I'm super pumped for Rivers of Nihil! Thanks for bringing Wraith to my attention. It sounds soo good and I'm pumped to give it a listen!

[@aarononon]

Grillfeast

[@cacheman]

"Orbit Culture - Shaman", September 24ish (Seek & Strike)

[@SanskarWagley]

Carcass, Chrome Waves, Succumb, The Body/Big Brave

[@samuelmagnum6047]

Better yet, where'd ya get that sick AF Bolt Thrower shirt!!!?

[@trubieturner7377]

Wraith sounds like an instant-buy for me, but the real surprise here is Laang. That's a brilliant find.

[@jakobforney8891]

From the same city as them I am so excited for their new album.

[@michaelmartinez7158]

Can’t forget Unto Others (formerly known as Idle Hands) and their new album out on 9/24. Hoping Sarah or Blayne reviews that one!

[@princesinhadounderground3945]

You should check the new Redemptus album, called blackhearted. Was released this month too and it is something worthy to check out. Pretty sure it will be mention as one of the best Portuguese albums of the year.

[@tacianasantos2163]

❤️

[@bygonerenewal6278]

Glad to see you covered Warflurch. I’ve been following them since their Lurking Doom EP. I thought they might be the next big thing in DM at that time and this new LP proves that I might be right. AOTY contender for sure.

[@mattiasjohnson356]

I can't believe that you missed that Orbit Culture from Sweden are coming out with the EP Shaman on the 24th on Seek and Strike 🤔 A brilliant band mixing melodic progressive death with some thrash and djemt infusion

[@AcolyteofNightbreed]

Looking forward to the new album from Unto Others. Probably the one I'm anticipating the most.

[@DarkFire515]

That Portrait album absolutely RIPS. Awesome stuff!

[@AirAquila]

Thanks for including Laang! Straight into my Spotify algorithms~

[@Silentxdrone]

I Instantly fall in love with Wraith 😍 thank you so much !!!!!

[@jesperbc]

LLNN - Unmaker releases on Pelagic Records on September 24th. Definitely an album to look forward to.

[@tormentor2686]

Huge fan of them! Good shit.

[@Scott-iw5ji]

Didn’t realize that Carcass was releasing a new CD. Wraith also sounds intriguing. Also, cool Boltthrower shirt.

[@VIGLounge]

I loved the last Wraith album so I'm really excited to hear Undo the Chains!

[@F4RB3YONDM3T4L]

I’m from the future and it’s fuckin awesome

[@kingadam2ez]

September 24: Orbit Culture - Shaman EP. Check it! 🤘

[@U.K.death-and-black-metal]

That Bolt thrower shirt 👏👏👏👏👹🤘 Oh and Wharflurch’s new one is IMMENSE.

[@pedro_rivera99]

So much good stuff during this month, and Blayne "I hate drop shadow and when they say doom death" Smith brought some good picks.

[@charlieo.possum5501]

That's a pretty badass Bolt Thrower shirt hoss 🤘

[@9r0bizzle93]

No Compromise!!!👊

[@thomasharteveld9614]

Orbit Culture - Shaman (24 september), Spiritbox - Eternal Blue (17 September), Rivers of Nihil (24 september)

[@MrLando0]

Love that Wharflurch. A bad psychedelic trip is a great theme for a death metal album.

[@oregonwoodelf]

Daaammnn that Wharflurch is nasty! Kinda has that Temple of the Void evil cavernous death sound to it🤘

[@BangYourRadio]

Orbit Culture & Spiritbox are more accesable and could get more people into metal.

[@gwts1171]

A good month finally! I have been looking forward to both Wraith and the new one by The Body. I'll check out Laang for sure too. Thanks, Blayne!

[@entertherealmofchaos]

Wraith sounded really cool. Good review Blayne.

[@hezgillies1916]

I love metal monthly!

[@kryptikmutation2841]

Hell yea! Some killer releases coming out! Hey Blayne, any chance you’ve heard our debut “Pulled From the Pit”? It was released in May on Redefining Darkness Records! Keep reppin’ the underground!

[@epik810]

Wharflurch cover is by RUSTED WINDS

[@ronniebby3148]

As Darkthrone fans, I'd thought Ted's side project with Sarke would be mentioned. Single came out and album to be released this month. So far sounds good. Lots of good releases too so I understand

[@jessecarlson9529]

I thought u meant Ted nugent😂

[@ronniebby3148]

@@jessecarlson9529 Ted Nugent's avant garde melodic surf trash project obviously

[@jasonberezowski2869]

Blackened Thrash is slowly becoming my favorite genre.

[@AchillesFeel]

Can you share some band names?

[@jasonberezowski2869]

[@AchillesFeel]

@@jasonberezowski2869 hell ya thanks 🤘🏻

[@JaguarW89]

[@taktukk]

The Body is considered big stuff now? Hell yeah! lol

[@Futbol631]

That was my exact thought 😂

[@Frostwulf1313]

Carcass is my big pick. Wraith sounds great.

[@chkchrycla]

Good taste. Totally agree.

[@jessehilton1337]

Damn that Laang song was killer. Will check out for sure. Great suggestions this month!

[@officialdarkcompass]

Got a couple of those. Certainly going to check out Laang.

[@LaylaLover90]

I am STILL waiting for my 'Cattle Decapitation - Homovore' remaster (Cd/vinyl/cassette). Should be out September!

[@joshimawashi]

Bought that Wharflurch album straight away without question...

[@bbarrett71]

You guys need to check out Full Terror Assault Open Air in Cave in Rock Illinois. I just saw Wraith there the other night. Exodus was our headliner and we had a golf cart circle pit.

