I still gotta check out the new EP, but I would be inclined to agree. I would listen to Tzompantli as well, if you haven't. 20 Buck Spin is nigh-unstoppable right now
Was shocked to see Dr. Acula actually put out a new album and was even more shocked by how good it actually is. A lot of grind and hardcore all over it. Still has their corny synth on it too from the old days. solid album
Hey bud, just wanted to thank you for mentioning Worm, somehow it managed to slip through the cracks, and man, would I be missing out if I didn't hear it.. Foreverglade was among top AOTY contenders for the last year, and this EP is no exception! Ok, time to check out some Abduction, that one sounds quite promising :)
For the June edition let me recommend Out in the Fields by Vendel. Traditional/power with a dark and epic tone, maybe not your go to genre, but I got a hunch you might enjoy it.
saw the abduction vinyl in my local hmv today will absolutely check it out and buy it on vinyl seeing despised icon in manchester at damnation festival this saturday worm amazing
Interesting choices. As always. But I’m baffled that there’s is no coverage about that new BRUTUS album. At least in my RUclips bubble. I think it belongs in lots of best of the year lists.
The last two tracks on that new Worm EP ("Shadowside Kingdom" and its preceding intro "Invoking The Dragonmoon"--awesome title🐉) are amazing tributes to early-to-mid-90's symphonic black metal, which makes sense because Worm began life as a black metal band. The rest of the EP is good, even if death-doom isn't really my jam most of the time.
I love Bluenothing, Worm RULES, got my special color copy coming in the mail. Here is a left-field October drop that I'd be interested to hear if you like: Phantasos - Last Shining Breath, its a lovely marriage of synthwave and black metal. Cosmic vibes.
Well, October was fun, so lets get into the albums and EPs i listened to 1. Rot Among Us - Acid Witch: It was fine, nothing special really, 3/5 2. As The Blood of God Bursts The Veins of Time (EP) - Liturgy: Again, it was just fine, nothing much else, 3/5 3. Illusions - Borealis: Damn this one is a really good album, 4/5 4. Omens - Lamb of God: BOOOOOOORING, 1/5 5. Digital Noise Alliance - Queensryche: It was okay, 3/5 6. Pawns & Kings - Alter Bridge: Pretty amazing if you ask me, also, the title for the album is lowkey funny considering there is a controversy going on in the Chess World where a high profile Chess player is accused of using Anal beads to cheat a match...don't know why im bringing it up but yeah, its a strong 6.9/5 7. Acoustic in Hell (EP) - Eleine: It was good, 3.5/5 8. Pain Remains - Lorna Shore: Ohh boy, this album, has grown on me (now take a shot for me saying that) is it AOTY material? yes it is, and a really strong one too, the Pain Remains Trilogy songs alone is worth your time and honestly speaking, those crazy vocals are genuinely haunting in a good way, Ramos is really doing the band a favor by sticking with them long term, and kickstarting Lorna Shore to a wider and much larger fame and audience 5/5 9. The Gang's all Here - Skid Row: You're not missing out for not bothering with this album, its a strong 1/5 10. Complete Collapse - Sleeping with Sirens: And now Sleeping with Sirens joins the artists who made a song about "Nice guys finish last" the first one being Will Smith, also the album blows, 0.5/5 11. Darkbloom - We Came As Romans: BLEH, Thats all i have to say, 1.5/5 And now the gigantic elephant in the room 12. The Classic Symptoms of a Broken Spirit - Architects: this is one of the worst albums i have ever heard in my entire life...im not exaggerating, this is straight up top 10 worst albums of 2022, not even the relatively "Fine" single A New Moral Low Ground could save this album, its just sad and pathetic, going back and listening to their older albums and this is like night and day, its depressing how far this band has fallen, also, GIVE US MORE SYLOSIS!!! 0/5 13. The Mourning (EP) - Black Veil Brides: this one im kind of disappointed with, im a BVB Fan and this just feels weak, especially when you learn the fact these songs are leftover materials from their previous album The Phantom Tomorrow, which was one of my favorite albums of 2021, but the kicker here is Andy saying in an interview that there is 6 to 8 songs left from the album, and there is only 4 of them on the EP, so...Where's the rest of the 4 Songs? why mention them if you aren't gonna release them in a full package? anyways, its a 2.5/5 14. Astral Fortress - Darkthrone: This is Definitely a Darkthrone album, 0.5/5 15. II - Dead Cross: is neat, 3.5/5 16. Déterré (EP) - Despised Icon: it was okay, 3/5 And thats pretty much it, also, Not sure if you answered it in the live stream but i kinda wanna ask, would you consider reviewing Depresszió's New Album "Vissza a Földre" coming out this friday? they are a Hungarian Metal band and i would be interested what you think about it personally, since im from the same country as them.
