For today's #MetalheadClubAwards @HailsandAles gave us a big one:

Song of the year.

My song of the year is Made To Parade by #QueensOfTheStoneAge

But since QOTSA is not metal, here is my metal song of the year is:

Kingmaker by #Screamer 👑

https://wearescreamer.bandcamp.com/album/kingmaker?t=1

That intro riff is just so damn good 🤘

Honourable mentions:

#Hellripper - I, The Deceiver
#KingGizzard - Dragon
#Smoulder - Spellforger
#Katatonia - Austerity
#Eridu - Clay, Blood and Vengeance
#Roadwolf - High Under Pressure

So close 👌 and Obituary would have hit the double jackpot by winning both today's #AlbumOddTheYear2023 award and @HailsandAles ' #MetalheadClubAwards2023 for favourite artwork of 2023.

While the album cover of "Dying of Everything" is really appealing, I like the retro style of Screamer's latest album "Kingmaker" a bit more.

So my award for best cover goes to

#Screamer - #Kingmaker 👏

From time to time I ask myself if Screamer's #Kingmaker should really be that high up my #AOTY list, but then I put it on and the intro riff to Kingmaker and and and.... man it's good 🤘

I'll also nominate this marvelous song for #MittwochMetalMix

#30MoreSongsChallenge

#Day39 – A Fresh Favorite
A song that’s been released less than a year ago.

I was going to pick #Screamer, but @pro already did that so I'm gonna go with one that was released last year, which would have been on top of my #AOTY2022 list, if I had one:

#Hath - Kenosis

But wait... no... that's actually not true. My AOTY2022 is without a doubt Ghost's Impera.

So I'm gonna cheat and pick a second one, here's:

#Ghost - Kaisarion
