Shining some light on the new Havukruunu coming on 28th. The singles have been typically epic!

[@AuntieTrichome]

Can’t wait! The singles are indeed ridiculously good.

[@nhqnhq]

Good to see that Curta'n Wall already has a legacy with Fell Omen, really excited for this one

[@MrLando0]

Killer month, looking forward to all these. Blayne is my metal spiritual animal.

[@rottingpages]

God damn, all five of those album covers looks sick as hell!!!

[@jamesgwarrior1981]

I have come to the conclusion that your best videos are the ones when you’re having fun.

[@spencergrady736]

yeah, that Fell Omen is fun

[@count_bathory]

We love our beautiful boy Spider of Pnyx

[@SpiderofPnyx]

no u

[@TrevorGintheplace2Be]

LOL Blayne cannot be stopped, this is the sickest/funnest shit! :D

[@FeRReTNS]

I have a feeling the next four years is going to spur on a resurgence of punk and hardcore like we have never seen before.

[@DoomedCult]

Best part of the month!!

[@alanmakesstuff]

This was a most entertaining Metal Monthly! Ritual Ascension are now on my Bandcamp wish list, really cool stuff. Fell Omen are definitely interesting, it sounds like it was recorded through a potato, but has a certain charm to it. Great work as always Blayne!

[@truecultrecords]

Recorded through the best medieval recording equipment available, so it’s a pesticide free, peasant grown potato!

[@patrickchiasson7081]

sick picks

[@gwts1171]

Ritual Ascension are great (and local boys for me)! Stress Test seems great, too. It has a bit of Nuclear Assault feel to me for some reason. I'm always into the palate cleanser, it seems. Geez, these were all good!

[@manuelhernandez87]

Another great Minnesota band is Suffering Hour!

[@gwts1171]

Yeah! They're really cool.

[@noogie1]

Hell Yeah

[@RequiemDead]

Phrenelith, Saor, Dawn of Solace, Pissgrave, Havukruunu, Vacuous...kinda slim pickens, but them pickens be GREAT! That Ritual Ascension got my attention!

[@49TheWall]

NEPOTISM!! Felt good to get that off my chest. That Stress Test album sounds really promising btw

[@Texastrue43]

Stress Test proves this channel needs more punk and hardcore representation

[@SutekhTheDestroyer]

I also struggle to contain my laughter when talking about Killswitch Engage.

[@scotchandsquats]

Really excited for stress test!🤘

[@wheelsofmercury]

Added Morax and Tubal Cain to my Bandcamp wish list ASAP! Awesome work again, Blayne.

[@coreydinardo5525]

Sentient Ruin never disappoints.

[@VisuallyImpairedGamer1987]

Really intrigued by Stress Test, Tubalcain and Ritual Ascension. I have to shout out Voidfallen's album The Rituals of Resilience out February 21, which is some fantastic melodic death metal. Also, shout goes to Unrequited's album A Pathway to the Moon, which is out today for you fans of post black metal out there, and finally Hälsingemörker by Ereb Altor, which is out today as well for fans of viking black metal!

[@marcusaurelius2328]

Keen for the new albums from Vultures Vengeance and Owlbear

[@janpietraszewski759]

Ritual ascention is pretty much what the Balrog listens to in his pit, when he's not disturbed by Hobbits.

[@JG-ss5ro]

No mention of Havukruunu's upcoming release?

[@count_bathory]

That'll probably get a full review

[@TexasBedouin]

🤘🏼🇵🇸

[@markvserik]

Phrenelith just put out a great death metal record, check it out!

[@andrewstrenkowski5313]

What’s band on your shirt? It’s immortal some but I can’t read the second part

[@truecultrecords]

Immortal Form, out of DC. Great death metal!

[@andrewstrenkowski5313]

@ thanks!

[@andrewstrenkowski5313]

@@truecultrecords also I gotta say keep up the amazing work with these videos, I always find something amazing in them!

[@alexperry4691]

Sludge Titans 16 just released a banger of an album called Guides For The Misguided.

[@MysticMindAnalysis]

Don't write off Dynazty! They have some of the best Melodic Power Metal out there, with the perfect balance between light keyboards and heavy guitars, in addition to some truly exceptional songwriting and melody. Can't recommend them enough!

[@bobsala7780]

Regarding not writing off Dynazty, Blayne writes off all Power Metal. And Progressive Metal. And Metalcore. And Symphonic Metal. And Technical Death Metal. And Deathcore. And classic Metal by the most popular bands of all time (such as Metallica and Iron Maiden). But we still love Blayne.

[@bboy531]

Yeah I'm sick of the snobbery, what's wrong with liking all sorts of metal genres, let alone other types of music altogether!? 🙄

[@noogie1]

Hopefully we get a PISSGRAVE review.

[@Rebar77_real]

New month of metal motherflangers! 🤘

[@Jekyll_Jackal]

Don't take Metal Archives seriously

[@eyehatepantera403]

Pissgrave

[@kingdclxvi8488]

Parabellums second album to be released soon🤘🤘🤘

[@charlieo.possum5501]

*don't forget the Gulf of America

[@scottyoung4590]

The morax the better

[@rgenemy]

WtF is wrong with Killswitch ENgage

[@JC-qe7pj]

Everything

[@hugostiglitz5798]

Yay, more basement closet sounding black metal or new bands trying to play old sabbath-esque heavy metal.

[@serroche]

tbh Fell Omen sound horrible

[@HeadBangerArtist]

lets make metal great again!

[@ianmcpeck424]

Stress Test and Ritual Ascension sound pretty damn good. I'll have to check out Tubal Cain as well I think... Fell Omen sounds horrible (sorry), but I love the idea behind it.

[@thetapeguy76]

Nice choice, except number 2 and 3, that's weird stuff. Could have been a palate cleanser only this month with Vultures Vengeance, Mean Mistreater, Löanshark and Sinner Rage. Happy days🤘🍻

[@gothicgrin8721]

Blurt, i mean Blaine, shut it with your lefty politics, keep it to the music, you silly little boy.

[@Morkeric]

cry about it

[@JC-qe7pj]

The crazy thing about modernity is that there are so many entertainment options, so, you know, go watch something else. Keep up the good work, Blaine!

[@DewtehDew]

If you can’t spell his name correctly, you can’t really say much :/

[@Volunteerfan8082]

Metal Monthly keeps getting worse and worse....

[@Brannfull]

why?
