When he's(Sam Dunn) the boss he's gotta be more open minded. It's fucking metal after all. If you can't open the brain and shovel all the metal shit in, wtf are you doing?? And Brad's being a douchebag. Seriously closed minded throughtout the entire thing. It's fine when he admits certain types aren't his thing but the visceral "WTF?!" shit? Nah...
I agree with Sam that this was the year of death metal. My faves from this year, in no order, are: Carcass - Torn Arteries Rivers of Nihil - The Work Abraded - Abraded 200 Stab Wounds - Slave to the Scapel Cannibal Corpse - Violence Unimagined Archspire - Bleed the Future Cynic - Ascension Codes Thanks for all the sick metal content 🤘
Sarah has a wonderful taste.. She's having a crush on epic but not cheesy sounding metal as she has proven with Havukruunu (just one example) in the past. I mean Stormkeep, Spectral wound and Morgul Blade are fantastic pic's of the year. I had trouble believing these are American bands.. THEY sound totally European. Anyway, congrats and thanks to the whole team for the best and devoted metal content on YT. You are all incredibly warm characters with much passion for what you do.
I love Sarahs picks!! She actually brought my Intention to Havukruunu, they are ond of my favorite Bands now. Stormkeep is definitely also on my top Album list this year.
@@markn1090 ah, okay.. Didn't know. For me as an European guy it's just excellent stuff from "over there". 😜 Canada is plausible, because you need plenty of forests around to write stuff like Spectral wound.
Don’t forget to check out these albums before the end of the year! Rivers of Nihil - The Work Primordial Ooze - Parasitic Intoxicant Backxwash - I Lie Here Buried With My Rings And My Dresses Victory Over The Sun - Nowherer Body Void - Bury Me Beneath This Rotting Earth Violet Cold - Empire of Love Pupil Slicer - Mirrors Sleep Token - This Place Will Become Your Tomb Worm - Foreverglade
For me: Tribulation - Where Gloom Becomes Sound Whitechapel - Kin Deafheaven - Infinite Granite Gojira - Fortitude Archpire - Bleed The Future Cynic - Ascension Codes Hell of a year for metal 🔥
@@joeyuzwa891 I know that bro. but there are black metal vibes in there specially in the last tracks of the album like Mombasa. their previous albums were totally black metal and post metal. so it fits in my list.
I'm surprised there isn't more love for Kin. I historically haven't been much of a Whitechapel fan, but Kin is phenomenal! I think I've listened to it more than Torn Arteries
@@dustinhurt4274 You know, some albums are so particularly good that only time would show their true value. there aren't many like Whitechapel out there to release such risky and ambitious album like kin.

To me Vildhjarta had the best album of the past 5 years. I can't stress this enough. Nothing I've listened to in years matches up to it. All the other metal feels boring right now
I'm late to the party but here's my picks for 2021. Parentheses is my favorite song off the album. 1. Archspire - Bleed the Future (Acrid Cannon) 2. Gojira - Fortitude (Amazonia) 3.

To add to the diversity, I'm going to be that guy who picks all tech death albums for album of the year, of which mine are: Archspire - Bleed The Future Ophidian I - Desolate Rivers of Nihil - The Work First Fragment - Gloire Éternelle
My picks for 2021: 1) Carcass - Torn Arteries 2) Unto Others - Strength 3) Khemmis - Deceiver 4) Mastodon - Hushed and grim 5) Gojira - Fortitude 6) Bewitcher - Cursed by thy Kingdom 7) Hooded Menace - The tritonus Bell 8) Inhuman Condition - Rat°God 9) Duel - In Carne Persona 10) Green Lung - Black Harvest 11) Black Label Society - Doom Crew Inc.
My favorite albums 2021 5 Khemmis- Deceiver 4 Exodus - Persona non grata 3 Cradle of Filth - existence is futile 2. Cannibal Corpse - Violence unimagined 1. Helloween - Helloween
Seeing Blayne and Sam try to react to and understand Scarlxrd is one of the funniest things Banger has every filmed. Hats off to Sam Astoroth for that massive curveball.
