Thanks for mentioning the Disma EP. I missed that, gonna have to find it. Loved the Megalith(?) album they did.

[@TheDeathDoomMetalHead]

No worries dude, solid band but it's not as good as Towards the Megalith so keep those expectations down haha. 🤘🍻💀🤘

[@Count_Deangeli]

This Decemberance album from your year-end list is pretty good - I've been listening to it quite a few times to it since then

[@TheDeathDoomMetalHead]

It's great, not for the faint hearted but there's so many good riffs on that album. 🤘☠️🤘

[@georgegsroomofrock9868]

Just found your channel thanks to the Metal.Tag. Awesome video, just super to you! And funny the MetL Tag and my top albums of 2023 got my channel 75 or so subscribers also! Looking forward to checking put your content!

[@TheDeathDoomMetalHead]

Ah cheers George, i've got your video on my watch later list so expect a comment soon from me! These videos do seem to help with the subs, no idea why but i aint complaining! 🤘🍻💀

[@Horrorguy89]

Great vid! Agreed about the Arkenstone album. I would’ve guessed it was a (brutal) death metal album. I need to make it my mission to start checking out My Dying Bride this year! The gig story is hilarious 😂

[@TheDeathDoomMetalHead]

Most deceiving album cover out there! Get on the MDB mate, everyone loves being miserable haha 🤘🍻💀

[@heavymetalmusicofdestructi3430]

did not see this until now will do my own tonight

[@rogerkjorvik]

Great response Liam. Hooded Menace have a pretty great discography. I really like the last 2 Deicide albums, after a couple of not so great ones...... And loved the single/video they released on xmas eve. Esoteric is killer, love that album cover. Greg Chandler is a fantastic producer/master/mixer. I think he was involved on at least 5-6 releases on my DM list for 2023. Cheers. 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@TheDeathDoomMetalHead]

I like Deicide but I can't say I get excited for their music. It's the same for a lot of the older bands for me. They churn out similar albums every year without much or no variation. Aye Greg is the man, he always delivers and you can tell he'll only get better as years go by. Cheers for watching mate 🤘🍻💀

[@rockandmetalplus5248]

Awesome response,Liam. Some bangers shown here. Love that Empyrium album. I picked it up after you showed it. Always enjoyable ,dude. 🤘🍻

[@TheDeathDoomMetalHead]

Aye that Empyrium album is quality, never get bored of it. Cheers for watching mate 🤘🍻💀

[@mrboulder9714]

Great response to the questions mate, really enjoyed this. Deicide is the album I'm looking forward to most this year but I agree they churn out the same thing over and over again, but I'm ok with that. Jealous you got to see Ronnie James Duo live as I never managed to catch him on stage unfortunately. Cheers fella

[@TheDeathDoomMetalHead]

Yeah I remember you saying that and shaking my head haha! The music alright but again nothing new or exciting for me, I like my variety if I can get it. Aye was a special moment, had tickets to see him again at High Voltage Fest a few years later but he passed so it was a tribute show to him instead. Even had Gary Moore playing just before he died now I think about it. cheers for watching mate 🤘🍻💀

[@n0s0luti0n]

Good shoutouts, I'm subbed to all of them. I can't disagree with your Deicide pick...I ignored them after the Hoffmans left, but I did pick up the last one dirt cheap and was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. That said, I'm not clamoring for a new one. Marty put me on to that Aquilus too, great stuff. Cool memories about Heaven and Hell...Dio was one of those artists I always thought I would catch "next time", until it was too late. Great answers, cheers Liam!

[@TheDeathDoomMetalHead]

Cheers Scott, Yeah Aquilus is great, very soundscapy in some parts so makes a change from your usual Atmospheric black metal Cheers for watching 🤘🍻💀

[@rolsen1304]

Caladan Brood!!!!

[@matoxdeepshadows]

Great video man, really appreciate the shout to stoked, definitely means a lot. So many albums to check out from your list too haha, looks like I've got a bit of homework on the horizon, a massive cheers again all the best mate! 🍻⚔️🍻⚔️

[@TheDeathDoomMetalHead]

My pleasure mate, hope it got you a few more punters. Cheers for watching chief 🤘🍻💀

[@heavytherapy]

Diamond Eyes is my favorite Deftones album and it's not even close.

[@TheDeathDoomMetalHead]

Yep same for me, I like some their earlier songs but album wise it'll always be that one! Cheers for watching mate 🤘🍻💀

[@GRockVC]

Great answers there Liam, enjoyed it. Yeah that Hooded Menace album is ace, probably their best, but like you say all the albums they've done are top quality. Nice Heaven and hell tour t-shirt, I wish I'd picked up one looking back on it, great bands on that bill.

