[@jasonbarnettart]

Thanks for the mention! I’m the vocalist of Petrification and do all of the art.

[@tomf00lery]

Bro you're tall AF in that band photo 😂🤘

[@jasonbarnettart]

@@tomf00leryI am about 6’7”!

[@meiko_kaji]

Sounds great. Looking forward to hear the whole thing!

[@glennmatlock3503]

I knew I recognized that style! You did the art for the Cleric records. Man, I love those. Looking forward to the drop, dude.

[@Dismal-future]

Bought the wall tapestry for Maul's album.

[@jordancarey5460]

Also, on Feb 9th, Chapel Of Disease release "Echoes of Light" on Ván Records

[@xzandher6812]

Yeah 🤘

[@farsot.official]

Thanks for mentioning us! 🙏 Think, we are not too avant-garde or depressive but it is always great to observe very different references!

[@JusteSimon88]

Glad i found you with this guy... A serious discography to listen to... Got some "Opeth" and "Enslaved" vibe... Thanks!

[@farsot.official]

@@JusteSimon88We thank YOU 🙏

[@independenceltd.]

Iron Curtain sounds like Motorhead meets Venom. Love it.

[@ironcurtain3960]

Thanks for the mention about Iron Curtain!! We love eastern block Metal, Калашников 47 is like a small tribute to all that bands!

[@stealmycorpse]

Nice list. Also, check out this black metal band from Quebec and New York called Departure Chandelier. Their latest album rules.

[@zombiTrout]

Napoleonic black metal.

[@stealmycorpse]

@@zombiTrout It’s so good.

[@wheelsofmercury]

I like the debut record of this band from Texas called Mean Mistreater. They are old-school style hard rock/heavy metal in thee vein of early Crüe and W.A.S.P. with a killer vintage production job!

[@gri7]

I'm digging the Spanish bootleg Motorhead

[@rottingpages]

I'm loving Iron Curtain and Pestilength now, thanks!

[@serialmiller1987]

Excited to hear Farsot and Petfrification. I also want to shout Wandering Oak's albun Resilience. Truly fantastic folk, progressive death/black metal albun!

[@anthonyrensing4585]

That Wandering Oak album came out of left field for me. I was listening with half an ear and a times thought it sounded like Akercocke - Especially the 2nd half of the album - Definitely not what I was expecting but I loved it.

[@serialmiller1987]

@@anthonyrensing4585 Sarah from Banger mentioned them in a video from 2019, and I've been following them since. I definitely hear Akercocke! Check out the previous album Passage Elemental

[@noogie3784]

Big Month new Hulder and Spectral Voice. I got my Spectral Voice early and I can't stop listening to it!

[@Drforrester31]

Same, got it in the mail yesterday. The glossy album sleeve is fuckin slick

[@vince-j]

I'd also mention Vircolac's Veneration on 23 Feb via Dark Descent. Killer death metal from Ireland!

[@angelesoinsectos]

Wow, two Spanish bands on this month's list!! A tope!!

[@duketheclown3380]

Really looking forward to the Ihsahn record.

[@CCL1603]

Auriferous Flame shirt, really cool fucking shirt!

[@johnrohloff8647]

Is it just me or does funeral for a king give iron maiden vibes 🤔

[@MrChrisStingray]

Dying Victims Productions is a superb label.

[@DewtehDew]

Iron Curtain sounds awesome

[@frostogtaake]

Fuck yeah! Haven't listened to Farsot in years

[@IgnatzZwakh]

As someone who never got his Assassins: Black Meddle, Part I LP in the mail, 5:33 triggered some buyer's PTSD.

[@diprosopus8904]

Portal by Stiriah (23rd) The Stone Heart by Obsidian Tongue (2nd)

[@Dismal-future]

Spectral Voice Ghoul Farsot Also I'm going to check out most of these bands you're bringing up... rock on Blaine

[@farsot.official]

🔥🔥🔥

[@karkir-joharkarntkristkark9507]

Borknagar-Fall They came from visions-The twilight robes are the picks of February for me

[@crazybaldman]

I am pretty stoked for the new Darkspace release. They are some of the best in the Atmospheric Black Metal scene in my opinion.

[@PadanFain-yp2yz]

I was scrolling these comments, just hoping someone else would comment before I got to doing it. Absolutely agree. This release has been a decade in the making. I'm actually shocked a well known channel like this picked up on this extreme underground project. I've had the snippets released by their label on repeat. Anyway, it's cool to engage another huge fan. If you have not already, I highly recommend you check out the interviews of Wroth/Tobias conducted on Dev Gohil's channel. Truly amazing to watch...first time he's been on video.

[@ReptilianBuff]

The main album I'm looking forward to this month is Echoes of Light by Chapel of Disease. Their last record is one of my favourites and gets constant playtime. Love the mix of 70s Rock riffs and DM vocals. A perfect blend. Can't wait for it!!

[@tata-ccorreia]

HOLY CRAP GIB ME A NEW FARSOT!!!

[@GoatOfTheWoods]

Yeah Iron Curtain slaps, nice to see them here.

[@PadanFain-yp2yz]

Thanks so much for mentioning Darkspace's new release Dark Space -2.-2 via Season of Mist. Incredible underrated cosmic/atmospheric BM. Pioneers.

[@bbarling]

New Borknagar. Hell yeah...

