Best New Metal Releases February 2019: Panopticon, Chainbreaker, Abyssic, Deserted Fear, Traveler,

[@Carlzdash]

Do the Banger crew keeps public playlists in digital distribution mediums like spotify? that would be a cool thing to do

[@iannolan2979]

Carlos Lau M. They used to do all the metal playlists on Apple Music but I’m not sure if they still do

[@lostinoc3528]

Yea would be funny seeing all the rap and pop they listen to.

[@BangerTV]

If you search Banger Films Party Playlist on Spotify there's a 60 song playlist thats usually our go to.

[@rocioiribe5841]

Yea Banger you guys should have a spotify account!

[@gfyne1893]

Could you list all the albums mentioned in the description next month? It would make it easier to look them all up without clicking away from the video. Thanks for doing what you do!!!

[@shujima0666]

This is a good idea. Please do this.

[@samchase1295]

More Metal Monthlies!! I love them, particularly the parts where you talk about the "gari" whatever that means. Nice job Blayne!

[@Mike-s5v1c]

Oh wow thanks for the Panopticon headsup there Blayne!

[@travelermetal3586]

Thanks for the shout out Blayne! We owe you a beer (or 10).

[@kurruptsage]

Great call on Traveler. Their track on the Trapped Under Ice compilation rips!

[@cassettiquette6103]

I had heard panopticon once and forgotten the name and it was lost to me for about 4 or 5 years. THANK YOU for mentioning this! I can finally rediscover this project!

[@Reddogsociety67]

Words cannot describe how pleasantly surprised I am by the Panopticon release. Looking very forward to hearing it , Austins work is brilliant.

[@franlovelsimic8421]

It's so good! Wonder how it didn't end up on Scars Of Man...

[@Reddogsociety67]

Fran Lovel Šimić i’ll have to check it out. I have scars of man, one and two on vinyl. Hell yes!!

[@rinarosenman2734]

Go for new SAOR as well.

[@Reddogsociety67]

Rina Rosenman I’ll check it out. Thanks

[@kakashi37]

This is exactly what I want from Banger! Splendid stuff

[@colestauffer2095]

I love this series so much, its really helping me find a lot of music that I wouldn't have found otherwise.

[@Vachao]

I really like this monthly update. Just what we needed. And even with my favourite host Blayne. Thanks, keep it up!

[@vanillapoltergeistsnake]

Desecravity - Anathema, awesome tech death band from Japan and it’s some of the most chaotic and technical music I’ve ever heard

[@MrDreddBeard]

Really enjoyed the video, the show overall is a cool idea. Got a lot of great recommendations from this one as well as the previous and there was just enough metal comedy to keep me laughing while head banging! Keep up the great work, cheers

[@chip783]

Love this show!! It’s a great addition to the in-depth overkill reviews. I would love it if you mentioned the sub genres of the bands you don’t play clips of. Keep up the great work!!

[@davidprime6080]

Nice episode. I've never heard of Abyssal, and I'm not generally a death-doom guy, but I just checked out a sampler of the record Blayne reviewed, and it does sound pretty awesome, so thanks! The concept for this show is excellent, and Blayne is always entertaining and informative, so keep up the good work!

[@davidprime6080]

Abyssic, I mean...

[@dartande]

Love the variety of the picks here, great taste Blayne, and the music in the background works really well for me

[@adrienpiette6746]

Anything BangerTV comes out with is gold.

[@ihansn777]

Love me some Deserted Fear! Nice to see them get some coverage.

[@thegothicmetalhead2877]

I’ll have to check out abyssic before the new album comes out! Thanks for the recommendation

[@ScottOrKaze]

Love this! So good to get all the updates and tips as to what to check out this month

[@BangYourRadio]

Spotify playlist would be great!

[@ironimpactdojo]

Tremendous show to highlight new releases. The snippets contain just enough of the sound, and the reviews remained on point! I second the motion to do a public playlist for this, and any of your other shows, via Spotify! Thanks!

[@paulbione5267]

Excellent work Blayne. Agreed with the others too- A Spotify playlist would be awesome! Cheers.

[@brendonlake1522]

Deserted fear FTW! I'm liking this show, hard to keep everyone happy with a show like this, glad you've got a variety of styles going on.

[@mohkhaled1677]

The more Blayne we get, the happier I am. hope to see YOU next month \m/

[@pong86r]

you see, this is why i love this channel! Traveler is Awesome!!!!

[@shawnhaynes342]

Great stuff. Looking forward to this show every month now!

[@c.w.martin]

You finally mentioned Overkill. Thank you!

[@gregorydraugr8126]

Blayne thanks for the Panopticon, i'm in love with their sound !!