[@TheDeathDoomMetalHead]

Yeah really glad I grabbed one of those shirts. Seems like a different world now when you think how much they'll charge for an arena shirt. Haven't bought one from a gig for many years now! cheers for watching mate 🤘🍻💀

[@metalmartymac]

Great video Liam, love the Benton impersonation lol but your right Cheers for the shoutout Mate, I think Aquilus are Australian See you in a few weeks Liam🤘💀🍻

[@TheDeathDoomMetalHead]

haha I forgot I did that until I watched it back! Aye you did me proud with Aquilus mate. See you next week 🤘🍻💀

[@metalmartymac]

@@TheDeathDoomMetalHead yeah it’s a good record See you soon Mate 🤘

[@BeardyRedViking]

Top notch response Liam, as I would expect from you! Some really interesting answers to these questions, particularly the artistic relevance one. There's a fair few ways that could be interpreted, and I like the way you looked at it! Slightly jealous you got to see Bolt Thrower, as well as Heaven & Hell. I have to admit I don't really know much non-Ozzy Sabbath stuff, but I did like the album the guys released with Dio under that name, and shamefully I never got to see him live. I guess I just thought he'd always be around and I'd see him some day. Wasn't to be! I totally agree with you on Deicide. They've put out some great stuff, and one of my favourite Deicide albums is actually a non-Hoffman one - The Stench of Redemption - but they just seem to be recycling the same old shit over and over again and I really don't care anymore! Looking forward to meeting you in person, and having a few beers, in Glasgow in a few weeks, mate! Cheers! 🤘

[@TheDeathDoomMetalHead]

Yeah Greg is still throwing his musical talents into loads off bands be it recording engineer, guest vocals or even his own music. Had to mention him. I saw the Thrower twice before they called it a day. Still have fond memories of both gigs. Stench of Redemption is decent but I still choose the 2nd one every time I want some evil jesus bashing death metal haha! And to you mate, the amount of baldness i'm meeting from VC makes me feel im going to win big on the lottery! 🤘🍻💀

[@BeardyRedViking]

@@TheDeathDoomMetalHead 🥚🥚🥚 🤣🤣🤣

[@AttackFromDownunda]

I like the shorter length albums. For time constrained people like me its better. Nice job with this years questions Liam, there is some head scratchers thrown in there. Usually i come across all the Music On Vinyl releases locally, i do not think i've seen any " Solitude Aeturnus " about, but they are now on my radar. Great metal memory also of seeing Dio live.Cheers🤘

[@TheDeathDoomMetalHead]

I vary in moods when it comes to time on an album, if i'm working i'll happily bang on an album that's 1 hour long if it's musically interesting. Get on that Solitude release mate, it's a cracker! Cheers for watching 🤘🍻💀

[@tainted_lord87]

Great answers to those questions, Liam. Even though, I do enjoy Deicide. You're right about them churning out the same topic about hating God on every album. LMAO about how you got that Bolt Thrower t-shirt by pretending that you were gay. Super cool of your wife to give you Deftones' Diamond Eyes on vinyl as a gift.

[@TheDeathDoomMetalHead]

Oh i enjoy Deicide but when it comes to bands being creative they are down the list for me. You know what you're going to get and it just doesn't excite me. Cheers for watching Tony! 🤘🍻💀

[@vinylhazard666]

Another great tag video 🍺. I just bought the new fires in the distance record so perhaps I will tire of it in the end too. 😅 good luck with all the shows this year mate!

[@TheDeathDoomMetalHead]

You'll like it! But don't compare it to the original as it's not on the same level. I was just disappointed from having high expectations. cheers for watching mate and hopefully Sweden is on the cards one day! 🤘🍻💀

[@metalmickey]

Proper nailed it with Deicide. I love the first 4 but that's it. Good video mate, looking foreward to the meet up in a couple of weeks

[@TheDeathDoomMetalHead]

Aye, ole benton aint what he used to be. See you next week Squire! 🤘🍻

[@metalmogul]

Thought I'd pop in and see what Gen Alpha are listening to these days. That was intense, I need a lie down at my age. I have that Arkenstone album, I feel well hip now, total blind buy from about 6 years ago.

[@TheDeathDoomMetalHead]

I even mentioned Iron Maiden! What's the world coming too! That Arkenstone album is the most deceiving album cover I own haha!

[@DavidCDawes]

The solitude release is the live Hour of Despair dvd they put out years ago. They did a show in Poland with onslaught. Metal Mind released it with the wrong mix. Guitarist Steve Mosley got the sound fixed up so it sounds more like it was supposed to. I have a digital version right now that sounds great. For now it is apparently a print on demand kind of thing, but who knows what will happen. Hopefully it makes it to vinyl. Interesting answers to the questions and I total agree with you about Deicide. I actually saw Bolt Thrower on the Warmaster tour at Joe's Garage in 1991. That is a nice Black Hole CD behind you and I won't even mention that I have 10 Solitude Shirts. Take care and cheers!

