[@roxvel17]

Blayne is my favorite psychedelic lesbian

[@kristiankrastanov5995]

the year starts early at Banger, thanks to hardworking boy Blayne

[@BangerTV]

Kristian Krastanov hardest working guy in metal

[@BelieMyBurial]

internet's busiest metal nerd

[@neutney]

i will never get tired of banger tv. every single video teaches me something new. I appreciate all the hard work from the entire crew. thanks for doing it!

[@BangerTV]

thanks !

[@jamesbondarchuk]

That Invictus release sounds great.

[@Gescaduno]

Damn, this Reaper album sounds phenomenal.

[@juanjocastellano2206]

Thanks sooooooo much for such kind comments about my artwork mate!!!! Cheers from Spain.

[@mikeb4858]

"It's my new catchphrase, Synths: If you're gonna use 'em, make 'em sci-fi!" he says as a joke, then immediately uses his actual catchphrase :D

[@BangerTV]

words to live by

[@THernane]

I appreciate this format so much. Makes such a big difference to be able to listen to the song/band in review.

[@silentkraken9766]

I'm glad Haunt got on here,been listening to them since Luminous Eyes EP.

[@brandonferris4512]

My favorite band, Trevor William Church is a fucking BEAST!!

[@TheBoomBoxGuru]

I'm feeling that Haunt song, definitely got to check out the whole album.

[@BangerTV]

Excellent band

[@tingle3444]

its great

[@metallicamaniac318]

I’m so happy to see Haunt featured, they kick so much ass. Seen them live 3 times last year and they put on a show!

[@BangerTV]

We're all fans of Haunt here

[@Weedeater58]

Thoes dudes produce the goods!

[@Litoff90]

I still have to listen to a bunch of records of 2019, and Banger's already giving me more homework. Sweet tee, Blayne. Cheers!!

[@rocioiribe5841]

i feel like i never catch up on Banger homework lol

[@Tutankamion196]

Same here, man. I'll pass on records for 2020 in favor of a few records I missed in 2019. The grind is real.

[@multiplegoblins]

They are like that annoying teacher that always gave you too much homework.

[@Litoff90]

Yeah, but this homework is awesome, although it's a lot.

[@BangerTV]

Glad we're keeping you busy!

[@Falxifer95]

Midnight cumming on January 2020. That's not even my joke, Midnight themselves are marketing their album like that.

[@BangerTV]

Hahahaha

[@DiegoThomsenmetalthom2112]

I'm really excited about the new Lovebites album. The past 2 have been incredible.

[@johnny-fr4pz]

I just got the Haunt LP in the mail and it rips! Looking forward to the Midnight as well.

[@SolarAdrift]

Those vocals in Kaoteon are channeling some Lord Worm savagery.

[@broseph6877]

I love how last year had alot of 70's throwback metal. Now this year has 1rst wave Black metal nostalgia. Can't wait for the newest wave of British heavy metal, and then a thrash revival.

[@BangerTV]

It's all coming...we can feel it too!

[@Jamie.Laszlo]

I feel like Haunt releases a record every eight months.

[@rocioiribe5841]

dude i know right!

[@JoshBM1981]

And?! If it's good it's good.. when did it become a crime to be a prolific musician?

[@Jamie.Laszlo]

@@JoshBM1981 Why are you assuming I meant it to be a bad thing?

[@JoshBM1981]

@@Jamie.Laszlo I suppose I misconstrued the context..it came off as a negative comment..

[@outbreakumea]

No wonder it's so mediocre.

[@fantasticopogueable]

That Kaoteon shit sounds awesome, I need more

[@KingOfTheHumulum]

You can play audio clips again? HEEEEEEEELL YEAH! \m/

[@acexxvii6778]

New Lovebites album Jan 29th!! Really looking forward to this one!

[@Hellenicheavymetal]

Septicflesh and Demons & Wizards are easily my most anticipated releases.

[@rockroll6791]

nice start to the year Blayne...

[@Fastwinstondoom]

Haunt

[@encryptdotwav]

must've missed this masterful album at the beginning of this year, a solo onslaught of a project, Sallow Moth's The Larval Hope. A grotesque concept becomes fully realized, merging dimensions of science fiction with the supernatural, the putrid on your plate, the hollowed meteorite ready to release the maggots who cannot wait to come home to tear into their main course, the feast of soul sucking humanity! I cannot wait for more from this project.

[@Nappa9000]

I always wondered how Adrian's blast beats would sound (don't remember any songs he's done on one), and Kaoteon finally answered that question for me.

[@joshimawashi]

Didn't even know about Kirk Windstein's solo album? Thanx! Invictus is killer!

[@superunknown2812]

Man that Midnight record is gonna kick some serious ass.

[@luisdominguezj7640]

Reaper sunds like a mixture between old Black Nordic Metal and Classic German Thrash, awesome! 🤘

[@jeffnduran]

The Haunt release is everything I needed after a depressing holiday. 💕🙏

[@BangerTV]

Metal Saves!

[@KabukiKid]

Hazzerd's new album, Delirium, released on the 24th too... definitely worth checking out for some Canadian thrash. :-)

[@MetalTrenches]

Reaper is sick.

[@danlord7717]

Midnight will kill everything

[@jeremyraveloarison666]

yeaahhhh!!!

[@lordmetallium9678]

I'm already there FUCKING FAN!

[@BangerTV]

Truth.