Yo ngl, Worm might be one of my favorite doom bands next to Bell Witch and Candlemass. Never been a huge fan of doom but damn, from what I've heard so far (not the full ep) from Bluenothing, I'm hooked. Coming from a metalcore fan as well, I'm coming close to liking doom metal in general
The new Parius album, The Signal Heard Throughout Space, is pretty amazing. It's reminiscent of some Devin Townsend material with sprinkles of BTBAM. Highly entertaining, catchy, and fun progressive metal.
I really enjoyed the new Goatwhore (Much like most of their Discog) Foreverglade is still one of the best albums released for last year. Arguably love it even more now. The New Worm EP is so good, I think these Death Doom fries are really fucking delicious and Slimy and I can’t wait for the big beefy nasty Burger of album(s) to come. Welp I love Sodom, they are one of my thrash favorites still. This is definitely a cool gateway for any fans new to Thrash or Sodom. Liturgy is not my thing at all and that’s fine if any of you all enjoyed it, that’s cool. Defleshed seems a little interesting. Sweden is one of the Kings of Death Metal. Daeva is pretty fucking sick from what I’ve heard. Stormruler is a very good epic album from what I’ve heard.
Definitely need to listen to the Worm and Liturgy EPs, I've been slacking a bit on new releases. My favorites of the month were Lorna Shore, Exhumed, and Daeva (weird mix, I know). Also, I can't recall if it came out in October or September, but Esoctrilihum, probably the hardest working project ever, released ANOTHER new album called Saopth's or something like that, and I'm both reminding myself and the comment section that it exists.
@@themetalmeltdownofficial yep, I was just as surprised as you. I was just browsing Metal Archives and I saw another album listed. Immediately, I was like "You gotta be shitting me?", but yeah, I think it's only on Bandcamp because of I, Voidhanger's contract, lmao. Azathul is working too hard for them to keep up
@@themetalmeltdownofficial it’s badass! Esoctrilihum is my favorite modern black metal band. They work so hard and release so many albums, and all of them are quality
Turnstile, Knocked Loose, The Armed, Counterparts all come to mind right away. My favourite hardcore record this year is probably Soul Glo's "Diaspora Problems".
Indeed don’t waste time with the new Skid Row record. I took your advice but unfortunately listened to the new Ugly Kid Joe and that wasn’t very good either.
Neither did I. I was only drawn to it because there was a comment on it saying it was going to have AC/DC influence which it did kinda on the first track. There was a cover of Lola by the Kinks in the middle of the album but the whole thing was very lame.
![Megan Thee Stallion - Bigger In Texas [Official Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/QxTkZTLWdo4/mqdefault.jpg)
I'm gonna say this: Worm might be arguably the best modern DeathDoom band out there
You might be right, they just keep getting better and better with every release.
I still gotta check out the new EP, but I would be inclined to agree. I would listen to Tzompantli as well, if you haven't. 20 Buck Spin is nigh-unstoppable right now
@@AgainstTheeWickedlyMusic That Tzompantli album really was fantastic.
@@themetalmeltdownofficial I've listened to it an obscene amount of times
@@themetalmeltdownofficial worm is awesome, but I honestly prefer Temple of Void and hooded menace if they count.
Was shocked to see Dr. Acula actually put out a new album and was even more shocked by how good it actually is. A lot of grind and hardcore all over it. Still has their corny synth on it too from the old days. solid album
Been a fan of them since they started and I was so excited for their new album. It did not disappoint at all! Such a good listen all the way through.
Yes masterful album... Bought it. No regrets
Thank fuck you reviewed WORM, blunothing really goes insanely hard...short but greatness is around the corner...huge hails.
It's so nice to wake up to a new Metal Meltdown video.
Also, Worm kicks ass!

You forgot about the new Avatarium,an epic slice of Doom Rock if I say so myself.
