I am really looking forward to the new Wormwitch record! 2019's 'Heaven That Dwells Within' is just absolutely fantastic. I had not idea they had something being released soon, but that is why Metal Monthly is great: it keeps us informed!

[@gavdann1]

Damn straight. It was my AOTY

[@danrobichaud]

WORMWIIIIIITCHHHH!!!

[@BangerTV]

same!

[@peterspalda1077]

"This is basically Obscura if everyone took a bad batch of acid and is dealing with things very poorly." - best band description I heard in a loooong time, they should use it in their promo materials :)

[@MusicOfDestruction]

Too bad obscura is poser garbage

[@BangerTV]

we love blayne.

[@MusicOfDestruction]

@@BangerTV obscura is still shit

[@gwitch]

“There’s a lot of death metal” is my favorite thing to hear. Good month! Thanks for the recs, as always.

[@SolarAdrift]

Diskord's Degenerations didn't come out on the 3rd; it comes out on the 13th. Blayne must've missed the "1" in the promo!

[@elkr01]

Wormwitch has the best *UH!* of any modern band and I will die on this hill

[@BangerTV]

good hill to die on, tbh

[@montychristo86]

Thanks to BangerTV my music collection is now over 300 GB and growing on my 1 TB iPad Pro! I’m proud to be a patron as well.

[@BangerTV]

Ha! That’s awesome

[@VIGLounge]

Glad to see Wormwitch given some love. Diskord sounds really interesting and the one single I heard on Spotify sounds like a disjointed Pestilence song in the best way!

[@TheRealJoeNathan]

I'm can't wait for the new BTBAM and WITTR albums. Not to mention new Iron Maiden, Inferi, Rivers of Nihil, Dream Theater, Cradle of Filth, Archspire, First Fragment, and Obscura coming later this year!

[@BangerTV]

all good choices!!!!!

[@MrLando0]

I saw Wormwitch with Cloak and Uada a couple years ago, great band. BTW metal monthly might be the video I look forward to most.

[@michaelmartinez7158]

You lucky bastard! I still beat myself up for not catching that tour

[@lukeharman7054]

Happy to see Oxygen Destroyer getting a shoutout. Jordan is a good friend of mine and he has worked his ass off to get the word of Kaiju out there

[@gunshow86de]

Hell yeah dude, Oxygen Destroyer rules!

[@turtleonspeed6673]

Banger Tv helps me not to get bored of Metal honestly. It can get annoying to just listen to the same bands all the time.

[@Gabriel-sx8xi]

I love BANGERTV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the awesome work you guys make. Can't wait for Hooded Menace, Diskord and Our Place of Worship is Silence!!!!

[@BangerTV]

Thanks for watching!

[@MeanJoeGrizzly]

My boys in Oxygen Destroyer doin big things!!! HAIL THE KAIJU

[@nigmatumband4053]

Hell yeah Oxygen Destroyer rules! Also thanks for the shout-out

[@marc2519]

You guys are amazing btw

[@DanasLilMakeup]

Definitely looking forward to listo to Anguish ‘s release. Never heard of them before but I FEEL SEEN. Amazing stuff. Thanks lads.

[@seantalbot6]

Loving Wormwitch and Anguish so far

[@derekwitt6948]

I definitely cannot wait for Nunslaughter, Oxygen Destroyer, & Hooded Menace but lots of good releases come out on my birthday (August 27th)

[@Spaghetti_policy]

NuNSlaughter is awesome.

[@derekwitt6948]

@@Spaghetti_policy definitely they are, hence why I got a Nunslaughter back patch on the vest in my profile pic

[@passionateintrovert]

Pretty cool I got a sneak peek of these by watching the Twitch stream. The one I had no idea about, though, was Anguish! Stoked to hear their new one! Their album Mountain from 2014 is very good, too. I think Fenriz is a fan of them if that means anything to any of y'all.

[@BangerTV]

thanks for tuning in here and also on twitch. cheers!

[@fiiuslair]

That Our Place of Worship is Silence record is freaking awesome

[@thrashmetaldad]

Oh man Anguish's logo rules

[@666hellfiend]

No mention of the new Jinjer release on August 27th? Wallflowers? No love for the Ukrainian prog metalers? Vortex might be their best song yet so I'm stoked to hear the rest of the album.

[@BangerTV]

You can expect a full album review.

[@666hellfiend]

@@BangerTV WOOHOO!!!

[@MusicOfDestruction]

BAHAHAHAHAHA jinjer...

[@eclatshwartzbaumcybertune2063]

I feel like i have heard that diskord one .. maybe a previous album .. the cover looks very familiar. It sounds like something i will like.

[@darknessnight1115]

Blayne always bringing the good stuff every month. So many good gems here. Y'all have been great in helping me diversify my collection and supporting some of these lesser artists. Some of these I just hear the snippet and know I gotta get my hands on it!

