Could you listen to Finnish AS THE SUN FALLS – A Shimmer On The Tides, new singel out. Fans of Insomnium and Tuomas Saukkonen projects should check out!
Older material is great aswell.

Random question do you have a dog or cat and if so do you sing songs to them? I have my dog blu and I’m always singing the “blues clues” song to her

As always thank you for the recommendations. I’ve been listening to the blut aus nord album since it came out I still need to check out the other recommendations. Happy Holidays

I like Alisa from Arch Enemy song on her own solo song. Ergot Dwcade. You use to do indervidual songs for a wee while.

I'm really enjoying the new equilibrium album, even though it is different to past releases.
@javierel22

Really liked Avdagata even if obviously it's not the most original sound ever, it's actually a fairly good album. On the other hand, haven't heard anything from Equilibrium since Erdentempel and boy this is definitely not for me at all, to put it softly. Will wait as usual for your top 40, cheers!

Hey Lindz!!! Sad it is the last NMM of 2025; I'm excited for NMM for 2026!! You saved one of my most anticipated for last!!
Also, I really loved Sworn to Death 🇭🇷 this week, too!! And, as an Ohioan, the downward spiral REDUX is gospel.
Well done!!!

Blut Aus Nord dropped what I think is the most beautiful and uplifting metal album of the year;it’s honestly gorgeous.
And Malefic Throne? Absolutely savage in the best way. It’s so vicious and nasty, and has that perfect old-school vibe… Love it!

Awesome reviews and I will check out a couple that I missed! Check out the new Defacement, Omegavortex, Perdition Temple, Phobocosm, Unviâr, and Dead and Dripping! Some bangers there also! Keep up the great work!!

Already ordered Crypt of Decay, Malefic Throne and Perdition Temple. Some unreal releases in December.
Have to check the rest of your list. Some definitely solid black metal options. Trying to find that Thy Disease album to purchase agree love what I hear there.
