Muzz79: Best Melodic Metal So Far '23

Muzz79 06.30.23	RIP Ryan Siew
Scheumke 06.30.23	Nice list! Couple of these I haven't heard yet so will check. Would personally add: - Ne Obliviscaris - The Ocean - Scar Symmetry - Atavistia - King Gizzard - Klone
Muzz79 06.30.23	Thanks Scheumke. I’ll check your last 3. Don’t think King Gizzard is for me but should peep anyway
Ectier 06.30.23	...and oceans was this year? Thought it was last year huh.
Muzz79 06.30.23	Yeah just this year. What you’re favs so far?
Azazzel 06.30.23	new Moonlight Sorcery was cute for quickie, want to name drop them anyways cause 2022 EPs were ELITE and their debut LP will be an OTY when it finally comes your idea of melodic is a little funny but your list! good stuff just missing for me: Thulcandra Aara Majesties nobody's rated this one but look at that band logo and album art. Album title tells you everything you need to know. The Frost Specter's Wrath by Daemonian https://daemonian.bandcamp.com/album/the-frost-specters-wrath
Ectier 06.30.23	Uhhm idk about melodic Muzz So far: Johnny the boy, Takh (needs to be added to Sput, former black heart rebellion) Downfall of Gaia Ne Obliviscaris The ocean Heimdall
Muzz79 06.30.23	@Azazzel That first Moonlight Sorcery ep from 2022 was great and a full length is anticipated. I'll check Daemonian. @Ectier You're much more into prog metal than I thought, great stuff. Another one for you which I forgot - I added in just now. Druids of Eld ep from Matt Dodds who's played with Be’lakor. Def worth checking out. A bit along the lines of Agalloch and Nechochwen
Dedes 07.01.23	Man loads of shit i've forgotten to jam, ty my brother in arms Never jammed And Oceans but i've always figured they'd be something I adored
Ectier 07.01.23	Ive got that on my phone! @Muzz ivr just forgotton about it
Muzz79 07.01.23	m//
Muzz79 07.03.23	One last addition for first half '23. Already love the melodies and emotional weight of new Before the Dawn
DType 07.26.23	Walg - III
Muzz79 07.26.23	Will do
rockarollacola 07.26.23	So is this list only Melo-death?
Hawks 07.26.23	Gotta jam 24, love Graveworm so much. Didn't know they had a new one coming. m/
DType 07.26.23	"So is this list only Melo-death?" I think it's just melodic stuff
bellovddd 07.26.23	27 is their best work. so damn good. 11 goes hard
Muzz79 07.26.23	Yeah all styles of melodic metal. Which is what I dig
Muzz79 07.26.23	Woah that Walg has a Mourning Palace cover. one of my fav songs. Yep Walg is my thing. cheers for rec And Graveworm is a beast. Escorting the soul & Where agony prevails rip
DType 07.26.23	Glad you dig it m/ it was a neat surprise for me early this year
Azazzel 07.26.23	if you make a playlist of 2023 tracks similar to this list I'd love to have it
Muzz79 07.27.23	Similar to this list?
frozencarl 07.27.23	31 looks pretty cool, gonna be checkin some from here that i missed m/
Muzz79 07.28.23	lemme know what ones hit carl m/
frozencarl 08.01.23	31 was pretty dope even if a bit too short
pizzamachine 08.01.23	Some good uns
SomeCallMeTim 08.01.23	still need to check the new thy catefalque
DungeonBoy 08.01.23	Check the new Astralborne: https://astralborne.bandcamp.com/album/across-the-aeons
Muzz79 08.02.23	Yep 31 is a short debut - quality over quantity was the aim im guessing. Dungeon I tried Astralbourne and liked it the first spin but not the second. I'll go at it again Cheers pizza
DungeonBoy 08.02.23	interesting Muzz! Those Gothenburg melodies are hitting the spot for me and I like the blend of "actual" death metal vox (although a bit too processed) in my melodeath. Reminds me of Vehemence God Was Created if you've ever jammed that album.
Muzz79 08.02.23	I can’t remember God Was Created but rly dug Helping the World to see. Which was death metal that’s melodic, not melodic death metal iykwim
DungeonBoy 08.02.23	yup yup ikwym
Muzz79 08.04.23	might as well keep adding to this
Muzz79 08.11.23	Evoking Winds may be the best album I've heard this year Top 5 unranked would be Evoking Winds Thy Catafalque Before the Dawn Idolatrous Enslaved
lucazade22 08.11.23	25 ftw
Muzz79 08.11.23	Rly dig the sound/mix on that one. Great album
Muzz79 09.01.23	2 new entries - soon to be joined by Fathomage
Muzz79 09.07.23	After an uninspired August, I found 5 new worthy albums for the list in the last week- 38-42 are all excellent
pizzamachine 09.07.23	Noice
Hawks 09.07.23	Fuck yeah new Immortal rules.
Muzz79 09.07.23	These are pizza and hawks jams
frozencarl 09.07.23	i love that Sworn album a lot, but hawks does not >: )
Muzz79 09.08.23	Dude these are carl jams too dw. I'd like your take on 20 and 33 pls. Hmmm yeah he didn't dig Sworn - but I certainly do
naughtcturnal 09.08.23	siiiick list
Muzz79 09.08.23	Good year for metal! 3 new albums just popped up - new Sodomisery which will likely slay, and new Sylosis which I’m not sure about. And a new one called Sacrifice - The Art of Decay which will also get a listen
frozencarl 09.08.23	gonna give 20 and 33 a spin today. they look promising
Azazzel 09.23.23	heard the new Moonlight Sorcery yet? also got an under the radar random find I though was excellent fun blend of black/melo/power, Cerebrium https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62pQEZjJveg
frozencarl 09.25.23	that Cerebrium album looks really promising, going to give it a spin new Mercenary album has exceeded my expectations. might be my favorite release of their ever. very good stuff
Muzz79 09.26.23	Hanging out for new moonlight sorcery waiting for the full release. Ok will spin Cerebrium & Mercenary m/
DungeonBoy 09.26.23	Mercenary is still a band? That's wild, I remember 11 Dreams from back in the day, always wanted to like them more, but maybe need to give some of their albums a respin. Will check though Carl
frozencarl 09.26.23	yea dude! their last album came out a decade ago. this new album of theirs has something in it for everyone, I think you'll enjoy it
Wicka4392 09.26.23	Wow this is a really in depth roster, I might have to check some of the stuff off here. Thanks for compiling this : )
Muzz79 09.27.23	^No worries dude Ok, back from spinning Cerebrium & Mercenary. Enjoyed Cerebrium, liked its a bit different. Reminded me a bit of Noctule. Will definitely go back to it. Woah Mercenary you weren't wrong, immediately dug it and there's a heap of quality to absorb. Dk this band tbh but this is real varied and interesting. 2 good recs Another release I'm keeping an eye on this week is Dark the Suns
Muzz79 10.17.23	Some solid additions to crack the 50
