Are you going to save over this ranked list? Or create a seperate playlist, or not do any thing (that works for me)?

[@ugodelmart5460]

Banger top 50 man. I'm just a bit sad because Hypno5e is not in it. Great content anyway, keep it up! Cheers from France.

[@yourWronglol]

Bro forgot to react to the new Darko, wow

[@tusk3260]

Hey you missed a really good one from Canada from the band Matante Mutante. All i ask is you go watch and listen to their food song from 2023 called Pâter Maison on this link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5LWlJluhcZkgLc There is no way you heard them before as they aren't known outside Québec (french Canada) but if you like banger metal, you'll love this. Its similar to system of a down, or at least thats what the Americans i showed it to told me so far.

[@signsoftheswarmband]

Thanks for more love, Birb!

[@chellecopley67]

Literally can't get enough Sleep Token but I gta say since I started watching your channel I have found some killer bands! Thanks to you!

[@chrissangid1973]

I’m so glad you went with Ascensionism instead of the Summoning, because as good as the Summoning is, Ascensionism is on an entirely different level from anything else released this year

[@JesusFriedChrist]

My top 10: 1. Everything from Take Me Back To Eden 2. Same 3. Same 4. Same 5. Same 6. Same 7. Same 8. Same 9. Same 10. Same

Sleep token are trash

[@BlueBattle123]

For real

[@igorpodemski9596]

My top 10 [ not in order ] : Spiritbox - Jaded Spiritbox - Cellar Door Knocked Loose - Deep in the Willow Sleep Token - The Summoning Sleep Token - Chokehold Falling in Reverse - Watch The World Burn Avenged Sevenfold - We Love You Avenged Sevenfold - Cosmic Avenged Sevenfold - Mattel Avenged Sevenfold - Game Over

[@rafaelz6211]

Ascensionism is also my number 1. Possibly my favourite song ever, absolutely gorgeous masterpiece of a song

[@brandonrust4114]

I'd never heard of Sleep Token and was put onto them by a friend at work. The Summoning was the first song I listened to by them because I just started clicking on their music video singles on KZbin and that was their biggest hit yet. It absolutely blew me away, it was one of the best tracks of the year I'd heard to that point. And then the album came out. And The Summoning ended up being like my 4th favorite on the album lol. They completely knocked my socks off, and I've thoroughly enjoyed going back and experiencing the trilogy for the first time. Ascensionism was my favorite too, and it still gives me goosebumps dozens, maybe hundreds of listens later.

[@rafaelz6211]

@@brandonrust4114 it’s so gorgeous

[@hunterking8807]

Absolute same. I love how they have a way with being masterful in each genre that they touch and still have a way of blending them perfectly. I will admit the title track threw me a little with the last bout of metal they threw in that track, but Ascensionism was beautifully written and masterfully executed.

[@DESOLATENY]

TMBTE has to be my favorite album from 2023. I haven’t listened to an album front to back in years and I listen to this one daily.

My top song of the year is either Legion by Tesseract or False Meridian from Invent Animate. Alot of the songs you mentioned on your list are also on mine.

[@justinsnow1269]

Those are my top 2 lol

[@TheHappyCatsTail]

was 100% expecting sleep token at the top but i was NOT expecting that song choice. gotta respect it lol

Phenomenal list my dude, impeccable. I know you're a big Vildhjarta fan too - they probably would have made the list if their new tracks had dropped sooner. But love your list, love your channel

[@ShakerMatt]

This last year or so has really reinvigorated my passion for metal after having drifted away for a long while, some amazing albums and songs and that's in large part thanks to discovering your channel so THANK YOU! Here's to a banger 2024!

[@aavosooghi]

I will never forget my reaction to “Ascensionism” when I first heard it. I was closing my eyes, laying in bed while taking in the album for the first time. When the drop in this track hit, I LEAPT out of bed with a huge grin on my face. Also my undisputed #1 song of the year!

[@Sboccomerda]

[@animyrch]

Best list I have seen so far in my subjective opinion

[@flaviucalin]

I'm 62 yo and I grew up with Led Zepp, Black Sabbath, Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd, Uriah Heep, Manfred Mann, Deep Purple, Genesis, Dio, Supertramp... Now I'm listening Romuvos, Trahir, Powerwolf, Wytch Hazel... Here is just a lot of noise (more noisy, more listeners ?), grunting (lyrics are easier, because they doesn't matter). Like less forests on the planet, less quality music. All is commercial today.

[@vybz987]

Ascensionism is the best song ive ever heard

[@lowspec42]

Most of these songs were new to me - and I like to think I listen to a lot of new music. That, I suspect, will be why people's lists differ greatly - almost none of us will have listened to every song that every one commenting has included in their list. With that in mind, here's my quick top 20: 20. Cannibal Corpse - Chaos Horrific 19. Cattle Decapitation - We Eat Our Young 18. Wayfarer - To Enter My House Justified 17. Slaughter To Prevail - Viking 16. As Everything Unfolds - Ultraviolet 15. Scar Symmetry - Overworld 14. Ignea - Dunes 13. We Blame The Empire - As I Fall 12. Spirit Adrift - Hanged Man’s Revenge 11. Elegant Weapons - Do Or Die 10. Angelus Apatrida - To Whom It May Concern 9. Equilibrium - Shelter 8. Rage of Light - The Scent of Dead Leaves 7. Judas Priest - Panic Attack 6. Lord Of The Lost - The Curtain Falls 5. Code Orange - Take Shape 4. Spiritbox - The Void 3. Polaris - Overflow 2. Electric Callboy - Parasite 1. Sleep Token - Ascension

[@ashleighjandrasec2926]

How dare you not have every Sleep Token song in the top 50 like everyone else.

[@billc7480]

Is it me or are guitars less and less in the forefront of the mixes on most modern metal songs? Maybe im just getting older or maybe theyre just tuned so low nowadays but the guitars on songs dont seem to cut through or be as prominent or sound as clear as they used to. It seems like its harder and harder to hear the actual notes.

[@Rubbish_]

A lot of the core genres use guitars more for rhythm, not that there are no riffs but that’s less of a focus. Some great bands with riffs for you are: Sailing Before the Wind and Slice the Cake I’ve found overall more prominent riffs outside of metalcore and deathcore.

[@billc7480]

My song of the year is actually a tie and by the same artist. The co #1's are Enduring the snow drought and The blue against the white by Panopticon. They are the final 2 tracks of the album and are my favorite 28 minutes of music I've heard all year

I like the list, I would’ve added Seeing red by Architects and Angel Eyes by Spiritbox as well!

Lots of inspiration from Korn and Limp Bizkit. Very few have a truly original sound.🙁 Oh wait, I forgot there are two Evanescence copies here. 😂

How have I never heard Johnny Booth!? My goodness. 🤘🏼

Disembodied Tyrant/Synestia have released the best song by far in my opinion. Love to see them sitting at 2nd place 🤙
