Iβm not a Halo Effect fan, I liked it, but not for me. However the three other albums are up my musical alley. So thank you so much and also for quite a lot of new bands I found through your videos when I found you late last year.
You have a great channel and talk about albums not everyone talks about. Glad to hear you are doing well and are back. Look forward to seeing more of what you have to recommend as you have great taste . Have a great day

Hey Lindsay, We recorded an all analog album over the past year and was wondering if you'd review it for us? Druid Warrior on bandcamp

Halo Effect didn't get my interest at first listen, hope it works better later on

Check out the Romanian melodic death doom band Clouds. They just put out a new album titled Desprins.

The Halo Effect album is really good, enjoying that one a lot. So far that and a couple of non-metal releases (Ethel Cain, Lambrini Girls) have been my favourites this month but there's sooo much coming out this Friday!

You have the oddest Scottish accent. Well, apart from Drew McIntyre.

Welcome back! I really missed my dose of new metal music π and what a strong start of the year you brought! Especially Thy Kingdom Will Burn sounds very interesting. You should also check Besna – Krasno, released Jan 16 2025.

Your first three choices could easily be in my top 5 or 6 for January, at least so far. I enjoyed all three very much. I have not listened to Deus Sabaoth, so I will give them a try. Others that I have enjoyed in January are the new releases by Mutagenic Host, Patriarkh, Bergthron, Beriedir, Aeon of Awareness, and Onirophagus.

Cool to see The Obsidian Resurrection on here and glad you dug it! I actually mixed that album and performed all the rhythm guitars as well. Lot of great old school thrash vibes like Dark Angel and Slayer mixed in with the symphonic death metal stuff. Lot of fun to play but a hell of a workout haha m/

Will certainly check out Deus Saboath i love baroque music sounds very interesting cheers

Loved the first half of THE's album not so much the second one tbh. I'll give a spin to the rest of your suggestions, glad to have you back, Lindsay!

You write for Lambgoat? My friends and I often lament that their comment sections are consitently the most toxic corner of the internet. Why is that?
