That Dying Fetus album is so good! Every track is strong, no doubts! Frozen Soul's album is awesome and so is CC's. Sadus's The Shadow Inside brings back that old thrash metal feel and that also rocks. 2023 has been an excellent year for metal, and especially Death Metal.

You have quite a few I haven't heard so I'll check out for sure! Always enjoy your videos! Enjoy 🤘 ☕
Interesting list, I personally thought that Avenged Sevenfold’s newest album was the worst album of the year but we all have different opinions and if it’s your number 1 favorite that’s cool. The new Dying Fetus, Hellripper, and Horrendous albums are in my top 10 favorite metal albums of the year. I thought the new Paramore, Tomb Mold, Baroness, Spirit Adrift, Cannibal Corpse, and Suffocation albums were good too. The new Zenith Passage, Code Orange, Cryptopsy, and Frozen Soul albums were decent. Never been a fan of Sanguisugabogg and felt the same about their new album and was let down by the new Metallica. I want to check out Mutoid Man since Ben Koller from Converge is in that band, which does interest me in to checking them out.
5. 'Infinite Psychic Depths' by Outer Heaven 4. 'Horned Lord for the Thorned Castle' by Moonlight Sorcery 3. 'The Last Laugh' by Exhibition 2. 'Sator Arepo' by Judgitzu 1. 'Seasons Dreaming Death' by GraveRipper
Good to see you again! The absence of Cattle Decapitation was a bit shocking tbh, and I’m not really in on the A7X record, sorry😅 BUT my top 20 albums + 1 non-metal album at the end is here: 1 Hellripper - Warlocks Grim & Withered Hags 2 Chronicle - Where Chaos Thrives 3 Exelerate - Exelerate 4 Raven - All Hell’s Breaking Loose 5 Trimpher - Storming the Walls 6 Enforced - War Remains 7 Uriah Heep - Chaos & Colour 8 Bekor Qilish - The Flesh of a New God 9 Dying Fetus - Make Them Beg for Death 10 Cattle Decapitation - Terrasite 11 Genocide Doctrine - Sleepers 12 Angra - Cycles of Pain 13 Jesus Piece - …So Unknown 14 Alice Cooper - Road 15 Terrifier - Trample the Weak, Devour the Dead 16 Lipid - The Perfect Killing Machine 17 Imperishable - Come, Sweet Death 18 Graveripper - Seasons Dreaming Death 19 Anthem - Crimson & Jet Black 20 Ironmaster - Weapons of Spiritual Carnage Non-metal surprise: Rick Astley - Are We There Yet? (Damn, I was shocked by how much I loved this record!)
Not huge with deat metal, but ill check some of these out. My favorite album was probably tesseract war of being. I just didnt listen to any other new records nearly as much as that album. And i wasnt a fan of tesseracts last two albums, but war of being might atleast be their second best album imo. Could be first depending on the day.
I know this is all objective. I love a lot of those picks but your number one was highly unexpected. I was not a fan of this album at all. It was super nice to see someone else listed Frozen Soul in their top 5! LOVE that record!

