/30)

[@MetalNeverDieswithMarkA]

Blaine loves his black metal and mustaches

[@bradbaker4679]

These recommendations are sick !!! Blayne you are by the the best banger by far!!!!

[@robertshirley9132]

Thank you Metal Monthly! Best dang show on the Tube! 👏

[@Coop-tu3mj]

Thanks for the heads up on the CLUTCH release!!

[@C.good2damax]

gawd daaannnggg you good at this BLAYNE. BADASS! TY!!!!!

[@calebbegley3833]

Toadeater sounds pretty cool (though, in stark contrast to Blayne, I actually love that pretty, Alcest-esque post-black with a ton of atmospherics, lol).

[@sgc36]

Well worth the wait. Checking out all recommended bands

[@Hellenicheavymetal]

An Abstract Illusion was great. Looking forward to Wolfheart.

[@endlessorbaggins8223]

I've been listening to Woe from AAI couple times since I saw it suggested on Bangers. Really enjoying it!

[@nlwrigh]

Woo-hoo, you're NOT a missing person after all! Got the Megadeth, Ozzy, Bloodbath and Revocation albums so far, Heads For the Dead still on order!

[@MetalComedy]

You found me!

[@ishtiaqueabedin2413]

I am - eternal steele is the best album of this month if not this year

[@bradbaker4679]

Yes, love that album too!!!

[@Fo-Flats]

Cruz channels that old Entombed spirit hard. Well done!

[@dozer0382]

Toadeater rips, thanks!

[@bobsala7780]

Let me see if I have this straight. Blind Guardian was released on Nuclear Blast, then Nuclear Winter released Cruz, then Cruz del Sur released Sonja.

[@antondzajajurca7797]

Tankard will be releasing new album - Pavlov's Dawgs, on September 30, 2022

[@dasbeard6667]

The new Innumerable Forms album, Philosophical Collapse, is going to be one of the best death metal albums of the year. Out 9/16

[@HankFacepunch]

New Behemoth is great, front to back. Got my copy three days early in the mail.

[@rowanrobinson]

That Cruz song sounded sick. Looked them up on Spotify and they have 106 monthly listeners........ wtf!

[@MCKretin]

Saw Phobophilic before Covid. So good. Sadly have lost my tshirt.

[@MetalComedy]

Good excuse to buy more merch though!

[@justynfogarty6209]

Dude i cant wait for that phobophilic record

[@goora1866]

Bexadde is such a great album

[@jarunia17]

Wtf was that jumpscare with the KEN Mode cover? hahahaha

[@sightlesswisdom2559]

Damn I wish Melissa Moore would have continued playing Black Thrash, her riffing is some of the best in that genre.

[@Falxifer95]

She also has a death metal band called Crossspitter, they only have a demo for now, but its worth checking out and she brings the riffing with a vengeance.

[@MetalComedy]

Agreed, but Sonja is super strong so my hope is that she has a few projects on the go eventually with some heavier stuff in there.

[@sightlesswisdom2559]

@@Falxifer95 Hell yea, will check them out.

[@darkwanderer326]

Rumpelstiltskin Grinder had some great riffin too

[@careful...Icarus]

Sonja...she? I wanna say no.

[@austinlight5054]

"Have a listen." Goes straight to commercial 😂

[@chloeferguson9015]

Check out "burn in hell" by "Foxor", came out this month, wicked sound!

[@Orangeokie7]

I'm guessing Sarah will be reviewing the new masterpiece album from Sumerlands and that's why it wasn't mentioned in this video?

[@FlabbyPigLegs]

Stoked for Autopsy’s new album their single slapped.

[@BruceWayne-tp8hu]

another great release this month is the new innumerable forms record. i bought it early at their euro tour, its some of the best deathdoom ive heard in a while

[@nazerlife3665]

wow that phobophillic song is sick!!! good pick

[@Bumzen]

lol... I love it when music is technical, as long as it's well written.

[@Undaglibenglaubengloben]

It’s a great month, it’s a great day for Sweden 🇸🇪 🎉❤

[@dk4569]

Never clicked on a video so fast

[@upliftmofo]

Check out Engraver for Italien thrash, fitting for helloween too

[@daverivera5235]

Miscreance is amazing! They sound nothing like thrash but rather death metal. Still awesome tho

[@mattstaup4774]

Haha “no drummer can ever vocalist…” CLASSIC!

[@dylanrostron9780]

At first glance at the clip i thought - is Sonja's band made up entirely of alternate timeline Daniel Dekays?

[@milanbertucci1990]

miscreance really gives me obliveon vibes

[@jmalinjapan7786]

Searching for a Death Metal name for September? May I suggest Septicmember? The picks sound fucking great this month BTW. Gonna be looking out for Cruz and Toadeater that’s for sure!

[@MetalComedy]

Haha that's a pretty good one!

[@jmalinjapan7786]

Doesn’t smell like a good one though. 😵‍💫

[@Jasx_501]

Always love the sass and new monthly metal (without nu metal), Blayne!

[@necessarycynicism6304]

That snippet of Miscreance did not read as thrash to me whatsoever. Seemed like some textbook Death-style progressive death metal. But what do I know?

[@rockman22]

Thought the same

[@Aqwafresh4855]

Other songs have parts that are more thrashy, the line is blurred with that album imo.