I'd have to say Iotunn's Access All Worlds is #1 for me. I've listened to it so many times this year. Other standouts: Yoth Iria - As the Flame Withers Archspire - Bleed the Future Unto Others - Strength Helloween - Helloween
What a year! Here are some of my highlights: 1914 - Where Fear and Weapons Meet Archspire - Bleed the Future Between the Buried and Me - Colors II Converge & Chelsea Wolfe - Bloodmoon: I Deafheaven - Infinite Granite Gojira - Fortitude Mastodon - Hushed and Grim Obscura - A Valediction Rivers of Nihil - The Work The Ruins of Beverast - The Thule Grimoires Swallow the Sun - Moonflowers
Guess my top 5 in no particular order would be something along the lines of: Panopticon - ...and Again Into the Light, Converge & Chelsea Wolfe - Blood Moon Vol. 1, Every Time I Die - Radical, mol - Diorama & Wolves in the Throne Room - Primordial Arcana
@@NbleSavage tbh, first album for me. for some reason all these "sentence as a name"-bands all blended into some idea of generic melodic metalcore to me. Everytime I Die proved me wrong. It's just a legitimately fun and consistent record.
My top 5 (yes, I am a prog metal/tech death person): 1. Etemen Ænka- Dvne 2. Gloire Éternelle- First Fragment 3. Access all Worlds- IOTUNN 4.Colors II- BTBAM 5. Bleed the Future- Archspire
Great picks Blayne and Sarah. Its been a great year indeed, some of my picks would be: - Der weg einer freiheit - Noktvrn - Lvcifyre - The broken seal - Unto Others - Strength - Spectral Wound - A diabolic thirst - Grave Miasma - Abyss of Wrathful deities - Stormkeep - Tales of Othertime - Aborted - Maniacult - Craven Idols - Forged Tongues - Tardigrada - Von bruch bis zu freiheit - Suffering Hour - The cyclic reckoning - Night Crowned - Hädanfärd - Sielunvihollinen - Teloituskäsky - Worm - Foreverglade - Tribulation - where the gloom becomes sound - Hooded Menace - The tritounus bell - Fyrnask - VII: Kenoma - Altarage - Succumb - Exodus - Persona non grata
My list: Ad Nauseam- Imperative Imperceptible Impulse Worm- Foreverglade Demiser- Through the Gate Eternal Suffering Hour- The Cyclic Reckoning Spectral Wound- A Diabolic Thirst
I haven't heard the Demiser album, but the other 4 are all tops and definitely amongst my favourite of the year. Ad Nauseum and Worm in particular has been on constant rotation while I work, but all 4 are fantastic. I will check out Demiser.
my favorites of the year: Helloween - Helloween Fortress - Don`t spare the wicked Warrior Path - The Mad King Enforced - Kill Grind Unleashed - So sign of life Knife - Knife Space Chaser - Give us life Obscurity - Skogarmaors Iron Maiden - Senjutsu Bonded - Into blackness The Crown - Royal Destroyer Exodus - Persona Non Grata
My top for 2021: 1. Enforced - Kill Grid 2. Mastodon - Hushed and Grim 3. ERRA - ERRA 4. Cannibal Corpse - Violence Unimagined 5. Gojira - Fortitude And definitely looking forward to early 2022 Fit for an Autopsy new album, which will be 2022 best album ;)
Stoked to hear shout-outs for Khemmis and Ominous. Both albums made my top ten. Latest Khemmis has so many layers to unravel and enjoy, and the latest Ominous took me back to the industrial days... really nostalgic and great.
These are all my favorites from this year: Silver Talon - Decedence & Decay Exodus - Persona Non Grata Vulture - Dealin' Death Haunt - Beautiful Distraction Crystal Viper - The Cult Blazon Stone - Damnation Toledo Steel - Heading For the Fire Eternity's End - Embers of War Carcass - Torn Arteries Warrior Path - The Mad King Emerald Rage - High King Ancient Empire - Priest of Stygia Flotsam and Jetsam - Blood in the Water Unto Others - Strength Kryptos - Force of Danger Hitten - Triumph and Tragedy Pounder - Breaking the World Demiser - Through the Gate Eternal Ironbound - The Lightbringer Knife - Knife Portrait - At One With None Split Heaven - Electric Spell Creatures - Creatures Evile - Hell Unleashed Enforced - Kill Grind Helloween - Helloween Cannibal Corpse - Violence Unimagined At The Gates - The Nightmare
Great list with many of my own favorites ... but where`s FORTRESS = ?? You should take a look (or better both ears) at their debut "Don`t spare the wicked" ... it`s one of my absolute top albums of the year!
