The Best Underground Metal Releases AUGUST 2024 - DEMISER | ANCIIENTS | AVMAKT | TEETH | PHAËTHON

[@krisdaschwab912]

Hell yeah, Anciients. They fell off the face of the earth for like eight years and it's good to see them back.

[@scottchrismon4492]

Thanks for giving Anciients a shout out. Longtime fan and so fucking stoked about the new album.

[@michaelgonzales92mg]

Always great to see a new Metal Monthly, you rule Blayne! I hope you got my video message that Daniel Decay took of me saying what's up!

[@joeylummox7330]

Great value Opeth

[@megandrover340]

@@joeylummox7330 almost like it’s in the same sub genre?!?! Wow

[@Neonmirrorblack]

@@joeylummox7330 Give me a break. They picked up the torch Opeth dropped long ago. They're more a mix of Mastodon, Tool and Opeth anyway. Voice of the Void was the best "Opeth" like album since Ghost Reveries.

[@scottchrismon4492]

@@joeylummox7330 Daaaummm. Shots fired.....I love both bands. New Anciients and some death growl Opeth. Maybe there is hope for the universe. Probably not.

[@jacobcolley9805]

Definitely looking forward for Demiser's new album, this band kicks ass!

[@majoor27]

Thanks for the Anciients review, keep the open mind :)

[@Jatin__Verma]

Blayne can't get enough of Castle Rat. Neither do I. Strong contender for Album of the Year!

[@charlieo.possum5501]

NUKE-YOU-LER BLAST has a lot of good stuff this month 🤘

[@Ziltoid23]

Demiser sounds sick, haven't heard them before but I'll be digging in now!

[@billy_little]

The “Like Darkthrone on NG+” elevator pitch hooked me.

[@trowabarton222]

Can't wait for the new Anciients album!

[@flynnhale1243]

Hold on did he say they sound like mastodon I like mastodon and irist i should give this a listen i liked that type of music tell me more

[@trowabarton222]

@@flynnhale1243 they definetly remind me of Mastodon. Ive heard people say they sound like a mix of Opeth and Mastodon.

[@MNmarrow]

Their first two albums are fantastic but their previous output, Voice of The Void is top-tier. Highly recommend checking it out.

[@spencergrady5501]

No Mamaleek or Fulci? Oooo. Teeth sounds gnashy.

[@TheTwoDrunkGamers]

Been dying for more Demiser.

[@darkblader06]

Ancients sounds like a more aggressive Fairway to Midland and im all here for it.

[@AlienatedQc]

a prog album!?😱 are you ok Blayne?😅 (awesome picks btw)

[@IncorrigibleBigotry]

This might be the first ever MM where all four bands sound promising enough that I can't wait to check them out. Very nice finds!

[@Hideousspawn13]

Oooo Teeth sounds fun. Jamming that to sleep tonight

[@patrickchiasson7081]

Anciients are what's up nice find

[@MNmarrow]

Banger reviewed their 2016 album. Sam did it. I highly recommend checking that review and the album. They are fantastic.

[@BatmanWangChung]

Blayne suh dude! I would be lost without your Wisdom! Have an epic day/night!

[@johnnielsen82]

IDK whats happening with Swole Blayne but I'm here for it.

[@sightlesswisdom2559]

Probably started eating meat.

[@danielsunderland2626]

Imagine calling Teeth a tech death band LMAO...FLUSH

[@lordmetallium9678]

Dude thank YOUUUUU I love the metal monthly new bands = More yes more metal

[@drokus]

been getting suggestions from youtube from castle rat, then i see blane wearing a shirt from them. guess i should check them out

[@tonycaldwell331]

Need to hold up a bank by August 30th. Anciients & Avmakt on my radar along with Ellende. Demiser sounds promising

[@FalseNi9e]

Oxygen Destroyer slays many monsters in their wake

[@rewindingApocalypse]

I can tell you recorded this at the very last possible second, very frenetic energy about you

[@MNmarrow]

Gotta say Blayne, I generally agree with your take on cleans but man... To knock signing and then give us the vocals in that palette cleanse; can't square that one up! 🤣

[@AuntieTrichome]

And it sounded terrible too imho 😂

[@jusducks07]

It’s about it being out of place ie modern Mastodon, not in trad or rock n roll

[@MNmarrow]

That's a fair point. One I agree with but I'd also take good, out of place vocals then what rises to the top of most trad metal these days. Just my opinion though. Cheers!