[@ridleysomeliana-lauer5814]

I wanted to like Portrait more but that singer sounds like a bad mix of David Draiman and Bruce Dickinson

[@sommelierofstench]

that laang sounds really cool. thanks for getting that on my radar dudes

[@sommelierofstench]

and dudettes*

[@derekj5580]

Thanks, Blayne. Appreciate the effort.

[@spencergrady5501]

That Wharflurch is also great. Reminds me of Nocturnus in places.

[@r.c.kozletsky3313]

Lvcifyre - The Broken Seal and Abstracter - Abominion are my two September releases I'm looking forward to....

[@deathmetal0073]

Portraits album cover is fricking beautiful

[@romolo83]

Laang - did you know that means: dopest shit you didnt heard from a long time?

[@Holy_Frakula]

speaking of new drops Blayne you should see the shirt Grillfeast put up on bandcamp. The killing country one. May hafta pick that up lol.

[@FranDurstYeah]

Where is Grillfeast????

[@alfie.6652]

Best time of the month 🤘

[@johnny-fr4pz]

All these picks sound killer to me! I'll have to get on ordering them. Also I just got the new Amyl and the Sniffers Lp and I know that doesn't fit this channel because its punk, but it fucking rules. I was worried their second Lp might not rise to the level of the first but I think it might surpass it. As always great reviews!

[@tjcaruthers5593]

Anybody else here The Four Horsemen/Mechanix in the French bands song?

[@eduardoconcepcion3723]

hail from Panama!! GReat channel , good music!!

[@Jatin__Verma]

Blayne, you made me emotional by giving the reference of POWERTRIP. Rest in Power Riley. Biggest loss to modern metal scene.

[@StevenBeverage]

Inferi-Vile Genesis. The Artisan Era releases always get looked over and it's a crime.

[@timc0821]

maybe because all their bands sound the same

[@Wargutz666]

Hardly.

[@xazmuthx00]

Yes thank you

[@darksunnyside1091]

Rusted Winds did the Wharflurch album cover art. Killer record and wild art.

[@bw_selfish]

Wraith sounds interesting, I'm gonna check that out. On the 10th, the new Daily Insanity came out, entitled "Chronicles of war". Some old school Death/Thrash Metal. I think it's lots of fun. 🤘

[@ChaosTribunal]

Wratith and Tentation doing it for me

[@matthewellis8773]

I listened to that Warflurch album a few days ago and was quite impressed, glad to see it get some Banger love.

[@apoplexiamusic]

yeah it's pretty incredible!

[@kauffeemug]

Wharflurch and Portrait albums are awesome!

[@larch151]

Wraith is the future of metal.

[@fiiuslair]

I'm so excited for Succumbs new album! Their self-titled was was freaking deranged and the new singles sound insane too!

[@PeteHawthorne]

We need to know where Blayne gets his Bolt Thrower shirts! \m/

[@pazuzu603]

Go on Ebay that's where I get most of my merchandise. Usually over seas but that's the only way you get the goods.

[@9r0bizzle93]

Ive been looking as well, but the prints look sketchy.

[@PeteHawthorne]

@@pazuzu603 Many thanks dark one Pazuzu! \m/

[@efogg3]

I'm just here for WHARFLURCH!! \m/

[@metalabstraktcora9587]

Wraith great recommendation!!🤘🖤

[@Rainier-Fog]

Wraith sounds absolutely incredible, gave them a listen on Spotify and pre-ordered the album straight away, thanks Blayne! \m/

[@welldonegentlemen]

Where did you get that BT shirt???!!!

[@isaacjamesbaker]

Took me about 10 seconds into the Wraith review before I paused and pre-ordered that shit. 🔥

[@silverydevil]

for the Tentation album, was that Annick Giroux you mentioned who sings for the band Cauchemar?

[@edwincrain986]

Cool Episode !

[@sureshot1988]

Talking of “self-editing”…reviews were nice and punchy this month!

[@OctoGobbins]

Criminal is releasing their new album on September 10th, its called "Sacrificio" and so far it sounds amazing! You guys should review it because Anton Reisseneger (the lead vocalist/guitarrist) is an absolute legend of Chilean metal and imo a Death Metal pioneer. Give them a listen.

[@Xatalion]

Carcass - Torn Ariteis

[@seanamcdermott7122]

I thought that tentation song was a French cover of The Four Horseman at first.

[@lightbright4996]

HOLY SHIT, that Laang band sounds fucking great! Never heard about them. ''Beyond description of Hell''

[@DethronerX]

Guys, if you wish, let me do post on your final edits of an episode, including all the graphics, images over the video and color edits. One episode, for free.

[@MrAaron194]

Rusted Winds did the Wharflurch cover.

[@ewORX]

I like the guy in these videos. Cool passion for all kinds of cool music. I like this guy’s mannerisms and he’s entertaining.

[@BoennaBornai]

His Metal Monthly research streams over at twitch is hella fun as well.

[@sideshowbobrobert]

when 'heavy metal' first became a thing there were perhaps a dozen or so releases a year (i know because i was there buying most o' that great vinyl); now there are roughly 50 releases a week. how is it that so many go unmentioned (personally i cannot believe that this is the first time this ridickulous question has been posted here...). for my money this month i prefer the one with the beautiful jellies !

[@9r0bizzle93]

Dope Bolt Thrower shirt👊

Wharflurch sounds awesome!

[@juandavitas]

Say "NEW", say "CLEAR". NUCLEAR. Easy as that.

[@cristiandavidballen5678]

September 24th is going to be a hell of a new metal day!

[@arthurporter131]

Does Blayne say “Nuclear” like that on purpose?

[@evergreen9388]

Sweet Boltthrower shirt 👏🔥

[@MetalNeverDieswithMarkA]

Is it me? or does that Tentation song sound like The 4 Horsemen by Metallica??