my top 10: 1.Thy Catafalque | Vadak 2.Helloween | Helloween 3.Impure Wilhelmina | Antidote 4.Blazon Stone | Damnation 5.Monolord | Your Time To Shine 6.Amenra | De Doorn 7.Wolves In The Throne Room | Primordial Arcana 8.Yoth Iria | As The Flame Withers 9.Brainstorm | Wall Of Skulls 10.Der Weg Einer Freiheit | Noktvrn

Great video and lists. I love the diversity with each persons picks. With that said; I' am a little surprised that not a single mention was given to Cannibal Corpse, Rivers of Nihil, or Archspire. Keep banging, BangerTV. \M/
Unto Others was definitely a surprise for me, really cool sound. Beast in Black - Dark Connection and Baest - Necrosapiens are definitely my top two albums this year, plenty of good stuff this year like Criminal - Sacrificio or Archspire - Bleed the Future are also amazing albums.
Just clicked play. If THE CYCLIC RECKONING by Suffering Hour isn't on here, I'ma lose my shit. Also, can I just say Blayne is such a sweetie? Funniest dude on the whole channel.
I don’t always check in, but when I do I rarely walk away empty-handed. Thank you for the amazing content the channel consistently provides. I do however want to take a moment and thank you for turning me on to Hooded Menace. Holy fuck this band!!!! I cannot thank you enough. Holy shit. Just… shit!!! Soooooo good. Its a gift that just keeps on giving. So thanks and happy holidays!
Awesome picks from the crew. A mixture of expected and unexpected picks. I was visually excited when Riley mentioned Havukruunu as one of her favorites. It didn't make my list since its an EP but it's so good. It's my second favorite EP on my list of favorite EPs of the year.
at the gates - the nightmare of being carcass - torn arteries Crypta - Echoes Of The Soul nervosa - perpetual chaos deafheaven - infinite granite Swallow The Sun - Moonflowers Hypocrisy - Worship
Love the video and after watching this video there are a lot of records from 2021 for me to check out that I missed during the year. The great music just keeps on coming! Here are my top 10 of the year.... 1. Between the Buried and Me - Colors II 2. Rivers of Nihil - The Work 3. Iotunn - Access All Worlds 4. Son of Sam - And the Monsters Awoke… 5. Orden Ogan - Final Days 6. Hélios - Devenir Le Soleil 7. The Crown - Royal Destroyer 8. Frontierter - Oxidized 9. Yoth Iria - As the Flame Withers 10. Kanonenfieber - Menschenmühle
The pandemic has certainly given several musicians out there lots of time to work on new material. Can't complain! Really eases my nerves to see that at least music production didn't come to a halt, when it feels otherwise that the time has stopped. My personal favorite album is by a rather small, pretty unknown band called Soulglass. Their debut album Odeth, that came out this year is probably one of my all time favorites tbh. \m/
Great variety in this year's picks! Some of my favourites this year: Mastodon - Hushed and Grim Gojira - Fortitude Tribulation - Where The Gloom Becomes Sound Omnium Gatherum - Origin Rivers of Nihil - The Work Be'lakor - Coherence Green Lung - Black Harvest VOLA - Witness Soen - Imperial At the Gates - The Nightmare of Being Definitely going to give Unto Others a listen!
