MGP’s Top 10 Metal Albums of 2024

[@TheAccusationNetwork]

What did YOU think of my choices? Do you have your OWN Top 10 list? Whether it’s in video or text form, you should definitely let me know about it, as well as anything else that makes sense, in the comments below.

[@rocketrod1444]

Trad metal freak here ...... Saxon , Priest , Accept , Blitzkrieg , Satan , The Rods and Demon all 2024 releases all kick arse IMO . Cheers Matt .

[@TheDeathDoomMetalHead]

Really cool list mate, I had two on mine from yours with our no. 3 being the same. Roll on next year, and hope you're enjoying the festive holidays 🤘🏻🍻

[@TheAccusationNetwork]

I watched yours this morning and literally said “same number threes” out loud. Happy Holidays to you as well.

[@zoef234]

Concise and to the point. Nicely done!

[@metalmartymac]

Fantastic video Matt …great list , a few I’ll have on mine but there’s def a few I need to listen too Have a great Holiday Mate 🤘🎄

[@seditionthroughscorns]

Love the list man! 2024's been a blast of killer releases of all things death, black and other subgenres. Been watching your channel since last year and can't wait to see what your selections for 2025 be.

[@georgegsroomofrock9868]

What a great list Matt! Fully enjoy the list and all your videos! And thanks for the Oxygen Destroyer and Attic recommendations! Happy Holidays too you!!

[@MetalNeverDieswithMarkA]

Yes Skeletal Remains getting some well deserved love. A strong death metal release. Hmmm The Black Dahlia Murder number one. I like it. ❤

[@wretchedforever]

I don't have a top ten, but Opeth and Blood Incantation are my two favorites of the year. I need one of those Megaforce Records T-shirts.

[@KeepitMETAL]

Awesome choices! Happy Holidays! Love the channel man

[@ronaldreidell4256]

Man it’s hard to pick just 10… so many great releases this year. Liked your list! The 200 Stab Wounds and Bewitcher are great records start to finish. My list would definitely have 4 you didn’t mention: High on Fire - Cometh the Storm, Opeth - Last Will… , Amethyst - Throw Down the Gauntlet, and Vomit Forth - Fear of God. I’d have to say as a fan of hardcore and dbeat or noise rock (Malignant Tumor Maximum Rock n Roll 🤘🏻) makes it so hard to narrow down just 10. Cheers to another great year and enjoyable posts! Merry Christmas, Matt. Be safe!

[@DavidIngramOSDM]

Great list, mate. Some cracking albums on it. And the number one spot was well deserved. I'll post my own list up on Facebook and IG later.

[@RNoble]

Your list was interesting Thank you for putting it together. I share your opinion on a couple albums you mentioned. But, for me, Gatecreeper was the album of the year.

[@killerall5312]

My top 5 is for lovers of good modern black metal 1. Hail Spirit Noir 2. Hauntologist 3. Trelldom 4. Ihsahn 5. Labyrinthus Stellarum

[@patrickmurphy4297]

cool list...with all the new metal releases last year, a few "usual suspects" snuck past me without my knowing about them...I will not mention them to prevent being embarrassed...

[@jonjackson5372]

Love that Bewitcher album and several others on your list. Up until a few days ago I would have declared my number 1 album of 2024 Bruce Dickinson “The Mandrake Project” but then I received and listened to “Nell Ora Blu” by Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats. I’m amazed that it hasn’t made other people’s top ten lists.

[@joerocks7381]

Some of yours were on my list also....Bewitcher, Skeletal Remains, Priest, 200 Stab Wounds, BDM. I had a few prog/death metal bands (Anciients, Oceans of Slumber, Eternal Storm) and a couple doom bands (Early Moods, Temple of the Fuzz Witch) on my list. And i loved the new Atrophy and debut from Vicious Blade. Love the channel. 🤘

[@micjunior]

Good and balanced list with new and traditional bands!

[@Heavymetalbiker]

Excellent list mother of graves is on my list along with blood incantation, iotunn, opeth, kanonenfieber, seth , borknagar, nile, ihsahn and departure chandelier. What a year i think most of us could go on and on about the excellent album releases of 2024. Merry Christmas and all the best for 2025. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@LowNoiseJasonSkilz]

Interesting list Matt! Good mix of sub genres. Some stuff I havent heard at all. Until #2 I didnt have any of the same records in my top 10 list. I can tell based on your #2 and others in your list that you appreciate good quality playing I think. I just got the Oxygen Destroyer on CD last week so too late to make my top 10. Great album tho. And of course I played the new Priest album to death last year but I left it for my hon. mentions. Both the new Fulci and Undeath made my top 12. Cheers man and happy holidays!

[@wheelsofmercury]

Been a LONG time since I've watched any of your videos! Not a bad list.

[@motherofgraves]

Appreciate you! 🖤🖤🖤

[@s13-x8e]

I'll check out the Black Dahlia Murder and Judas Priest. I saw BDM open up for Cannibal Corpse at Foufounes in '04 and it was memorable.

[@BrainPollution]

This was an awesome list! Even though I haven’t heard all these records, it’s much better than a lot of Top 10 lists I’ve seen/read. SPELL SHOCK was one of my most anticipated albums of the year, and it did not disappoint! And thanks to you, I fell in love with that Mother of Graves album. In fact, the vinyl will be arriving on my doorstep this afternoon! I keep forgetting to check out Grand Magus, so I really need to make time for a deep dive into their stuff. It is right up my alley. I’m not doing a Top 10 video, myself. I feel like since everyone is doing that, I’d rather just share all the new albums I bought on a physical format in 2024. It’ll be a two-parter, which the second half dedicated to all the reissues I bought (which ended being more than planned, hence the need for a Part 2.) That being said, if I did do a list, Judas Priest, Mother of Graves, Blood Incantation, Bewitcher, and Midnight would be on it.

[@hiroshi138]

Yes! 200 Stab Wounds

[@tiagoferrari2392]

Hauntologist - Hollow is by far the best 2024 album!

[@hvitekristesdod]

Here’s mine 10 Ihsahn - Ihsahn 9 Merrimack - Of Grace and Gravity 8 Nile - The Underworld Awaits Us All 7 Blood Incantation - Absolute Elsewhere 6 Akhlys - House of the Black Geminus 5 Thy Catafalque - XII: A Gyönyörű Álmok Ezután Jönnek 4 Mitochondrion - Vitriseptome 3 Schammasch - The Maldoror Chants: Old Ocean 2 Ulcerate - Cutting the Throat of God 1 Ingurgitating Oblivion - The Ontology of Nought

[@7BobbyGaylor7]

Black Country Communion V.

[@licandres01]

Came to complaint about not mentioning Absolute Elsewhere

[@TheAccusationNetwork]

It’s mentioned late in the video.

[@WilliamRyan-h2y]

I agree wholeheartedly about Fulci. That single track is kind of a dealbreaker for me on an otherwise pristine album.

[@DEFKONSIXTYSIXlml]

First of all, cool shirt! secondly KK and JP both mediocre and you totally didn't mention one of the best comeback albums by NASTY SAVAGE!! Get on that!!!

[@TheAccusationNetwork]

I talked about the Nasty Savage record in my Honorable Mentions segment of this video.

[@billybobgeo]

i dunno man -- while it's true i don't have the deep knowledge of all these albums, to not even mention the impact of Opeth's Last Will and Testament is both a dis-service to the metal community and a for me sinks your credibility to 0; it's fine if it doesn't make your list or even an honorable mention - but to ignore it in a video that purports to represent metal is as ridiculous as ignoring a Priest or Maiden album -- get a grip!

[@maideni666]

No mention of Black Curse?