Great list POJ! I was very surprised with how well both the Cryptopsy and Suffocation album were. Olivia Rodrigo was fun. Also really enjoyed Code Orange, Cannibal corpse, The Bogg, Spirit Adrift and Hellripper.
Suffocation, Dying Fetus, and Cannibal Corpse are my top 3 in some order. At first I thought Chaos Horrific was a bit of a step down from Violence Unimagined, but I grew to really like the differences in production and the shift of focus onto guitar leads and evil sounding riffs. I think it's pretty close to on-par, just lacking a little of the aggression and memorability of some songs on Violence Unimagined.
I feel Chaos Horrific and Violence Unimagined are pretty equal for me! Both albums have some really awesome stand outs but also some filler that’s still cool
There’s an album called ‘Treacherous Ways’ by a band called Helm’s Deep I’ve been listening to nonstop. If you like classic metal, NWOTHM that sounds old school but also new and unique. It’s so good.
Inamorata is probably a top 10 Metallica song for me now. Their best song in 25-30 years! 🤘🤘 I'm a huge fan of all eras of Metallica including the late 90s with Load and Reload. I know those albums aren't as "metal" as their earlier work but I think the songwriting is really good and the style they were going for worked. But I agree with everyone when they say that their 80s stuff can't be beat!
Glad to see you include other genres on your personal list! Only poseurs listen to exclusively metal. Also, I don’t know if Dying Fetus are for me, but that album cover goes so hard it makes me want to reconsider.
Hi collègue j’ai une petite question Aime tu le Death Core , Tech Death Melo , genre ´Downfall of Gaia ´Suicide Silence ´ ´Venus ´ ´Vektor ´ ´´Sylosis ´………..si tu aimes passionnément la bonne musique alors arrête tout et écoute VENUS ´Observatory until….’ , c’est vraiment intense et passionnant . Intense Il y a aussi XOTH , VECTOR , SPIRIT qui s’amusent pareil .
1. Storming the Walls - Triumpher (Heavy Metal/PM) 2. The Conquest of Time - Century (Heavy Metal) 3. Treacherous Ways - Helms Deep (Heavy Metal/PM) 4. Throne of the Lunar Soul - Valdrin (Blackened PM) 5. Molten Rainbow - Antioch (Heavy Metal) 6. Dragon Skull EP - Dragon Skull (Heavy Metal/PM) 7. Nostalgia - Enforcer (Heavy Metal) 8. Horned Lord of the Thorned Castle - Moonlight Sorcery (Blackened PM) 9. Riders of the Ancient Storm - Heavy Load (Heavy Metal) 10. Warlocks Grim & Withered Hags - Hellripper (Blackened Heavy Metal) I listen to a lot of traditional metal and PM. Storming the Walls, my favorite album of the year, blends dark and heavy and power metal with hints of more extreme styles so well. This album is the very definition of epic. If you want an album with BM influence (but not necessarily BM) I'd highly recommend both Throne of the Lunar Soul and Horned Lord of the Thorned Castle. Both are incredibly atmospheric and melodic.
Cool list fun to hear your different tastes. Must disagree with A7X. I like a lot of prog metal and I just think they missed it with this one. The first time I heard it I was somewhat surprised and curious, but after like 2 or 3 listens I just didn’t wanna go back to it at all.
As usual, whenever I create a "best of" annual year-end list I leave a bunch of good stuff off and 2023 was no exception at all. I probably could have made this list ten times longer and boring af to read, but that said, barring a complete miracle for 2023's last month, I have what would be the 25 albums that I enjoyed the most this year: 1. Lovebites -- Judgement Day 2. Delain -- Dark Waters 3. Hellripper -- Warlocks Grim and Withered Hags 4. Insomnium -- Anno 1696 5. Overkill -- Scorched 6. Redshift -- Laws of Entropy 7. Xandria -- The Wonders Still Awaiting 8. Perc3ption -- Art In Extreme Situations 9. Fierce Justice -- Fireborn 10. Acid King -- Beyond Vision 11. Enforced -- War Remains 12. Wytch Hazel -- IV: Sacrament 13. Restless Spirit -- Afterimage 14. Kalmah -- S/T 15. Ne Obliviscaris -- Exul 16. Echoes of Bronze -- Ilium 17. Night Legion -- Fight or Fall 18. Enchantya -- Cerberus 19. Majesties -- Vast Reaches Unclaimed 20. Midnight Vice -- S/T (the riffs on this are KILLER) 21. Excalion -- Once Upon A Time 22. Naitaka -- Emergence 23. Blood Ceremony -- The Old Ways Remain 24. Soen -- Memorial 25. Iron Savior -- Firestar Just missed: Dhaliax -- Doomed , Obituary -- Dying of Everything, Blackbraid -- Blackbraid II, Cruachan -- The Living and the Dead, Enslaved -- Heimdal, Blackbriar -- A Dark Euphony, Moonlight Sorcery -- Horned Lord of the Thorned Castle, Akilla -- The Gods Have Spoken, Omnium Gatherum -- Slasher, Powerwolf-- Interludium, Orbit Culture -- Descent, Green Lung -- This Heathen Land, Twilight Force -- At the Heart of Wintervale, Frozen Crown -- Call of the North and Exmortus -- Necrophony. Even with 25, I left off a LOT of good stuff.
No love for Horrendous?! Damn! Enjoyed the list regardless. Im with you on the Paramore thing. Never been a big fan but checked out the album for some reason and it went right into regular rotation this year. Gonna check out the Rodrigo album since its nowhere on my radar. Thanks for the list. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Tomb Mold getting flack because what they wear and for having a pink background on a magazine cover was so fucking dumb like don't people have nothing better to do lol side note. I was surprised that how much i loved the new A7X record since I've never liked their previous material
1) Afterbirth - In But Not Of 2) Moonlight Sorcery - Horned Lord Of the Thorned Castle 3) Horrendous - Ontological Mysterium 4) Wayfarer - American Gothic 5) Triumpher - Storming The Walls 6) Convocation - No Dawn For The Caliginous Night 7) Cattle Decapitation - Terrasite 8) Malokarpatan - Vertumnus Caesar 9) Sacred Outcry - Towers Of Gold 10) Hellripper - Warlocks Grim & Withered Hags 11) Stortregn - Finitude 12) Fires in the Distance - Air Not Meant For Us 13) A Constant Knowledge of Death - Dissecting An One-Winged Bird 14) Thantifaxath - Hive Mind Narcosis 15) Cruciamentum - Obsidian Refractions 16) Dying Fetus - Make Them Beg For Death 17) Smoulder - Violent Creed of Vengeance 18) Insomnium - Anno 1696 19) Nospün - Opus 20) Enforced - War Remains * It's great to see you still post the occasional video, Jeans. Great list BTW!

