Love to see Make Them Suffer! any chance you put together a YT playlist?

[@funnyy]

Gênio

[@bishopm4401]

I didn’t even bother trying not to headbang, I’m just here to get a bunch of heavy music recs lmao

[@mateusz8604]

Labyrinthian was so painful man, but I've passed. I'm still shaking though.

[@bogdanhxc]

You can do a round 2 but the opposite - can't stop headbanging

[@Dustinchugs]

Yeah I’m traumatized bro lol

[@InventSlaminate]

I felt labyrinth was the easiest lol

[@dyache]

Same dude

[@stavery23]

It’s actually the next breakdown that would’ve got me lol

[@the_vitor]

"911 what's your emergency?" "Hi... I broke my neck. Yes again..."

[@eliodel240]

- Failed early at Immolation of Night - Got upset and retried - Thought I was doing pretty well - Labyrinthian comes in...

[@Lazzy420]

Transitions went crazy, almost got me with on the verge near the end.

[@bogdanhxc]

Thank you! thrown is goated

[@gabrielcobb8872]

This was EASILY the most difficult year! Been watching for the last couple and this year I almost caught myself moving so many times dude! Transitions were as fuckin killer as the song selection! Much love Bog!

[@bogdanhxc]

Appreciate it, it was an awesome year!

[@JeffyLifts]

Final boss almost had me for a sec but we SURVIVED. Another banger video and year for metal🙏🏻

[@bogdanhxc]

Haha, thanks a lot!

[@glorymain_01]

I feel like this one was literally impossible solely because of Labyrinthian's existence this year lol

[@artistrankings6794]

that guitar riff is my favorite moment in music this year

[@Khainite]

BABE WAKE UP A NEW TRY NOT TO HEADBANG JUST DROPPED

[@gxmgaming7403]

How this managed to be eight and a half minutes of absolute banger breakdowns and still shock me with what was left out is a testament to how stacked 2023 was. I think this may be the first TNTH to need a director's cut.

[@Justices22]

Always love when you do these, not only a great recap of a year full of bangers, but I also find myself 2-3 new bands that kind of went past me during the year! Really well done (as always

[@Razierra]

that transition at 5:10 IS SO GOOD IT SOUNDS LIKE ONE SONG BUT THE BREAKDOWN JUST GETS EVEN HEAVIER

[@m4ever970]

The transitions between tracks were so damn good. Awesome picks. I passed, but was close to losing a couple of times lmao. Great video 🔥

[@ZeeMinion]

I passed, but Dreamwalker almost got me real good. Well done dude!

[@diegosoto3852]

I lost with Guilt Trip, and I'm glad because I could headbang the rest of the video freely. Thanks Bogdan, for another great compilation!

[@DJJordanne]

I was doing so well and Cut Off The Head knocked me out. I can't listen to that song without headbanging, like I physically can't. Well done man 👏👏👏

[@thxmpsxn]

Guilt Trip, Seeyouspacecowboy, dying wish, FUCKING THROWN, END, and knocked loose almost got me Jesus Christ this was tough but I passed. Thank you bogdan, gentleman and a scholar

[@PossiblyABird]

Bro Gideon was the first band I've ever saw live and it was only a few days ago, they're so fucking good man, respect for putting them first.

[@snallygaster2946]

Gideon being first was just evil

[@nitrouscatfish5827]

Ive seen KL, KK, and Gideon and gideon was the stand out in terms of pure moshpit violence. KL and KK you might catch some flying spin kicks if you weren’t paying attention but gideon at LTL was people straight up getting punched in the face and being completely okay with it.

[@michaelmcclellan5345]

That transition from Everything Is Quiet Now to Cellar Door got me. Well played, sir. Well played.

[@natharoonytoony6632]

Okay right this slaps and all but your edits to make all the transitions feel as natural as possible is immaculate

[@Joose]

Goddamnit. I was like, "thank fuck, he forgot Labyrinthian".... and then I failed. I think the only thing missing was some Immortal Disfigurement.

[@brent_004]

I cant wait to spend the next month or two watching the other creators reactions like usual. killer year

[@XYClanKILLER2]

I love you for this 🫶🏻

[@Meowmeow0506]

I may be recently biased but this is for sure the best one you've done

[@bogdanhxc]

Thank you!