[@astralmass]

Solid List! I haven't had any albums really grab me so far this year, but these look like some solid picks. I have a feeling I'll be pounding beers to Iron Curtain before long.

[@mikeb4858]

I saw Petrifaction at my local metal dive bar a few years back and they ripped it up. I bought a shirt because the show was so good. Nice to see they are still going.

[@lolfk8779]

Let’s go for Pestilength !! 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

[@unfortunatelyrob2635]

Surprised Darkest Hour wasn't mentioned on the calendar

[@paradoxicalbum4489]

Double Black Diamond is definitely going to be a descriptor that sticks with me. Ski slope rating is actually pretty clever for extreme metal listenability.

[@Rebar77_real]

🤘

[@lordmetallium9678]

Yeeeeeesss!!!! feb recommendations!

[@tombcreep]

Petrification - Jason Barnett - Vocals and Artist

[@w.bancrofti]

Chapel Of Disease - Echoes of Light (Feb 09) Vircolac - Veneration (Feb 23) Griffon - De Republica (Feb 16) Aureole - Alunarian Bellmaster (Feb 09) Zwielicht - The Aphotic Embrace (Feb 09)

[@MasterShake1441]

If you haven't already, check out the new Theophonos album "Ashes in the Huron River" this Friday. It's the new project from the guy behind the avant-garde mathy black metal band Serpent Column, and he continues that style with Theophonos with some extra hardcore influence. The debut last year, "Nightmare Visions" was great!

[@Prompefis]

Pestilength tickles something in my brain. I like it

[@alexperry4691]

The Obsessed -Gilded Sorrow...Feb 16th

[@goosezen]

At 8:00, that word your looking for is "overture".

[@AlienatedQc]

Calgary heavy metal band Traveler will release Prequel to Madness on the 23d. amazing album, all the songs are hits. Best heavy metal of heard in a long time!

[@erickgonzalez2839]

Really good stuff this month

[@BleachedCoral]

Motorowl is releasing This House Has No Center on Feb 16, definitely psyched about that.

[@CidicVicious]

🤘🏿😎

[@LeroyCReed]

As always, I found something new.

[@Khelben7]

Friday the 2nd saw the release of Solbrud - IIII

[@fun-with-acid]

Y'all gotta do a full review of the new Vitriol album. Early contender for record of the year.

[@kernanandrews3374]

I love Metal Monthly, I look forward to it each month, but for the love of God would someone - ie, any band that's been featured here - please write Blayne a theme tune!!!

[@mercyfulnate]

Me: ooh I like that clip Blayne: this is definitely a double black diamond listening experience, not for the faint of heart Me: 👁️👄👁️

[@Drforrester31]

Petrification sounds fuckin awesome, music kinda reminds me of Ossuarium which is great because they had my favorite release from that 2019 glut of OSDM and they're the only one of those bands that broke up. Both bands are from Portland which has me wondering if there is some crossover between the two

[@ainstein666]

Check Hauntologist-Hollow.

[@carlosjbg]

Missing CONTAMINATED over here, but bravo for Pestilength!!

[@mazikeensmith2606]

TORCHIA - Arcane Magicae out Feb.9th,2024. Melodic Death Metal band from Finland. Hope they come to Germany!🤘🥰🤘

[@GoatOfTheWoods]

Yoo Blaane

[@jacobwaits3559]

YOOOOOO DID YOU JUST REFERENCE FRIGGIN MUGEN. YOOO NOW I GOTTA CHECK STYGIAN CROWN. Blayne YOURE THE FUCKING MAN.

[@pong86r]

I'M SO EXCITED TO GET TO SEE GHOUL FEB 27!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@eddiemaiden4751]

I am looking forward to new releases from Morta Skuld, Dust Bolt and Blaze Bayley.

[@highxfive]

Thanks for the kind words! Death? Doom? Why not both at the same time?

[@msbackitch-463]

Morbid Saint, Swallowed by HELL

[@lonewolf1843]

New VIRCOLAC on the 23rd...

[@messlife_]

So you’re saying Petrification is doom death? Sicko! ❤ Edit to add I’m also a sicko for this Pestilength too. Doombruary

[@cimmeriakurt]

No Dungeon Wolf?

[@KDbooks]

Pestilength?! More like BESTilength

[@tlupher]

Is he using a Mr. Microphone from the 70s?

[@boingobass]

If for some reason you missed fail-lure by Farsot. You have missed one of the top 10 black metal records ever!

[@user-qc4wk2ud2u]

Don't pass on that Necrowretch album--highly listenable.

[@MrLando0]

Is Blayne a giant or are his ceilings super low? Basement perhaps?

[@doomusrlc]

No windows so yea guessing basement setup

[@Drforrester31]

It's a basement

[@inusannon23]

gang gang

[@heafyFUCKINmetal]

What‘s the name of the band he‘s wearing? Anyone?

[@manuels43567]

Why talk about this German avant-garde black metal band so effusively but continuously ignore one the best bands out there (Liturgy)?

[@radiosant]

How does this dude spend 5 minutes talking about that Stygian Crown record without mentioning Maiden?

[@garyoliver917]

Please, please, please pronounce nuclear properly. NEW KLEE ER, not NEW CUE LER

[@craigswensen434]

Gay.

[@jackc9175]

I sure hope so