@pairofjeansreviews2034 for sure dude,so many good albums this year I haven't seen so many completely different top album lists. Great to see. Thanks for the video, got some new stuff to check out! OK goodnight is a trip, never heard of them before but it's dope.
I am a full blown metal head and love the new Olivia Rodrigo fan as well. She also made my top 20 albums of the year Also Frozen Soul is awesome seen them live 3 times this year
Any year end list that doesn’t have Terrasite by Cattle Decapitation in the top three (let alone the top 20!) is invalid. Blackbraid 2 was also awesome. No problem with enjoying non metal albums though, personally I loved the new Blink-182 album this year, sue me. I let out an audible “ugh” of disgust at A7X being number 1 or even on a list. But hey, everyone’s allowed to like what they like! Good list
i had to stop when you got to 72 seasons bro! What happened bro? Are you taking the shit drugs or something? Nah..you lost me there because there was SO MUCh great music released in 2023. Ill check your next vid out but Come on !!1 Stay safe and be safe mr POJ

Thanks so much for including 'Warlocks Grim & Withered Hags' in your list!! Much appreciated! 🐐🐐🐐
That Dying Fetus album is so good! Every track is strong, no doubts! Frozen Soul's album is awesome and so is CC's. Sadus's The Shadow Inside brings back that old thrash metal feel and that also rocks. 2023 has been an excellent year for metal, and especially Death Metal.
Haven’t gotten to check out the new Sadus yet :( they’re on my checkout list since I love their old stuff
I’m old school thrash guy and mostly stuck in my 80 stuff, but Dying Fetus is so damn good!