Coherence was awesome. I recommend checking out the album in continuum by destinity, some really good melodeath, that’s my #3 album of the year behind hushed and grim and coherence
Top album for me is Ward of Roses by The Silver. There was a lot of loss in our family this year and that album really resonated with me and had me coming back often
My top 10 (not in particular order) 1. Nekromantheon - Visions of Trismegistos 2. Herzel - Le dernier rempart 3. Portrait - At One with None 4. Darkthrone - Eternal Hails 5. Helloween - Helloween 6. Morgul Blade - Fell Sorcery Abounds 7. Iron Maiden - Senjutsu 8. Sarke - Allsighr 9. The Night Eternal - Moonlit Cross 10. Stormkeep - Tales of Othertime
The love for Hooded Menace and Unto Others is well received, instant picks for me. Other favourites: Dream Unending - Tide Turns Eternal (Blayne, get on this) Lamp of Murmuur - Submission and Slavery Këht Aräkh - Pale Swordsman (the trendy Bandcamp pick) Mystras - Empires Vanquished and Dismantled 1914 - Where Fear and Weapons Meet
This was a great video, lots of diversity! I'll give my Top 10, since I have a few uncommon picks: 1. Humanity's Last Breath - Välde 2. Vildhjarta - Måsstaden Under Vatten (This one might move, I can't tell if I really love it this much, or if I'm just mindblown still) 3. Trivium - In The Court of the Dragon 4. Lingua Ignota - Sinner Get Ready 5. Emma Ruth Rundle - Engine of Hell 6. Whitechapel - Kin 7. Cannibal Corpse - Violence Unimagined 8. Converge + Chelsea Wolfe - Bloodmoon: I 9. Archspire - Bleed The Future 10. Swallow The Sun - Moonflowers Shoutouts to: Worm (This album is so close to the 10), Spiritbox, Slaughter to Prevail, Portal, Full of Hell, Ad Nauseam, Obscura, Creeping Death (An EP, but it's longer than Full of Hell's album, lmao), Night Crowned, Gojira, Jinjer, Mental Cruelty, Osiah, Distant, Cognitive, Alustrium, Alluvial, Fractal Universe, Carcass, At The Gates, Rivers of Nihil, Brand of Sacrifice, Pyrexia, Carcosa, Ice Nine Kills, Epica, Aborted, Vulvodynia, Helllight, ERRA, Born of Osiris, Inferi, The Breathing Process, Signs of the Swarm, and Worm Shepherd, as well as whatever I'm sure I'm forgetting!
Adding more to this list: Funeral, Spectral Wound, Cerebral Rot, Mortiferum, and Skepticism. Witch Vomit's EP was a banger, but the vox were really buried, it kinda took away it for me, cause they sounded great when you could hear them.
@@MassHysteriaHD in terms of sheer creativity, I would completely agree. However, it is A LOT of album to digest. I wouldn't have it any other way, though.
Absence Of Life - Instinct Of Self Destruction Taiga - Right To Remember Borgne - Temps Morts Sadness - ______ Sadness - April Rain Thy Catafalque - Vadak Nihilistium - Evocation Of The Reaper's Bane Mare Cognitum - Solar Paroxysm Nervosa - Perpetual Chaos Anti - Anti An Autumn For Crippled Children - As the Morning Dawns We Close Our Eyes just to name some of my favorite albums this year
2021 was definitely a highlight year! My top three was: 1. Burn Down Eden - s/t 2. 1914 - Where Fear and Weapons Meet 3. Vektor - Transmissions of Chaos All total bangers...check ´em out!
Let us know what you think of our picks and most importantly shoutout your favorite albums in the comments.
they were good
Sam's Pick surprised me. Thought for sure he would have gone with Senjutsu.
But Foritude fuckn rocks as well.
Check out Drowsy Waves - Deflecting Mirror if you're looking for atmospheric alternative ;)
@@anthonymarano7829 Yes, how and why Senjutsu was ignored ?
@@venkateshg3171 I really don't know!? That album is a Master work!
It's so nice to see father and son hanging out talking about their favorite albums of the year!
Hahahahaga
@@swampcrypt I think it was a joke. They look very similar.
@@swampcrypt either that, or they're the same person before and after no-nut November.

1. Worm - Foreverglade
2. Archspire - Bleed The Future
3. Alluvial - Sarcoma
4. Stormkeep - Tales Of Othertime
5. Suffering Hour - The Cyclic Reckoning
I really liked the Blayne and Sam reactions to everyone’s picks. Great stuff!
I enjoyed it so much! I would love for it to become its own thing.
Especially to Sam's...00...wtf lol
That was a great addition!
When he's(Sam Dunn) the boss he's gotta be more open minded. It's fucking metal after all. If you can't open the brain and shovel all the metal shit in, wtf are you doing?? And Brad's being a douchebag. Seriously closed minded throughtout the entire thing. It's fine when he admits certain types aren't his thing but the visceral "WTF?!" shit? Nah...