You get all my fucking love for even MENTIONING, DR.ACULA! like seriously, loved them back in their day and love em even more now!
For the June edition let me recommend Out in the Fields by Vendel. Traditional/power with a dark and epic tone, maybe not your go to genre, but I got a hunch you might enjoy it.
Ok now I am most definitely adding Psychonaut to my list
Spell is strangely catchy, i like that. Worm seems to be worth to dig it deeper.
some hidden gems in there...currently enjoying the Worm and Liturgy myself...
saw the abduction vinyl in my local hmv today will absolutely check it out and buy it on vinyl seeing despised icon in manchester at damnation festival this saturday worm amazing

It's a scandal that you don't have the Canadian Hardcore band Get the shot on your list. 😤
It is straight up hardcore gold 🥇
lmao I straight up didnt even know they had an album out
@@themetalmeltdownofficial haha heaviest and best hardcore album of 2022.
Absolute banger 🔥
I love Bluenothing, Worm RULES, got my special color copy coming in the mail. Here is a left-field October drop that I'd be interested to hear if you like: Phantasos - Last Shining Breath, its a lovely marriage of synthwave and black metal. Cosmic vibes.
I feel sad about your attitude towards the Skid Row record. It’s like a rebirth of the Sebastian Bach era, not kidding!

A goblin hidden amongst the comments >:)
Yes Worms Foreverglades was second on my 2021 metal list only to the Ad Nauseum record which may be my favorite album of the decade so far.
Yo ngl, Worm might be one of my favorite doom bands next to Bell Witch and Candlemass. Never been a huge fan of doom but damn, from what I've heard so far (not the full ep) from Bluenothing, I'm hooked. Coming from a metalcore fan as well, I'm coming close to liking doom metal in general
Doom Metal is always on the “edge” of me liking it, but it hasn’t gotten there for me yet. I’ll try these Worm dudes and see
🤔Welp liked Summerland so...I'll give this Spell album a shot!🤘🏻😎
great video robert
That Psychonaut album rocks IMO. I can hear thr baroness influence, but it also reminds me of Tool, Amenra, and Pink Floyd. Great stuff.
Here's a band I haven't seen people talk about, Antipope. They just released an album a few days ago, called Rex Mundi. Hope they get more attention.
The new Parius album, The Signal Heard Throughout Space, is pretty amazing. It's reminiscent of some Devin Townsend material with sprinkles of BTBAM. Highly entertaining, catchy, and fun progressive metal.

Well shit, I'll have to check that shit out then.
@@themetalmeltdownofficial it’s badass! Esoctrilihum is my favorite modern black metal band. They work so hard and release so many albums, and all of them are quality
I know it's metalcore but I thought the new Fit for a King album was amazing.
I listened to one song and was like 'yeah, this aint for me' lmao. Happy you dug it though.
Worm!
Worm is awesomeeee
Psychonaut is awesome, have you heard the other Belgian band Brutus ' unison life' which is even better 🤘
Yes, new Brutus was really good.
You should review every Gojira album. Just a random idea
A very good random idea
hey Rob, what're your favorite modern hardcore bands? ik you're into Cancer Bats and Comeback Kid (as you should) but anything else you're into?
Turnstile, Knocked Loose, The Armed, Counterparts all come to mind right away. My favourite hardcore record this year is probably Soul Glo's "Diaspora Problems".
check out the new Inclination record. it has Isaac from Knocked Loose and it's really really good
I often find appetizers to be better than main course. They didn't invent tapas for nothing! Also: now i wonder wheather Defleshed are vegan...🥦
Touche, I often prefer ordering appetizers and tapas and such to share with friends at a new restaurant.
W....where is firtan's "marter"
Wondering the same since the album cover is featured in the video’s thumbnail
You missed Parius
I expected Liturgy as in Dawn of Ash. My day is ruined now
Robert!!!!
matt!!!!
Indeed don’t waste time with the new Skid Row record. I took your advice but unfortunately listened to the new Ugly Kid Joe and that wasn’t very good either.
Lmao didnt even know they were still around
Neither did I. I was only drawn to it because there was a comment on it saying it was going to have AC/DC influence which it did kinda on the first track. There was a cover of Lola by the Kinks in the middle of the album but the whole thing was very lame.