[@TheDeathDoomMetalHead]

Ah a print on demand thing.. Will have to see how much that sets me back as I know the post service ruins most of my US purchases haha. I wanted that new Grief Collector album as dude sounds like Rob Lowe but old school Rob, but the postage was double the CD which sucks! I know a certain cool dude sorted me out with that Black Hole CD. And i'm obviously well jealous of your SA Shirt collection haha

[@DavidCDawes]

@@TheDeathDoomMetalHead Not sure when I can get the physical CD yet. I asked John about it and he doesn't know, Steve did this on his own. But I'll send you a CD when I get one.

[@TheDeathDoomMetalHead]

@DavidCDawes mate you don't have to put yourself out of pocket for my benefit! I'm still well jelly your going to that festival haha

[@DavidCDawes]

@@TheDeathDoomMetalHead I don't mind a bit. Yes I am excited about the festival. I don't see shows much anymore because I get up early for work. They just Added Cirith Ungol which is one of my fav's and Autopsy is playing Severed Survival In it's entirety. Just got this band called Sanctuarium - Into The Mephitic Abyss. Disembowelment meets Autopsy, excellent stuff.

[@ravensoulmetal8466]

Awesome metal tag there Liam,Some great picks. Happy New year to you and the family 🤘🏻🍺🤘🏻.

[@TheDeathDoomMetalHead]

Cheers mate for watching and I hope 2024 brings you plenty of heavy new tunes! 🤘🍻💀

[@ravensoulmetal8466]

@@TheDeathDoomMetalHead love the new channel/profile picture. Immortalised as a cartoon 🤘🏻🍺🤘🏻.

[@seanbeast939]

Great response, Liam. Nice to know you picked up that Aquilus album 👍 I still need to grab that Esoteric record, and that reissue of Solitude Aeternus has me intrigued. Fortunately I already follow the guys & girl you shouted out 🤘

[@TheDeathDoomMetalHead]

Cheers Beastman! You need to get on Solitude Aeturnus and Esoteric at once! Must have for the collect chief 🤘🍻💀

[@TrentonSmallwood-nn6sn]

I love the cannibal corpse shirt

[@ScreaminT81]

Great video, and I’m surprised you like My Dying Bride, this is news to me 😉😉 hahaha. Jokes aside, I get the DEICIDE thing, I’m looking forward to the new record, buuuuuuut, i may hate it who knows haha. Cheers man o need to listen to that Solitude Aeternus again.

[@TheDeathDoomMetalHead]

Yeah new band to me MDB...... I just don't get excited about those older bands putting out new albums. I know what it's going to sound like, don't get me wrong, i'll check them out as I don't want to miss out incase it's killer though haha. Cheers for watching big T 🤘🍻💀

[@marc.g.with.a.c.]

Great response video Liam… as I fully expected it to be mate! You can’t go giving Glen Benton such a hard time yano… he has an inverted cross branded into his forehead… so he has absolutely no choice now but to bang on about how much he hates God for the rest of his life, lol!🤘🏻

[@TheDeathDoomMetalHead]

Haha Ole Benton got nothing to fear, he's still chugging along. Just don't expect me to go all fangirl when the new album comes out hah. Cheers for watching mate 🤘🍻💀

[@Metalminersmusic]

Well done. Excellent video sir. I’m glad you cleared up the gay thing for us, now we can move on 😂. Glen has made a career with his hate for his maker. It was obvious that he was sincere when he had it branded on his noggin 🤦🏻‍♂️. He’s a one trick pony indeed. Esoteric is a must for my collection this year. Amazing accomplishments musically and as a career in general. I hope this is the best year yet for you and your family. Cheers my friend

[@TheDeathDoomMetalHead]

I like me some Deicide but you won't see me getting excited for a new album. Those bands just can't seem to change it up which I get but for me I can check out a ton of underground bands to get my fix. Cheers mate and I hope you get over to Spain to see your boy this year! You need to start working on that Spanish accent of yours haha

[@theblackenedhymnschannel3985]

Great vid mate, some great answers but dissing Deicide, I’ve had to unsubscribe 🤣🤣🤣. Cool channel shoutouts also, Matt gives Dave a run in the swearing stakes 🤣 but a really cool guy. I don’t think I’m gonna make it over for Dead of Winter fest, but I hopefully have someone to take my ticket off me, really looking forward to meeting you in person and the rest of the guys, but hopefully sometime soon. Take care brother. Good luck with the gig. 👍🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@TheDeathDoomMetalHead]

haha i'm sure Evil D will come and punish me in the afterlife if it exists! Shame you can't make it mate but appreciate it ain't the easiest of places to get to with costs ect. Catch you soon chief and i'm sure you'll see plenty of footage tucked up in the warmth of home! 🤘🍻💀
