Nice! Great to see Mansion finally given props beyond being a constant presences on Fester's Lucky 13 year-end lists. As I watched, your likes hit 666 and beyond, appropriately. Will order the zine. Blood Ceremony is near the top for me too, more in the witchy occult psych noir area. Here's my Heavy Metal list: 1. Spirit Adrift - Ghost at the Gallows 2. Sorcerer - Reign of the Reaper 3. Wytch Hazel - IV: Sacrament 4. Legendry - Time Immortal Wept 5. Restless Spirit - Afterimage 6. Haunt - Golden Arm 7. Green Lung - This Heathen Land 8. Godthrymm - Distortions 9. Blood Lightning - Blood Lightning 10. Dopelord - Songs for Satan 11. King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - PetroDragonic Apocalypse 12. Cardinal’s Folly - Live by the Sword 13. Helms Deep - Treacherous Ways

I would have liked to see a mention of Flight's "Echoes of Journeys Past" for 2023. For a a band that got lumped in the retro heavy metal category, they really seem to have shed themselves of all the cliches and keep getting better every record. No song is predictable. Truly progressive and original!
