Thank you for sharing Lindsay. Honestly, every week, i look forward to the next NMM release. This is my musical food for the week 😀 Also, as a french native, it allows me to improve my english vocabulary, especially adjectives !!! Love the scotish accent as well. Have a nice week

Preference wise I appreciate that Megadeth was left off and is not your flavor.

Lindsay have you listened to Genus Ordinis Dei – The Land East of Eden? Get on it for interesting melodeath with some symphonics

buena reseña como siempre yo recomiendo escuchar ENSHINE "ELEVATION" no diré que es de otro mundo pero me parece melódico y digno de una escucha
@WalkerGamble-m1m
August 28, 2026 at 4:03 pm
Thank you for mentioning that some of these weren’t in English. Will definitely check out Karloff.

I cant pronounce any of those either, but they sound pretty cool! Thanks for the recommendations going to give them all a spin.
@Ilnath
August 28, 2026 at 4:03 pm
At least the band Tjaktjadálvve is easy to pronounce …🙂they also have a new release in February

Karloff and Juodvarnis sound very interesting
@Massingham1
August 28, 2026 at 4:03 pm
Love the sound of Karloff. Looking forward to diving into that badboy! 🤘🏻🔥

Blackened heavy metal can be a fantastic mix. I really noticed it on the last hellripper album when he started mixing it into his usual blend of blackened speed and thrash. If the Scotsman keeps it happening on the next album I’ll be happy. I’ll check out the Karloff album and see if I dig it

Megadeth's album was fine though, even if they're miles off their golden years they're still better than some of the recommendations but hey your channel your choice, cheers
@stewartgardiner5547
August 28, 2026 at 4:03 pm
I liked some of Megadeth new album and also some of Poppy new album.

Hi Lindsay, hope youre well, long time since I messaged but alwaus try and listen at least. Cant help you with the Lithuanian, but the French album title is pronounced, "Owes Ur Day Zess pay ray" Say it quite fast and it'll sound fine! Cheers!