[@oran9]

if the breakdown of torn from your silhouette kept going i wouldn't be alive now

[@knockedloosebylornashore]

Arguably your best one yet! If Boundaries were in this I would have lost for sure

[@yipps_]

Absolutely had NO chance of passing this LOL

[@WishMount]

WHERE WAS ALPHA WOLF??! That “Where my dogs at” drop was headband central

[@MPapeleu]

Oh no I'm not even attempting. This is 8 minutes of me jumping around my room

[@AlissonBirck]

"Bog: Did you pass? Me: Yes Bog: What did it cost? Me: My will to live"

[@Снайдер-Кот]

The amity affliction - Show me your god, its really headbanging breackedown)

[@clovertherapper2536]

Agreed

[@jonahnyquist4519]

That drop in collapse in the key of fireworks gets me everytime lol

[@jacksonislegend]

Holy shit man, that immolation of night breakdown is impossible not to headbang too. Heavener had so many good breakdowns. This is for sure your best compilation so far 🤘🏼

[@nofacegamer21]

The ability to just make yourself hate everything on command comes in handy for theses😂

[@unicestwiacznoworodkow7]

I lost right away because i forgot it's a try not to headbang challenge lol

[@the_gpatch6933]

Okay this was seriously the hardest try not to head bang challenge of yours from the past few years. This one HURT

[@Deadknot93]

I passed, but you nearly made me fail with just the first five seconds of the video with Gideon alone. My neck hurts from actually not headbanging to this whole list.

[@demonzx6279]

Please never stop making these 😭

[@OwO_MIW]

deep in the willow and thrown got me

[@IDarkkoI]

what a fucking year for metal holy hell

[@nackle_]

Bladerunner into The Orphan Breed was MEEEEEEANNN I was SHA-KING

[@ryanstedman41]

i hadn’t heard hourglass before this video, and i’m not gonna lie, the guitar tone reminded me of the sound of an old jared dines or rob scallon type of skit

[@seabasswool.7212]

Holy shit, idk how I made that. You did not have to put Orphan in there man! Loved this though, best one by far.

[@KILLSTREAKUS]

Sure hope we made it this year 🤞🏻

[@ennio1ls]

I hope so😂

[@gruccigang0587]

😞

[@KILLSTREAKUS]

Bummer.

[@Lazzy420]

Womp womp

[@bogdanhxc]

with how these are made some are bound to be left out, chin up, hopefully next year!

[@MurphyBWFC]

Solid choices!! Can’t believe you didn’t throw in the song literally called “Bang Ya Head” though 😂

[@Brancr]

On the verge is one of the tunes I’ll bash into the queue when going for a shower, honestly can’t tell you how many times I’ve almost broke my neck, back and just entire fkn body because of that breakdown! 2023 was a solid ass year for music, hopefully this year continues the filth

[@MoLToLv]

Also the Cut off the head, deep in the willow, please end me, gates of horn... back to back to back to back was diabolical.

[@AyoReece]

First year of diving HARD into metal. 292,000 minutes on spotify. First try not to headbang ever passed. Sick year.

[@jesus14chu]

My faceeee is melted af !!!! Loveeee this one and my opinion i think it's the most Heavier you've done

[@goatjames1675]

That 2nd knocked loose track got me I wasn't expecting it at all 😢

[@jacobbloomer7002]

I was struggling the whole time but johnny booth killed me

[@pedroferrari820]

No matter how many times i've listened to theory of mind, it gets me every single time. Fuck.

[@benedikthornauer3897]

Every year I'm waiting for this. And every year i loose! This year the Browning was my end... Thanks for this Bogdan!

[@RetriMusic]

Felt like this one was pretty easy, all great songs regardless. Great vid bogdan :)

[@shreees9884]

Why the fuck does it feel so wrong not to headbang, feel like my head is moving when it isn't 🤣

[@streetzyskater]

This was just a mint recap of an amazing metal 2023. We are spoiled.

[@SOMT91]

Thrown was insane, that's the surprise of the year for me.

[@Chicago8592]

I was like WHERE TF is spite caved in, you said it would be here and then I checked and an entire year has passed me by and i just realized

[@eddyarellano9007]

Bro lost the second Gideon started 💀

[@bryanmeiter]

Once again just here to update my library…. 😂😂🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@Cyber_cvlt]

Goddamn Thrown man, they're a whole new level

[@Glintingbeetle]

Amazing challenge, how do you keep beating the previous year every time lol?

[@bogdanhxc]

Thank you! Metal just gets better and better i guess

[@owenbighead]

@@bogdanhxcnanny m8 the one dude said metal is dead didn’t you hear

[@ledendpf]

i lost when END kicks in

[@chillgaze]

I knew it was coming but I still lost it at Knocked Loose “Deep in the Willow” 😂

[@maxkaczmarski4787]

This year was surprisingly easy for me, a lot of the breakdowns didnt rly do it for me. Until i got to “on the verge” by thrown, i lost because that just makes me throw elbows

[@kevo9698]

Failed, thanks Unprocessed. And this edition was the hardest, excelent choice of breaks and transitions

[@ludoletono]

Almost had me with The Browning. And to be fair, if it had come last with the synth before the breakdown, I'd have lost there. Also, no sexy sax and thall from FROMJOY? Aw shucks!