Can we all just agree that no other genre of music does album art better than metal?
I agree with Sam that this was the year of death metal. My faves from this year, in no order, are:
Carcass - Torn Arteries
Rivers of Nihil - The Work
Abraded - Abraded
200 Stab Wounds - Slave to the Scapel
Cannibal Corpse - Violence Unimagined
Archspire - Bleed the Future
Cynic - Ascension Codes

Seeing Blayne and Sam try to react to and understand Scarlxrd is one of the funniest things Banger has every filmed. Hats off to Sam Astoroth for that massive curveball.
28:46 Laughed my ass off
Almost as good as Blayne talking about Spiritbox
Haha i am glad you found that enjoyable! I knew it would be an oddball pick 😅🤘🏽
@@SolarAdrift that was hilarious too 🤣 i love Spiritbox 🤘🏽
@@SolarAdrift When did they talk about spiritbox?
I'd have to say Iotunn's Access All Worlds is #1 for me. I've listened to it so many times this year. Other standouts:
Yoth Iria - As the Flame Withers

Swallow the Sun - Moonflowers
I love the old lock horns videos. I learned so much about styles of metal, bands, and great albums from those. Hope to see more in 2022!!!
Guess my top 5 in no particular order would be something along the lines of:
Panopticon - ...and Again Into the Light, Converge & Chelsea Wolfe - Blood Moon Vol. 1, Every Time I Die - Radical, mol - Diorama & Wolves in the Throne Room - Primordial Arcana
That Panopticon is great. Drags you through all the feels and ultimately leaves you elated.
Can't believe its taken this long to see ETID on here. Good on ye.
@@NbleSavage tbh, first album for me. for some reason all these "sentence as a name"-bands all blended into some idea of generic melodic metalcore to me. Everytime I Die proved me wrong. It's just a legitimately fun and consistent record.
For me:
1 Gloire Éternelle - First Fragment
2 A Velediction - Obscura
3 Bleed the Future - Archspire
Great year for tech death!
At least someone.

The lack of Vile Genesis in the majority of these comments is criminal! My top 2 aoty are the same as yours, reversed.
@@AlternateFropile I know right! I've been playing both albums nonstop since they released.
Riley knows what's up. That Fluisteraars record is fucking immaculate. Havukruunu never disappoints either.
This fuckin episode is absolutely the best part of xmas for me every year- pls never stop making this episode...
I missed a lot of stuff this year; I have to thank you for this video.
Will check Unto Others, my picks:
- Exodus Persona Non Grata
- Gojira - Fortitude
- Carcass - Torn Arteries
- BTBAM - Colors II
- Flotsam and Jetsam - Blood in the water
I need to also check Asphyx and Archapire… and Lucifer’s Fall… they were not in my radar
Highly recommend you check out Rivers of Nihil "The Work" if you liked BTBAM. Another complex album with a lot different styles.
Great video and lists. I love the diversity with each persons picks. With that said; I' am a little surprised that not a single mention was given to Cannibal Corpse, Rivers of Nihil, or Archspire. Keep banging, BangerTV. \M/
My Picks:
- Uada: Djinn
- Vreid: Wild North West
- Oracle: Perseverance
- Cradle of filth: Existence is futile
- Unto others: Strength
Uada was last year.
The Body & Big Brave collaboration on Thrill Jockey was my favourite 'metal' album of the year. Shout outs to Cynic and Emptiness, too.
Tower are criminally overlooked.
Gojira and Stormkeep had banging records this year, great year overall for Metal... My personal honorable mention is Foxor, great metal from Canada
same but include trivium and bfmv
Unto Others was definitely a surprise for me, really cool sound. Beast in Black - Dark Connection and Baest - Necrosapiens are definitely my top two albums this year, plenty of good stuff this year like Criminal - Sacrificio or Archspire - Bleed the Future are also amazing albums.
Icelandic Brennivin on that bar - much respect from Iceland!
My top 5:
Kal El-Dark Majesty
King Woman-Celestial Blues
Dvne-Etemen Aenka
Asphyx-Necroceros
Iron Maiden-Senjutsu
That Kal-el is amazing! It would be top 3 for me this year but the Green Lung album is so fucking tasty.
