Erm... it feels like 90% of bands I listened to this year fit into that category.

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

#GreenLung 🏆

Honourable mentions:

#Endseeker
#Smoulder
#Eridu
#Allfather

#ViennaMetalMeeting report 🧵

Part 1

Oh man it felt great to be back where all are dressed black 🤘

The first act of the day was an Austrian band called #Dusk. Spoiler alert: they were my discovery of the evening.

We didn't know them, and were really impressed! They play some kind of psychodelic fantasy pagan themed heavy metal, you should check them out:

added:
2 great albums (#Kvelertak, #Omnivortex )
1 good album (#Primordial)
2 solid ones which I'll probably listen to again (#KKsPriest, #TesseracT )
2 solid ones that didn't really click, but are appreciated (#Girlschool, #Baroness).

What's on your list?