Obituary went hard!
Nice to see you,we miss you

A very literate, well presented video. Nice choices
Thanks duuude

The new Dying Fetus, Hellripper, and Horrendous albums are in my top 10 favorite metal albums of the year. I thought the new Paramore, Tomb Mold, Baroness, Spirit Adrift, Cannibal Corpse, and Suffocation albums were good too. The new Zenith Passage, Code Orange, Cryptopsy, and Frozen Soul albums were decent. Never been a fan of Sanguisugabogg and felt the same about their new album and was let down by the new Metallica. I want to check out Mutoid Man since Ben Koller from Converge is in that band, which does interest me in to checking them out.
It's really interesting and funny how divisive it is. Literally a "love it or hate it" album
I really enjoy the new a7x album. I’d say it’s like an 8-8.5/10 in my opinion
5. 'Infinite Psychic Depths' by Outer Heaven
4. 'Horned Lord for the Thorned Castle' by Moonlight Sorcery
3. 'The Last Laugh' by Exhibition
2. 'Sator Arepo' by Judgitzu
1. 'Seasons Dreaming Death' by GraveRipper
Nice shirt!
Code Orange, Avenged Sevenfold, King Gizzard and Svalbard are my favourite records
Hell yes!

BUT my top 20 albums + 1 non-metal album at the end is here:
1 Hellripper - Warlocks Grim & Withered Hags
2 Chronicle - Where Chaos Thrives
3 Exelerate - Exelerate
4 Raven - All Hell’s Breaking Loose
5 Trimpher - Storming the Walls
6 Enforced - War Remains
7 Uriah Heep - Chaos & Colour
8 Bekor Qilish - The Flesh of a New God

20 Ironmaster - Weapons of Spiritual Carnage
Non-metal surprise:
Rick Astley - Are We There Yet? (Damn, I was shocked by how much I loved this record!)
Terrasite was really good! I just didn’t relisten to it too much after it came out so that’s why it didn’t make the list
Good to see you again, man! You gave me lots of stuff I haven't heard yet to check out.
Heck yes!
Yesss finally a new video! 🎉
Classic black metal isn't my favorite either, but i really loved "Erzdämon" by Mystic Circle and "Zwielicht" by Mental Cruelty this year
Not huge with deat metal, but ill check some of these out. My favorite album was probably tesseract war of being. I just didnt listen to any other new records nearly as much as that album. And i wasnt a fan of tesseracts last two albums, but war of being might atleast be their second best album imo. Could be first depending on the day.
Good to see you back, man, always enjoy your videos
❤️
I know this is all objective. I love a lot of those picks but your number one was highly unexpected. I was not a fan of this album at all. It was super nice to see someone else listed Frozen Soul in their top 5! LOVE that record!

Great list POJ! I was very surprised with how well both the Cryptopsy and Suffocation album were. Olivia Rodrigo was fun. Also really enjoyed Code Orange, Cannibal corpse, The Bogg, Spirit Adrift and Hellripper.
Heck yes!
Suffocation, Dying Fetus, and Cannibal Corpse are my top 3 in some order. At first I thought Chaos Horrific was a bit of a step down from Violence Unimagined, but I grew to really like the differences in production and the shift of focus onto guitar leads and evil sounding riffs. I think it's pretty close to on-par, just lacking a little of the aggression and memorability of some songs on Violence Unimagined.
I feel Chaos Horrific and Violence Unimagined are pretty equal for me! Both albums have some really awesome stand outs but also some filler that’s still cool
There’s an album called ‘Treacherous Ways’ by a band called Helm’s Deep I’ve been listening to nonstop. If you like classic metal, NWOTHM that sounds old school but also new and unique. It’s so good.
You’re back! 👍
Inamorata is probably a top 10 Metallica song for me now. Their best song in 25-30 years! 🤘🤘 I'm a huge fan of all eras of Metallica including the late 90s with Load and Reload. I know those albums aren't as "metal" as their earlier work but I think the songwriting is really good and the style they were going for worked. But I agree with everyone when they say that their 80s stuff can't be beat!
liked directly!
Could you rank the albums by The Beatles, Stones, Kinks and Who in one video?
Glad to see you include other genres on your personal list! Only poseurs listen to exclusively metal. Also, I don’t know if Dying Fetus are for me, but that album cover goes so hard it makes me want to reconsider.
The album cover was what initially made me hyped for the record! The singles were killer but the cover made me preorder the vinyl immediately
incredibly based no1 pick
Hey hello. Did you check BURDEN CALLED GOD? Belgium newcomer in the deathmetal scene.
The new Code Orange album is amazing, crazy how much this band has evolved & grown
Hi collègue j’ai une petite question Aime tu le Death Core , Tech Death Melo , genre
´Downfall of Gaia
´Suicide Silence ´
´Venus ´
´Vektor ´
´´Sylosis ´………..si tu aimes passionnément la bonne musique alors arrête tout et écoute VENUS ´Observatory until….’ , c’est vraiment intense et passionnant . Intense
Il y a aussi XOTH , VECTOR , SPIRIT qui s’amusent pareil .
Staind, Story of The Year and Rancid. Only 3 albums that mattered to me.
8:20 what are you referring to?
1. Storming the Walls - Triumpher (Heavy Metal/PM)
2. The Conquest of Time - Century (Heavy Metal)
3. Treacherous Ways - Helms Deep (Heavy Metal/PM)
4. Throne of the Lunar Soul - Valdrin (Blackened PM)
5. Molten Rainbow - Antioch (Heavy Metal)
6. Dragon Skull EP - Dragon Skull (Heavy Metal/PM)
7. Nostalgia - Enforcer (Heavy Metal)
8. Horned Lord of the Thorned Castle - Moonlight Sorcery (Blackened PM)
9. Riders of the Ancient Storm - Heavy Load (Heavy Metal)
10. Warlocks Grim & Withered Hags - Hellripper (Blackened Heavy Metal)
I listen to a lot of traditional metal and PM. Storming the Walls, my favorite album of the year, blends dark and heavy and power metal with hints of more extreme styles so well. This album is the very definition of epic. If you want an album with BM influence (but not necessarily BM) I'd highly recommend both Throne of the Lunar Soul and Horned Lord of the Thorned Castle. Both are incredibly atmospheric and melodic.
Lets goooo