[@MusicOfDestruction]

Eyeroll

[@BangerTV]

very true, thanks for watching!

[@goregrind1]

No mention of Wormwood on either list, but Deafheaven is? The people you love the most really do hurt you the most.

[@passionateintrovert]

Wormwood actually came up during the stream!

[@rhyslewis4492]

Really looking forward to the new one Nattarvet is incredible

[@SillyNameFoundHere]

Savatage is reissuing all of their albums starting this month. I know they're not "new" but I sure am excited to pick them up.

[@BangerTV]

IN THE HALL OF THE MOUNTAIN KING!

[@metalmike1259]

KK'S PRIEST's 'Sermons Of The Sinner' Pushed Back To October

[@ThatOneGuy7550]

Excited for Deafheaven, Hooded Menace, WTTR and Turnstile tbh. Will check out Diskord and Our Place of Worship Is Silence!!

[@themightydecibel-heavymeta7130]

MIA - WITCHCRYER - When Their Gods Come For You (doom), LUCIFER'S FALL - III (doom) and KILLING - Face The Madness (thrash).

[@28Pluto]

Okay, that Butthole Surfers reference was on point!

[@BangerTV]

YES!

[@michaelmartinez7158]

Yes sir! Gimme that yummy yummy Wormwitch. Their first two albums were so fun and I hope they get even more recognition after this one. Shout out to Spirit Adrift and Hooded Menace as well!

[@mkinne3121]

Spirit Adrift are amazing, even though it's only an EP, still something to look forward to

[@SanskarWagley]

Deafheaven, BTBAM, and WITTR are my picks for this month

[@bg4801]

Excited for Wormwitch, loving Abracadabra.

[@ravensoulmetal8466]

Hooded menace better be good Blayne. I've pre ordered it because of your hyping them 🤣.

[@BangerTV]

and did it live up to the hype?

[@ravensoulmetal8466]

@@BangerTV yes it certainly did. Candlemass are probably my favourite band, so a lot of that classic style mixed with King Diamond and death/doom was awesome.🤘🏻💀🤘🏻.

[@johnny-fr4pz]

Just ordered that Wormwitch Lp. Sounds killer!

[@musicisajourney]

Yay! Wormwitch!

[@personavisceration371]

Diskord always rules. If anyone here wishes Ved Buens Ende made DM records (with less/no clean vocals), then you would probably appreciate what they do.

[@sidsagar7028]

the dates are slightly off cuz diskord has an aug 13 release and anguish have an aug 30th release

[@mrpositronia]

Ningen Isu 'Kuraku' is my album of choice for this month. Above everyone else.

[@dalecoolbaugh8483]

How did they forget Between The Buried and Me releasing August 20th Maybe there not metal enough.

[@Linescapestudios]

Certainly more metal than Serj’s latest release….

[@BangerTV]

Certainly more metal then Quicksand but they rule. Check back here on Aug 20th for some BTBAM love.

[@voislavstojanovski7312]

Qrixkuor August 13 Daemoncus August 13 Nunslaughter August 27 Devoid of Thought August 27 Ruin August 27 Antediluvian September 1 Iron Maiden September 1 Crisix September 3 Wraith September 3 Aborted September 10 Replicant September 10 Teeth September 10 Lvcifyre September 10 Carcass September 17 Wraith September 24

[@pong86r]

Death Metal of August!!!! I fucking love it!

[@joromo666]

Nice to see Blayne back at the office! 👍🏼

[@juanborjas6416]

So many surprisingly good albums this month.

[@MrNiceguyofficial]

Oxygen destroyer kicks ass its like a more thrashy marduk

[@keithbenzie1494]

Fluisteraars’ new one is coming on 27th too - stoked for that. Dutch black metal par excellence.

[@jazlan5287]

I don’t see any mention of Be’lakor, new album coming out August 25th if I’m correct.

[@GundamExplained]

Coolest dancing marionette I've ever seen.

[@pangurbok3686]

Calm down, Jim. The Hollywood film script with a death metal band cameo is in the mail. Sit tight. It'll arrive... maybe.

[@wilfloyd7635]

Oh fuck, way to call me out, Blaine. Literally spent all night slamming back whiskey, chain smoking cigarettes, and putting them out wherever, including the floor of my apartment. This hurts, dude.

[@gwts1171]

Yeah, not much this month. That Sodom EP is the highlight for me. I do, however, love the Tom Warrior-esque grunt in that Anguish song! I'm glad there's a new Deafheaven as well - now I won't have to think too hard about my winner for shittiest record of the year. Thanks, Blayne!!!

[@bobsala7780]

The title of that Oxygen Destroyer album sounds like the band asked Inquisition if they had any leftover album titles that they didn’t use.

