Went through Angry Metal Guy's 2022 top ten and this was the album I liked the most. Not a total fan of the vocals but the music is sweet.

Any reason why this isn't on the Best Albums of 2022 CHARTS tab? It’s got an overall rating of 4.1 with 218 votes. That would make it no. 1 on the charts (all genres) beating Norma Jean Deathrattle Sing for Me which has an overall rating of 4.06 with 133 votes

Y'all checking this new Majesties record?



as we are on a record with some melodic death metal influence, figured it'd be appropriate to mention it.

Oooooh. Doing so now. This year hasn't blown me away with releases so far so I'm open to any recs.

It's basically a Gothenburg tribute album but a well-produced one fwiw! Worth the check for some nice melodies.

4 songs in and I'm not gonna lie, I'm not super into it. Sounds like a carbon copy of Jester Race-era In Flames with little identity outside of that. Maybe that's the point but I wish there was something else there so far. I'll still listen to the whole thing though.

Yeah that's my problem with it too. Entirely depends on where you set the bar for mdm nowadays, like if you need an old-school fix and that's enough or you're craving something with some more MEAT on its bones (i.e. this album).

I used to be HUGE into mdm like 10 years ago so if I had heard this at the time I would have eaten it up. I tend to gravitate to more proggy things nowadays so I can still go back and enjoy those old In Flames/Arch Enemy/Amon Amarth albums but I rarely seek anything out from that sound anymore...including the newer output from those 3 mentioned bands. Nowadays that itch is scratched by bands like this, Shadow of Intent, and Rivers of Nihil.

It's funny, because I'm in a little bit of a melodic phase NOW pretty late into my music journey (power metal and mdm), so everything feels a *little* bit more fresh at the moment. Even so, I do find stuff that mimics the greats too closely to be grating; for me, you gotta make an effort to at least somewhat tweak the formula/add a unique voice, otherwise I check out.



Can I interest you some Imperial Circus Dead Decadence in these trying times?

Looks like they're not on Tidal unfortunately, but I do appreciate it. Imma peep this new Entheos once this last song finishes up.

Ayyy I just finished listening to that album, it's unfortunately mid incarnate but maybe you'll like it.



ICDD might on YouTube! They're def worth a shot, some insane mdm from Japan.
