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

[@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!

[@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.

[@DarkFire515]

That Portrait album absolutely RIPS. Awesome stuff!

[@thomasharteveld9614]

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

[@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.

[@AirAquila]

Thanks for including Laang! Straight into my Spotify algorithms~

[@VisuallyImpairedGamer1987]

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

[@AcolyteofNightbreed]

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

[@jasonberezowski2869]

Blackened Thrash is slowly becoming my favorite genre.

[@AchillesFeel]

Can you share some band names?

[@jasonberezowski2869]

[@Scott-iw5ji]

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

[@MrLando0]

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

[@Rainier-Fog]

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

[@sommelierofstench]

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

[@sommelierofstench]

and dudettes*

[@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.

[@jesperbc]

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

[@tormentor2686]

Huge fan of them! Good shit.

[@Silentxdrone]

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

[@02.142]

For those into the Laang album who don't read Chinese characters, Laang (冷) and Xinteng (心疼) mean 'cold' and 'to love dearly/to regret/to be distressed' respectively. The word xinteng combines the character for heart/mind/feeling (心, xin) with the character 疼 (teng). This last character can be translated as 'pain' and is composed of separate elements meaning 'illness' and 'winter'.

[@jessehilton1337]

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

[@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.

[@chufa72]

September 2021 is one of the best months in metal in a long long time

[@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

[@spencergrady5501]

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

[@Frogmonkey095]

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!

[@charlieo.possum5501]

That's a pretty badass Bolt Thrower shirt hoss 🤘

[@9r0bizzle93]

No Compromise!!!👊

[@entertherealmofchaos]

Wraith sounded really cool. Good review Blayne.

[@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.

[@yowiesmith662]

Thank you for introducing me to Wharflurch!

[@shadeturret228]

Man this month is absolutely stacked. Good finds Blayne!

[@eduardoconcepcion3723]

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

[@deathmetal0073]

Portraits album cover is fricking beautiful

[@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.

[@NoxStryx]

So excited to see Laang in the title.

[@oregonwoodelf]

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

[@kauffeemug]

Wharflurch and Portrait albums are awesome!

[@darksunnyside1091]

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

[@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!

[@LaylaLover90]

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

[@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. 🤘

[@alfie.6652]

Best time of the month 🤘

[@officialdarkcompass]

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

[@epik810]

Wharflurch cover is by RUSTED WINDS

[@Frostwulf1313]

Carcass is my big pick. Wraith sounds great.

[@chkchrycla]

Good taste. Totally agree.

[@SamAstaroth]

September is looking awesome Blayne 🤘🏽

[@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

[@cryptickingdom]

Wharflurch sounds awesome!

[@cristiandavidballen5678]

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

[@chkchrycla]

I had to literally hit pause and listen to that Wraith song twice over...and then come back to the video. That is some yummy quality shit. Hell yeah!

[@ChaosTribunal]

Wratith and Tentation doing it for me

[@derekj5580]

Thanks, Blayne. Appreciate the effort.

[@lightbright4996]

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

[@MrAaron194]

Rusted Winds did the Wharflurch cover.

[@Jatin__Verma]

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

[@r.c.kozletsky3313]

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

[@efogg3]

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

[@DewtehDew]

Blackened power trip? I’m in. Thanks banger, I found power trip, and got into blackened trash because of you. Been blasting Bewitcher because of your great shoutouts.

[@joshimawashi]

Bought that Wharflurch album straight away without question...

[@Maddgoose666]

Thank you so much for what you do. Portrait has to be one of the best sounding new bands . The singer almost sounds better the KD, I joke but seriously, he really has some pipes

[@frankf684]

They’ve been around since 2006

[@cardiacade]

Thanks for the Wharflurch rec. I do like me a bit of filthy cosmic-psyche death.

[@efogg3]

check him out on instagram

[@cardiacade]

@@efogg3 Ta, will do.

[@hezgillies1916]

I love metal monthly!

[@TheRealJoeNathan]

I'm most excited for new Iron Maiden, Inferi, and Rivers of Nihil, but next month will be even busier. I'll have to check out those new Wraith, Laang, and Wharflurch records too though.

[@isaacjamesbaker]

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

[@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!

[@metalabstraktcora9587]

Wraith great recommendation!!🤘🖤

[@FranDurstYeah]

Where is Grillfeast????

[@julianhatwell]

September seems like a greate month!!

[@taktukk]

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

[@Futbol631]

That was my exact thought 😂

[@romolo83]

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

[@silverydevil]

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

[@TheKelthun]

Excellent job sir. Greetings from Hellas

[@jacobfike3697]

That little sample of Portait's "Curtain" was better than any part of Senjutsu. And I liked the first half or so of Senjutsu

[@joshbuckley4434]

Senjutsu was just an average release... Nothing exciting about it at all.

[@evergreen9388]

Sweet Boltthrower shirt 👏🔥

[@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.

[@jengelenm]

New Vio-lence comin out 2022!

[@jakobthonen9411]

Definitely sounds like some cool new stuff I'll have to check out!🤘

[@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!

[@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.

[@larch151]

Wraith is the future of metal.

[@johnpontius6164]

great list as always, but i am almost uncontrollably distraught that you omitted the new aorlhac!

[@BangYourRadio]

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

[@FlorpingAllOver]

Laang sounded fucking awesome!

[@andyfox8377]

Looking forward to the new Seven Spires coming out this Friday

[@jarunia17]

Same, last record was a banger

[@saturdaymorning329]

All hail Wraith!

[@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

[@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.

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

[@luisvillalobos3080]

I come for the metal but stay for blayne.

[@quantumparadox2518]

That tentation track sounds a lot like the four horsemen riff

[@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.

[@danielebaroni256]

On 24th there's also new album from Skepticism

[@tjcaruthers5593]

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

[@Orcneas23]

Dude...how did Inferi’s ‘Vile Genesis’ not get a mention??? 😱

Wharflurch sound brutal af

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