Today’s category for @HailsandAles' 2023 #MetalheadClubAwards is Discovery of the year: A band that released music in 2023 that you had never listened to before?

Erm... it feels like 90% of bands I listened to this year fit into that category.
So I'll crank it up an choose from bands I never even heard of before.

It's a close one, but my winners are:

#GreenLung 🏆

Honourable mentions:

#Endseeker
#Smoulder
#Eridu
#Allfather
#TheRollingStones
#Roadwolf
#Primordial
#Drain
#Memoriam
...

How about some mesopotamian melodic blackened death from Munich for #MittwochMetalMix , one from a recent album called #EnumaElish , which I ranked very high on my #AOTY2023 list?

Here you go:

#Eridu - Clay, Blood and Vengeance