It's great to see you still post the occasional video, Jeans. Great list BTW!
Thanks dude! You have some bangers on yours as well
agreed. olivia rodrigo is a great artist and that album is great. also yeah the new code orange is a masterpiece
Yeeees!
In no particular order other than # 1
10- obituary dying of everything
9 - baroness stone

5 - bath house - the lions daughter
4 - fuming mouth- last days of sun

2 - frozen soul - glacial domination
1 - CATTLE DECAPITATION - TERRASITE
Obituary’s album went hard. Terrasite was good but honestly didn’t revisit it much after it came out so that’s why it didn’t make my list
@pairofjeansreviews2034 for sure dude,so many good albums this year I haven't seen so many completely different top album lists. Great to see. Thanks for the video, got some new stuff to check out! OK goodnight is a trip, never heard of them before but it's dope.
I am a full blown metal head and love the new Olivia Rodrigo fan as well. She also made my top 20 albums of the year
Also Frozen Soul is awesome seen them live 3 times this year
Am I the only one who liked Wrong one to fuck with more than the new dying fetus?
EVIL INCARNATE-LUCIFERS CROWN
Any year end list that doesn’t have Terrasite by Cattle Decapitation in the top three (let alone the top 20!) is invalid. Blackbraid 2 was also awesome.
No problem with enjoying non metal albums though, personally I loved the new Blink-182 album this year, sue me. I let out an audible “ugh” of disgust at A7X being number 1 or even on a list. But hey, everyone’s allowed to like what they like! Good list
Terrasite was good, but I didn’t find myself going back to it to much after like a month or so of release
i had to stop when you got to 72 seasons bro! What happened bro? Are you taking the shit drugs or something? Nah..you lost me there because there was SO MUCh great music released in 2023. Ill check your next vid out but Come on !!1 Stay safe and be safe mr POJ

Terrasite demolishes. I’d say it’s one of their best alongside the Anthropocene extinction and monolith.
That autopsy record slayed too!
@@Coconuthut1 Agreed 😎
@@pairofjeansreviews2034 Yep. Didn't expect it to be that good😎
No Orbit Culture ? 😂
No terrasite?? 😮
I liked Terrasite, but didn’t revisit it much throughout the year so I couldn’t justify it on the list
72 Seasons blows goat