[@jordankitan3945]

Humanity's last breath almost killed me 💀

[@SKdaGamer]

Lost at Cellar Door (I love that breakdown so much) Absolutely love these videos btw too there's so many bands and songs I haven't heard of in them, time to go listen to more bands!

[@HardcoreKeem]

THE BEST ONE!

[@ДаниилБелаш-б7ь]

It's almost impossible to be frozen when there are Labyrinthian and Immolation of The Night. But I've passed, ooh

[@jingdomingo8022]

wasn't ready for dying wish but I passed with flying colors

[@ernisg.3709]

Mouth for War holy shit what a find. Perfect album :O insanely good heaviness

[@Vitold23]

ну ти вальнув з початку, не церемонився)) рік був тяжкий, але в хорошому сенсі слова для сцени 🦍

[@SyntheticDramaMusic]

Great picks, I also did a TNTHC and I see we have common tastes on heavy music. Take a look if you want to break your neck ;)

[@snowedmochii]

Failed miserably on the start, failed miserably at the end lol - AMAZING one and your hardest since 2021! God this was torture.

[@bogdanhxc]

Thank you!

[@whereyoufindus]

Holy shit the Knocked Loose -> Spiritbox transition was 🔥🔥

[@bogdanhxc]

Thanks haha

[@naDalous]

Was not expecting Dissipate so early on... I was about to break my neck from headbanging

[@emperorzorg2786]

So glad the breakdown in :signal: wasnt part of this. I would have instantly lost

[@Riiivio]

Finally, the best moment of the year! 🔥

[@bogdanhxc]

Hell yeah you know it

[@phieffectphi]

Heard "Knocked Loose MotherF***er and instantly lost. One of the best years for this challenge

[@onewayout_official]

Lost on "on the verge". Not ashamed even a little.

[@Daleninar]

allt was the one getting me, the orphan breed is such a banger. Hard year, btw.

[@metalcorejedi8835]

Yo not gonna lie. Standing while doing this up the chances of crowd killing your room by 100%. Every damn song got me 😂. I lost

[@dauntusgaming]

How could you not put in the breakdown at the end of Black Wave by moodring? So sad

[@DrewPwnage]

Probably the hardest challenge you have uploaded to date brother! Texas in July almost got me, but I passed!

[@jacobscanlon9311]

Going right in with some Gideon groove train was straight cruel dude.

[@RevolutionDrummer47]

Dang, I think I caught myself with a little nod with Invent Animate. Great bangers.

[@valentjn00]

10/10 ❤ This could have easily lasted 1 hour but what a difficult choices

[@bogdanhxc]

Thank you! It totally could have. My first edit was like 12 mins but I thought it was too much

[@jacobscanlon9311]

@@bogdanhxcso what you’re saying is a director’s cut exists for some extra challenge…? 👀

[@bogdanhxc]

@@jacobscanlon9311 sadly no, but I kinda wanna do one for this year

[@JoshkatMetalPunk]

I passed, just wrote down new bands and songs that I haven't heard. Did Tallah released an album last year?

[@phobixthething5692]

They released a song called Hard Knock, it’s great! No album though

[@silentjaybob345]

Invent animate and texas in july were pure pain.

[@breakdownstv9284]

I gave up on To The Grave! I didn't expect this breakdown! Thanks for the challenge!

[@TanjPlays]

Everyone's passing and there's me breaking at Concrete Ceiling! Found some new bangers here so thanks, great compilation of breakdowns as always🤘🤘

[@maxc5981]

Graphic Nature got me ugh! Impeccable work as always, Bog

[@tassmatt7927]

Almost lost it when Half Me dropped, then Ryan Reynolds hit me with a Mint Mobile ad. I will never forget that wave of relief.

[@omegashinra7672]

Fuuuck, forgot what I was doing when that Polaris riff hit and lost super early on this one. Why do they have to be so fucking good.

[@JLVCII]

Heyyy great to see Orthodox made it, i literally just made a comment about them on the last video And Dying wish, imo Lost in the Fall could've made it too but all their music lately could've made it on the list.

[@quicksam9941]

Texas in July almost had me. then Half Me FKD me up. that groove is monumental, had me involuntarily bangin the head.

[@jacobroberts2128]

I cannot stress how happy it makes me that Darkmatter made it on to this year's video among all these excellent bands. Fuck yeah, Perth Up and Coming represent!!