[@UltraViolentHippie]

I’m glad that Candlemass were mentioned and I’m gonna check that band Traveler out! They sound good!

[@bloodoftheimmortal]

Thanks for recommending Deserted Fear

[@joshharasty838]

Saor - Forgotten Path. It is fantastic blackened folk metal. Needs more recognition.

[@magalie9665]

Thanks for the advice! I'm listening to all their albums now xD

[@_onemorebook_]

What about new Saor album?

[@alexandredangvanthu3579]

Not as good as previous ones

[@joshharasty838]

It's just as good IMO

[@DiegoThomsenmetalthom2112]

Not as good as Guardians but definitely better than Roots. Still unsure about Aura.

[@dannyscaglione6233]

Pretty sick album

[@sirjack528]

Pretty good. Not as great as Guardians though but Bròn is an amazing track

[@rocioiribe5841]

SOLD on that Traveler album. ✔✔✔

[@MV-tc2dx]

New "Windswept - The Onlooker" dropped today!

[@RanjanKumar-bu7ws]

Its sick

[@SYMPHONYOFHEAVENOfficial]

Love this show. Great place to get a good overview of some new metal

[@charthegreat21]

Great selections! Thank you for the heads up

[@Breetalitys]

Awesome picks once again. Love this format!

[@billcowan5539]

[@desiraes3192]

Abyssic! ! Thank you for this new find 🤘

[@gipsyavenger9829]

Chain Breakers visuals are from a 1980's movie called" The Beastmaster" staring Marc Singer, Tonya Roberts(Charlie's Angels) and Rip Torn. You're welcome .

[@jeanmartinez4597]

Great groups to listen to. Thanks so much.

[@g6pdthai]

Thank you for Panopticon i so stuck with there stuff now

[@bobberpsycho]

Convictors.....f.. great shirt and damn good sound!!! I like it. top oldschool Metal! 👌😎

[@joshharasty838]

And damn, just took a listen to that Deserted Fear album and it is fucking beast. It is exactly like a well blended mix of At The Gates and Bolt Thrower. A extremely pleasant surprise. Might go buy the album myself now as well

[@AHN-]

damn that traveler sounds nice, gotta check that one out for sure

[@kylekittelberger1417]

New Herman Frank album "Fight the Fear" was released on 2/8

[@loud-planet6489]

So excited about the new Candlemass!

[@tezz434]

Shokran - Ethereal came out today. Shokran is an Egyptian themed progressive metal band from Krasnodar, Russia, and it's their third album release.

[@butterflyplays8174]

Really looking forward to the new Abyssiv Deserted Fear was great aswell

[@soullessSiIence]

Meh. Sounds boring.

[@SpookyApparition]

fffuuuuck, Chainbreaker rules so much! that title track is kicking my ass harder than anything in a long time

[@NeoSpaceJet]

New astronoid album came out on February 1st

[@themetalgator6668]

That abyssic album cover takes you down to the catacombs scary

[@Serphwratt]

Hell yeah Blayne! Killing it! good shit man.

[@franlovelsimic8421]

Love these!

[@brunob.7737]

Very good, thanks.

[@barbarusbloodshed6347]

Oh joy, it's the Metal Muppet with Metal Monthly!

[@goregrind1]

Would've been nice to see Saor mentioned.

[@ItsPascaltheOtter]

Ayyye, I'd love to see the new Astronoid album mentioned

[@javiersantos.a3935]

Talking about "Travelling music", I think the new Beast in Black record would fit perfectly in that description

[@TheOne1Red]

Agreed! Sometimes you do need spaceships and laser beams 🛸⚡️🚀 Abyssic sounds like another winner Blayne. Thx for being my endless source of discovering new Death Doom 💀🖤💀

[@Farath100]

Thanks for the Abyssic recommendation Blayne! Nice to have you on board!

[@zon3ful]

Cool Show so far. I like the genre diversity.

[@erikaxelson1725]

Sweet as stuff Blayne!

[@michaelmishou388]

Please please please review the new Rotting Christ record! It is phenomenal! They’re best by far to date!

[@UnholyMac.91]

I'm looking forward to the new Continuum and the new Relics of Humanity EP the most this month.

[@Makhashanah]

Cheers, Blayne!

[@RashidAlesgerov]

I'm glad Deserted Fear featured in this episode. I mean, yeah they're not doing anything "new" but the latest one and Dead Shores Rising albums were very enjoyable.

[@chrisbutcher5458]

love that Deserted Fear!

[@seanchud]

Suggestion - Can you add the list of releases coming out in the description in addition to the ones you go over in detail? Or maybe post to patreon? I use Google All Access and it blows finding new releases.

[@KeithMcKissick]

Where to get that awesome Convictors shirt?