[@azaziel9287]

Oxygen Destroyer is the name of the bomb that was used to kill Godzilla in the original movie…just saying. I’m a bit of a fan haha.

[@MeanJoeGrizzly]

Sleep on them if you want

[@ronniebby3148]

My monthly dose of nu metal. Wait where is the nu metal? Anyways much anticipated!

[@eclatshwartzbaumcybertune2063]

Yeah i felt that lol

[@veiled32167]

We need a Lorna Shore review in room 4 stat! EP is a beast

[@BangerTV]

it's very good!

[@yowiesmith662]

This Aenigmatum album is delicious!

[@kryptic9056]

If Jack Sparrow were a real person, hed be Blayne

[@jasontheworldisyours]

Serj Tankian 👍🏿👍🏿💯

[@czanderrr]

OPWIS never misses

[@C.good2damax]

HELL YEAH! This was a good one for August... a lot of good shit.

[@FlorpingAllOver]

No mention of Wormwood or Thyrfing? Mucho disappointed. But i'm super stoked for Wormwitch aswell, blackmetal with Crust influences really speaks to my soul.

[@voxextremos22]

Burial In The Sky, BTBAM, Phinehas, Groza.

[@iannolan2979]

*come to see if he talks about Lorna* “Lorna Shore is releasing And I Return To Nothintness on Century Media” well I mean I guess I got what I wanted

[@dasbeard6667]

Fawn Limbs - Darwin Falls on August 13th

[@FernandoGarcia-xc5xy]

Bro why do you move like c3po

[@pjukas]

Wormwood, not released yet but soon.

[@jjorjj]

Hey guys, no hate at all for not being able to pronounce the cover artists names, but you could at least write it on screen or link to them together with the albums. And also i seriously love these videos, thanks they're great.

[@BangerTV]

I think we’d misspell it on the screen too lol

[@uthgerd666]

Next weeks monthly better include Wraith and Unto Others.

[@robinlove6981]

Some dead bodies album is a killer and unique new death metal band

[@FinalGodsend]

My Favorite Show !

[@BangerTV]

thanks for watching bud!

[@MrDraven37]

Ah Metal Monthly! Look forward to it each month, even if it just convinces me each time no matter how often I look at Death's Leprosy and think 'I should give that another chance..', I really don't enjoy death metal. Unless it's melodic death metal ala Carcass, always have time for that. Just not this 'tech death' or 'avant garde death' that Blayne keeps selecting every month... something different dude!

[@Hellenicheavymetal]

Still waiting for Septicflesh

[@cimmeriakurt]

Where's DUNGEON WOLF!!???

[@UziSuicide666]

Fuckin' stacked month, dude.

[@fredcasassa7433]

Blayne hi Love you brother ! Check out Headshrinker ! If you haven't already. Death/ doom album of the year so far. Out of Denver, not the usual . Frickin great record Incorporating all forms of death metal. It's dark, speaks of mental anguish, anyways have a listen you will love it ! In metal 🤘

[@spencergrady5501]

Full of Hell - or do I have the wrong month? Golden Ashes - or do I have the wrong month?

Jinjer are bland as fuck. They have no songs.

@@niallruane7045 Bland? what :D

[@bones24bd]

Man i was so excited for that Tombstoner release because that single was siiick with a great breakdown but the rest was just really bland tbh

[@aarononon]

I'm sorry to hear this... Loved the single, but ain't had time to check out the album yet. Hopefully I disagree :)

[@bones24bd]

@@aarononon hope you do as well dude! It's not a BAD album, just very middle of the road you know?

[@MrLando0]

I'd add Groza and Crypt Walker

Where the f*ck is WITTR?

[@pekkamela7728]

React Orbit Culture

[@Mark.13.]

Nothing for me:( maybe the last doom metal band worth check.

[@jasonvegan5761]

Was it necessary to twist the nips when mentioning Hooded Menace? I know they’re killer doom death, but the nip twist? What’s next, a sack tug?

[@danrobichaud]

AbsoLUTEly necessary.

[@pedro_rivera99]

Get another reviewer for the Hooded Menace album instead of Blayne, he'll score it 5 or even 6 skulls even if he only listened it for the first ten seconds. Also August 2021 gets a 7.8/10 (too much death metal releases).

[@danteruivo]

there's no such thing as "too much death metal releases"

[@scribeofsolace]

@@danteruivo oh brother there is

[@pong86r]

Oxygen Destroyer reminds me of Xoth

[@MagpulFTW]

"I have no baseline so I will make asinine comparisons between 2 totally different bands." Oxygen Destroyer sounds like OG Deicide riffs not whimsical space travel into the butthole of some eldritch horror.

[@blutausbeherit]

Damn, I think this is the first time I've watched metal monthly and came away with 0 bands to remember. I guess wormwitch or whatever sounded alright but August 2021 looks pretty weak.