[@sightlesswisdom2559]

Exactly what I thought when he said it's out of place but he STILL does a pallette cleanse every month!

[@alschutz1833]

Greetings from Adriankombat, always looking foward for this

[@williambiscalchingalvao617]

I cannot BELIEVE that when i am 26 years old time 2 is finally coming out.

[@Fenster020]

Well yeah, now I'm excited for that Teeth album.

[@Carlo.WTF416]

Did not expect a Hardcore music shoutout with the Gel and Nails picks 💯💯💯

[@motorousv8]

I love Metal Monthly

[@jpohl1968]

Looks like five of the greatest Judas Priest albums since Painkiller.

[@MrLando0]

That Demiser is very similar to Wraith, which I dig. New album clicked with me for sure.

[@umidead]

AUGUST , The wonderful month of year for metal community.

[@tlepsh_band]

new Anciients sounds sick

[@gabrielpinheiro9828]

That Avmakt one... that's a MUST!!!

[@traviswilliams4548]

Check out Acid Mass! They released an album on the 2nd called worship. If you like Wraith, Enforced, that kinda stuff, you'll love it

[@noogie3784]

Yes

[@noogie3784]

Fulci wow!

[@charlieboone1298]

Demiser gave me a chub.

[@heavymetalmusicofdestructi3430]

Hell yeah love the hulder poster

[@donmcglothlin841]

I love progressive metal when it’s done right

[@C.good2damax]

Damn so where was Oxygen Destroy? Demiser and Avmakt sound dope. Gnarly month 💀 🔥

[@uthgerd666]

Check out the new Acid Mass album WORSSHIP that just came out a few days ago if you like Wraith.

[@scotchandsquats]

Thank you for that recommendation!🤘

[@teambrownie1]

it's between burke and Eliran Kantor for best album artists rn

[@MNmarrow]

Paulo Girardi (if I am remembering correctly) is also on point.

[@j.d.8162]

wow, big dig on Wintersun

[@IncorrigibleBigotry]

Big dig energy right there.

[@NbleSavage]

I love Gel. Best vox in hardcore right now.

[@Machovelli]

Contrary to popular taste, I dig clean singing in metal. I can’t help myself. Maynard and Chino add so much more with their beautiful,dynamic , melodic singing voices than the millionth grunting death growl that stays in the same parlando pitch forever. That being said I do dig this as well but I am not vetoing metal for having a great capable dynamic vocalist who can add panache and nuance by actually singing

[@thegoblonoid]

Woohoo Wintersun lets go!

[@49TheWall]

How can you not love a music channel where an album from Heilung is considered a big release 😂

[@Latrell666]

Fleshgod Apocalypse 😋

[@CodyPonder-i3d]

Castle rat shirt is sweet. have the album on cassette.

[@Hellenicheavymetal]

Leprous too

[@Neonmirrorblack]

4:42 I guess you just forgot about the review you guys did for Voice of the Void? Are you also one of those people that think the older Opeth albums were "too weak" because they also had clean singing? 😂 Anyway, likely going to be my album of the year unless Opeth actually surprises the world with their upcoming album. Despite it having growls in a song or two, I doubt it.

[@blutausbeherit]

I've tried dozens of times to give Opeth a listen since I know they're supposed to be the GOATs but I just could never get into any of their albums. I'm not saying they're bad, I just have never liked their music. Not gonna knock others tastes though

[@RPRsChannel]

lmao got to keep that skin soft 😊

Blayne thought he could be in Anciients and not tell anyone

are you filming this in the 7 1/2 floor?

5:06 *Seated* metal. Good grief, these are sad times 🙄

It's a playthrough so fellow musicians can watch and potentially learn how they work the fretboard.

Well, Demiser sounds like ass and Anciients sounds as amazing as usual.

[@austinbaker8175]

L take

[@krisdaschwab912]

Both bands are good. I like Anciients more because I'm a prog dude. Don't be a wanker.

[@AuntieTrichome]

This month is a fun month for metal releases. Normally summer months are kinda weak. Edit: just listened to the new Wormwitch. This could be, could as there is still a bunch of raaaargh coming, my album of the year. Some sweet little ditties on that record. 🤘🫨🤘 (yes, we need a headbang emoji).

[@bricriu]

you seem especially coked up this month.

[@MNmarrow]

Prog has a weird way of affecting us all.