And more good stuff is coming this year it's going to be an epic year

[@georgebennett1242]

Hair's looking good, Blayne!

[@wulf.hunter9121]

Its awesome to see Downfall of Gaia getting some coverage with this new album. Go get sad!

[@-Vitalis-]

Still waiting for the first Country/Black Metal band.

[@deliciousdishes4531]

Maybe Glorior Belli could be described as what you mean? French bm from the 2000s, check out "Great Southern Darkness"

[@danielcoats2691]

Nergal did a country side project called Me And That Man. That sort of counts lol.

[@deliciousdishes4531]

@@danielcoats2691 well but there's no black metal in that one.

[@-Vitalis-]

@@danielcoats2691 Bring a grim and frostbitten banjo riff!

[@danielcoats2691]

@@deliciousdishes4531 Maybe not in sound but he kept some of the tone and lyric elements. Zeal And Ardor is a great band but they are black metal/blues. That's the closest band that comes to mind.

[@jonpike9502]

OVERKILL The wings of war!!! I can't wait for this! Sounds so much better than "the grinding wheel".

[@KJ-pr1hq]

you guys should really make monthly Recap videos instead, or in addition to this. That way you can rank the best albums of the month, tell us what albums surprised you/new discoveries, and on top of that, people can go check out the albums immediately rather than having to wait and potentially forgetting about them when they actually come out.

[@rocioiribe5841]

More bands! More metal!

[@rarh3643]

Save each video in your watch later and then watch it at the end of the month.. that way no disappointment of waiting! 🤟🏻

[@JeffBarberDigideus]

You didn't mention the new "Moth Gatherer" album which I have pre ordered :)

[@rdubya4911]

Hey banger can you possibly do another channel covering punk, hardcore, metalcore, alt rock etc.

[@DiegoThomsenmetalthom2112]

I agree that sci-fi is better than fantasy. Sci-fi has more room more exploration, and a lot of writers try and create super weird, and philosophical stories. Fantasy, o the other hand, usually is more of the hero's journey and formulatic shit we're all tired of, with a few exceptions like Malazan (greatest story ever told. Fite me) or Witcher. But overall, sci-fi kicks fantasy's ass.

[@cdedc653]

Watch out for ORDOS. Amazing stoner metal, but with occult lyrics., epic vocals, some gutturals, it’s just amazing.

[@angelocalypse_now]

I see Blayne, I hit like.

[@pasha1877]

Please review Crystal Lake new album Helix, it comes out on friday 15th :)

[@mikeb4858]

Great job Blayne. Abyssic looks promising. Is all the audio quality of these releases crap or is that just this video? Distinct "phone speaker amplified in a coffee mug" thing going on here.

[@shujima0666]

I think they're just playing the music in the studio so that's why it sounds like shit.

[@lucasstruna3962]

Hey just joined the patreon cause i love you guys! Can i get my note from Blayne? I didn't know where else to ask

[@matejsilny747]

"Ethic of Radical Finitude" is fantastic, recommend you all to check it out!

[@thomashorine9198]

The title contains Traveler spelled with 2 l's, just a heads up. (Might help with people searching, *shrug*.) Now, since I've been *super* helpful, I don't mind once again mentioning Pensées Nocturnes "Grand Guignol Orchestra" as a Feb release recommendation, for those who are looking for black metal to torture clowns to. That Abyssic sounds really good, by the way.

[@rhaibi12]

Fucking LOVE me some Panopticon. So insanely good.

[@phfrixion]

Just subscribed for the Downfall of Gaia mention.

[@joshwrt2029]

Cant find that traveler album anywhere! not on spotify, apple music. anyone got a hook up?

[@travelermetal3586]

Our album will be released on Feb. 22 through Gates of Hell records, you can also grab it off our bandcamp page. DRINK BEER AND CRANK IT!!!!

[@journalofdreams]

Am I the only one noticing a light reflecting off of Ol' Man Blayne's tooth? O_o

[@Debiggliture]

Dude I see all those dudes writing every band down *ahem* I'm one of them.

[@MetalRush666]

There doesn't have to be metal that punches you in the skull?! Whaaaat?! 🤯

[@DEFKONSIXTYSIXlml]

Checkout Critical Defiance!

[@estebban345]

Review the new soen record

[@nicholasromig5506]

Abyssic have a bit of a black-doom sound, which is rad.

[@nicholasromig5506]

also I'm bummed this doesn't include the new Devil Master (which i guess is out in the first week of March but maybe you'll list it as something that's already out)

[@papabillydeth4723]

I thought that helix album said Netflix at first glance

[@nephilidaearanae3665]

Vanum - Ageless Fire.

[@killuandyomamma]

Thank you for the into to deserted fear and traveler!!