[@ImpureContagion]

Holy shit, Reaper and Invictus sounds great

[@JROfDoom]

The best Blayne catchphrase will always be "Cue the goth shit!"

[@TheMatthewg543]

Top picks as always Blayne. That Windstein solo album though....

[@jonthethrasher3470]

The Invictus album is nothing short of awesome! I also love the new Lovebites album. Superb speed/power metal. Japan for the win!

[@chrismckissack8884]

great bunch of albums, cheers guys

[@AngusMacThrasherMetalReviews]

Hey Blayne, yes 2020 looks promising indeed. I will always be indebted to you for introducing me to Bell Witch. Also where’s that 2010’s decade review? It was very hard to pick an overall best album over so many genres.

[@BangerTV]

its coming Jan 31st. its our decade review week

[@craigroaring]

I was amazed to hear the Invictus cover wasn't done by Dan Seagrave.

[@ejimenez182]

Invictus album will be awesome.

[@manutdrule91]

1 album that you have forgotten that you like Blayne, which comes out 29th January on Victor Entertainment and 31st January on JPU Records and that is Lovebites Electric Pentagram

[@matthewgodding777]

Konvent's debut too. Same date i think? Danish death doom.

[@billcowan5539]

Looks like it’s a good start to 2020!! Hail from New York!!

[@noogie1]

Always good news to hear Midnight is releasing a new album. Also check out a band called MOLDER, you might like them, they're pretty good.

[@joshuathomas5302]

Personally hyped for Pyogenesis' album "A Silent Soul Screams Loud". Glad January's looking strong.

[@tjcaruthers5593]

Im digging that Haunt song.

[@BangerTV]

So are we

[@mikeb4858]

The new album isn't due out til March but My Dying Bride dropped a teaser track Your Broken Shore a few days ago and it's fuckin sexy as hell.

[@DragonFist9323]

⚔ MIDNIGHT ⚔

[@gadzilla6664]

New Midnight? FFFUUUUCCCCKKK YYYEAAAHHH!!!

[@blastfiend]

Yo anyone know where the fuuuuuck I can pre-order that Reaper bad boy here in the states? Iron Bonehead's bandcamp only has Ravenous Storm of Piss up there. And I've only found one Swedish site that has a CD/LP pre-order for Unholy Nordic Noise.

[@BangerTV]

Mike Dionne they made it hard! I couldn’t even find a link.

[@Alphatraz8piano]

Happy new year Blayne..the video is great as always

[@BangerTV]

happy new year !

[@lornaraine3570]

Digging the bloodbath shirt 😱

[@giulienk]

Too bad Invictus album is not on sale until the 24th! Will I have ever remember to check back on this video and back on their website in two weeks from now?

[@educostanzo]

According to some of these releases, 2020 is technically 1993.

[@shreddz]

I think this will be permeating throughout the year

[@davidyoung2577]

Love the Midnight! Does anyone else hear GWAR’s Black and Huge in there?

[@eclatshwartzbaumcybertune2063]

David Young ooooh 😊😊😊😊

[@jacobfreden8394]

Blayne. You really should check out Night Crowned for upcoming episode. I think they will contact you soon.

[@petebrown3715]

Blayne! Dude Happy New year and Happy New Decade. 2020🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@BangerTV]

happy new year !

[@spookyghost1882]

Haunt sounds sweet!

[@rawartillery10]

Ok, so far only Invictus caught up my attention, anyway, cool stuff :D

[@QroCop]

No Immortal by Lorna Shore ?

[@wulf.hunter9121]

2020 about to get real weird

[@kessiedd]

Lordi- Killection our 31st January

[@rtremblay87]

Blayne, did you hear Konvent? It's a new all-female death/doom band that just signed with Napalm. They rip.

[@TechnoirGraphix]

Blane it on the rain! C3P0 has some metal competition. JK you're best man! Cheers!

[@benschneider5822]

Loving this!

[@matthewmach1515]

Holy shit, Invictus sounds great!

[@dillonfields7576]

3 statements/questions 1. I like the haircut 2. Sweet bloodbath shirt 3. Why is Mindfreeze not reviewed yet????

[@heavynov]

I'm surprised and delighted to see Kirk Windstein as one of the "big ones". He's a legend and really deserves some more recognition, really stoked for his record. As for Old School stuff, I actually enjoyed War Dogs' "Die by my Sword" more than Haunt.

[@BangerTV]

Kirk IS a legend, we couldn't cover his album on Overkill but wanted to give him a shoutout

[@heavynov]

Haunt's album is great

[@philthyF80]

Invictus is fkn killer!!!

[@yuhaoyang4237]

That Midnight song reminds of James Bond theme.

[@jeffnduran]

I didn't hear it till I read this comment lol

[@ruicoelho404]

Marrasmieli! Best January release

[@gwts1171]

Haunt are great. It makes me happy to see them get a mention here! If you like them, check out Trevor's other band Beastmaker, too. It's a bit more Doom/Stoner. They release a new album or EP about every 5 minutes. The thing is - they're all good! I've given them so much of my money...

[@BangerTV]

Beastmaker is solid

[@GiveUsMusic]

Midnight is good stuff, a mellow Death n Roll?

[@sommelierofstench]

Mark Kessel not always mellow, but check them out. some songs are rowdy

[@eclatshwartzbaumcybertune2063]

Yay!! I like midnight!.

[@billcowan5539]

What’s up with the best metal of the decade results?