[@danarchy4all930]

You guys gotta check out the new Barn album Habitat. It’s a banger.

[@strangeskills]

Miscreance very good !

[@laertesdd]

Read the Vs like Us. Opus Contra Naturam.

[@theambivalentsocialworker]

Hey Blayne. Great sounds and show. Top do! Thanks for the usual palate cleanser. Sonja sound like Cauldron......from the clip anyway.. FYI prefer Cauldron. 🤘👍

[@bruffyb3796]

Miscreance sounds like full on Death worship. Got Chuck style leads all over it. I'm going to put on Human...

[@jmhanelineiv]

Wolfheart - King of the North on the 16th!! If you like Finnish metal and melodeath, you'll like this.

[@Bigmay85]

Sonja! F yeah! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@matthewporter8141]

All these bands sound great and will be checking them all out. But . . . WARFORGED! WARFORGED! WARFORGED! WARFORGED! And I AM.

[@rockkiall]

Death Metal September! Death Metal superiority!

[@kaceyburke7484]

You forgot one of my favorite bands. Gearea. Bm from Portugal. Their 4th release is out later this month. It's epic. Please review.

[@Kroccan]

What i really wonder is how many metal t-shirts Blayne have, anyway pretty rich metal monthly !

[@jhenderson4577]

No Wolfheart?

[@manynukes11]

I was getting worried you got lost or something

[@StevenSeagull123]

Sonja rocks!

[@tonytoofast]

New End split, Bloodbath and Stray From the Path. Tasty.

[@bwrbassscreams]

Dont forget The Callous Daoboys new album Celebrity Therapist, it is excellent

[@org0th884]

sumerlands should have been the palette cleanse

[@INTOTHEPIT]

Is the label called NUCLEAR Blast or NUCULAR Blast?

[@HeavyMetal-jy4vj]

Blayne check out this band called Fyre Toolz, its insane, like 1990s sitcom theme songs meets wicked blastbeats and black metal drones. I admit I saw it on Fantano but its not Fantanocore at all.

[@tylercraig5633]

Gotta shout out the new record Dimensional Bleed by Holy Fawn! Currently my #3 album of the year

[@chkchrycla]

Better late than never.

[@MetalComedy]

I'm here!

[@kryptic9056]

Sonja reminds me of Cauldron - In Ruin. Check em out !

[@tonyrowland3100]

Review that new Autopsy Blayno.

[@formatcnow]

Yo Blayne, What's going on on this vid? You sound tired or stoned.. or something :P Great music an video tho! Miscreance singer sounds like Martin van Drunen 🤘

[@jmalinjapan7786]

I thought he sounded super low energy too. Kinda phoning it in almost. Blayne mate, we all hope you’re well!

[@MetalComedy]

I thought the same thing watching it, but don't remember anything feeling different haha. Guess I got a bad sleep?

[@chrisfriesen5461]

Probably the air show

[@spencergrady5501]

Is the new Darkthrone out this month?

[@joeln901]

10/28

[@unassepikus9703]

One of my favorite Italian thrash/Speed metal bands is Baphomet's Blood. it's like satanic Motorhead lol

[@LaylaLover90]

6:00 Hey, if you want some MORE Italian thrash, look no further than 'Children Of Technology' 🍕🍕

[@absolutedeafness1173]

Miscreance is basicly pestilence, pretty good

[@thewitchpolyglot6625]

Sonja is the best one from here

[@directedbyxanderjones8329]

My brother's name is Cruz. I'll have to show him that band. Lol

Have you heard of Rottweiler Records? I highly recommend you check them out!

[@careful...Icarus]

So Sharon has wheeled Ozzy back into the studio all Weekend at Bernie's like to churn out another lp of drivel,cuz she needs some new jewelry eh?

[@ravensoulmetal8466]

Probably a new face lift.

No love for Innumerable Forms!? Tribal Gaze? Gaerea?

[@LaylaLover90]

Nice talking with you on Twitch my man!! (I am diffiCULTfollowing) 🤘👿🤘

Shout out new Innumerable Forms and Faceless Burial

[@totoyleon7991]

Bro, can you take an ear on Majestic Downfall? and let me your review please? would be awesome to know your opinion as you express sounds :3

[@charlieo.possum5501]

Nice pheasants 👍

[@spiritofthetallhills2037]

No mention of innumerable forms and mortuous cmon blayne i thought you liked death doom

[@joeln901]

Hell yeah!

[@craigroaring]

Miscreance sound and look much like atheist, but with Martin Van WhatsHisName from Asphyx on vocals. Sounds great. Find it a bit strange that it's catagorized as thrash though. I wouldn't call it any more thrash than atheist. I think that in the late 80s early 90s if a band bordered the line between thrash and death, it would be considered death if it had progressive elements. Now the same bands would be considered tech/progressive thrash. I thought the same with Vector. To me they seemed more akin to the band Death than any thrash band.

[@Assimilator702]

Right out of the gate I thought Cruz was the dumbest name for a Metal band. Then along comes Toadeater. Luckily the music is all top notch.

[@careful...Icarus]

Cruz is a good name for a skate punk band and Toadeater is a good stoner band name. Neither are good names for what they are.

[@craigroaring]

Getting Mastodon vibes from Sonja.

[@joshuaclay7245]

Tombcantation ! I see what you did there 👍🏻