@@mikeb4858 Yea, Green Lung, Bongzilla; lots of great stoner/doom stuff this year!
Just clicked play. If THE CYCLIC RECKONING by Suffering Hour isn't on here, I'ma lose my shit.
Also, can I just say Blayne is such a sweetie? Funniest dude on the whole channel.
Hell yeah, that album is on my top 10. Some insane guitar work on those songs.
Always a great moment. Thanks everyone.
Endseeker - Mount Carcass
Inferi - Vile Genesis
Carcass - Torn Arteries
Stortregn - Impermanence
For me it has to be Carcass - Torn Arteries. Kicks all the ass! I hope they re-stock the white longsleeve shirt!!! \m/
I don’t always check in, but when I do I rarely walk away empty-handed. Thank you for the amazing content the channel consistently provides. I do however want to take a moment and thank you for turning me on to Hooded Menace. Holy fuck this band!!!! I cannot thank you enough. Holy shit. Just… shit!!! Soooooo good. Its a gift that just keeps on giving. So thanks and happy holidays!
Cant pick one but top 3 are 1914 - Where Fear and Weapons Meet, Unto Others - Strength and Swallow the Sun - Moonflowers
Awesome picks from the crew. A mixture of expected and unexpected picks. I was visually excited when Riley mentioned Havukruunu as one of her favorites. It didn't make my list since its an EP but it's so good. It's my second favorite EP on my list of favorite EPs of the year.
Wow Riley! Fluisteraars, neat. Picking Dutch black metal legends earns you a gold pentagram in my book any day.
at the gates - the nightmare of being
carcass - torn arteries
Crypta - Echoes Of The Soul
nervosa - perpetual chaos
deafheaven - infinite granite
Swallow The Sun - Moonflowers
Hypocrisy - Worship

Great job everyone and it's nice to see Sam's hands haven't stop moving since his last video.
Haha never stops moving 🤣 🤘🏽
The pandemic has certainly given several musicians out there lots of time to work on new material. Can't complain! Really eases my nerves to see that at least music production didn't come to a halt, when it feels otherwise that the time has stopped. My personal favorite album is by a rather small, pretty unknown band called Soulglass. Their debut album Odeth, that came out this year is probably one of my all time favorites tbh. \m/
Great variety in this year's picks! Some of my favourites this year:
Mastodon - Hushed and Grim
Gojira - Fortitude
Tribulation - Where The Gloom Becomes Sound
Omnium Gatherum - Origin
Rivers of Nihil - The Work
Be'lakor - Coherence
Green Lung - Black Harvest
VOLA - Witness
Soen - Imperial
At the Gates - The Nightmare of Being
Definitely going to give Unto Others a listen!
Coherence was awesome. I recommend checking out the album in continuum by destinity, some really good melodeath, that’s my #3 album of the year behind hushed and grim and coherence
@@puppetmaster8551 Nice, I'll check it out. Thanks!

Lamp of Murmuur - Submission and Slavery
Këht Aräkh - Pale Swordsman (the trendy Bandcamp pick)

Shoutouts to: Worm (This album is so close to the 10), Spiritbox, Slaughter to Prevail, Portal, Full of Hell, Ad Nauseam, Obscura, Creeping Death (An EP, but it's longer than Full of Hell's album, lmao), Night Crowned, Gojira, Jinjer, Mental Cruelty, Osiah, Distant, Cognitive, Alustrium, Alluvial, Fractal Universe, Carcass, At The Gates, Rivers of Nihil, Brand of Sacrifice, Pyrexia, Carcosa, Ice Nine Kills, Epica, Aborted, Vulvodynia, Helllight, ERRA, Born of Osiris, Inferi, The Breathing Process, Signs of the Swarm, and Worm Shepherd, as well as whatever I'm sure I'm forgetting!
Adding more to this list: Funeral, Spectral Wound, Cerebral Rot, Mortiferum, and Skepticism. Witch Vomit's EP was a banger, but the vox were really buried, it kinda took away it for me, cause they sounded great when you could hear them.
Masstaden under vatten is untouched by any of these other bands right now!
