From the top of my head I would choose: Amorphis - „Tales from the thousand lakes“ Darkthrone - „Ravishing grimness“ Lake of tears - „Headstones“ Beth Hart - „My California“ Jethro Tull - „Roots to branches“ King Crimson - „In wake of Poseidon“ Frank Sinatra - „Cycles“ Tom Waits - „The heart of saturday night“ Tiamat - „A deeper kind of slumber“ Pink Floyd - „The division bell“ As always it’s pretty hard to choose only 10 albums, but life is tough sometimes 😉 Enjoy the rest of the weekend
"Scenes", from Marty Friedman. A beautiful selection of atmospheric soundscapes that is essential listening for starlit nightfall and incoming Winter. No Megadeth here, this is a wonderful instrumental album that depicts snowlaced mountaintops, exotic landscapes and scenes outta the movies in your mind. Nocturnal feelings all round. From opener 'Tibet''s swooshing and whisping chimes leading into "Angel"s melodic beauty, or 'Valley of Etrernity's soaring soloing from clouds above, its a wonderful album that, is actually my personal favourite thing Marty ever did. And yes indeed, that includes his work on Rust In Peace.
80s pop is something truly special. So many great songs/albums from back then. I have never heard Woods of Ypres but I love Doom metal so I will definitely check them out
Finnish metal bands and winter have always gone hand in hand. My favorite winter albums: Wintersun - Wintersun Basically all the Amorphis and Imsomnium albums Children of Bodom - Hatebreeder and Follow the Reaper
Hi...hot sun for october here in France too...I had the same reaction with almost the same words a few days ago !!!...hey...to me you speak with your heart,this is why I follow you since your 1st channel...I'm always curious about the scope of your music tastes...for me too Nick Cave is an autumn... winter artist...the Cure too...guess their next album is on your radar 1st november...it's gonna be a hell of a dark monolith...Robert has something profond to say ...and there's already 5 stars reviews ...
My Dying Bride's Turn Loose the Swans is very wintry wilderness in its atmosphere. I love it on a dark night. I'm going to take it off rotation so I feel the benefit when it gets cold 😉
Type O Negative: World coming down Blind Guardian: Imaginations from the other side Darkthrone: A Blaze in the Northern Sky Enslaved: Below the lights Voivod: Roarrrrrrrrrrr
Great list mate. I don't have top 10 ones but probably the two albums that have that winter feel are Neurosis's "The Eye of Every Storm" and Panopticon's "The Rime of Memory". Gonna go and listen to some Bloody Kisses, didn't hear any type o in a long time, thanks for reminding me of it.
In the woods- Cease the day Der weg einer freiheit- Finisterre Fit for an autopsy- Absolute hope absolute hell Evadne- The pale light of the fireflies Enterprise earth- Luciferous Metallica- Ride the lightning Immortal- Sons of northern darkness These are my picks for the winter. I like your list, there are artists I should check out. I also love Depeche Mode, it was surprising to see that pick.
It was a toss-up between Sons of Northern Darkness and In the Nightside Eclipse and Emperor is what I was jamming over those past few weeks so it got in. Love Immortal as well though 🤘
Couldn't break mine down in to a top 10 - might just be able to do a top 10 of what I have listened to in the last week! Love anything by Cheslea Wolfe and Depeche Mode, though and anything by Ihsahn Emperor is always a must (looking forward to them at Bloodstock). Surprised you didn't have the greatest doom album of all time - Watching from a Distance by Warning - in your list. It is such a great album and encompasses the bleakness of winter on a frozen, cold and misty morning so well. I'd also say Weather Systems by Anathema feels like an album that embodies winter and Opus Eponymous by Ghost for the spookiness.
Glad you agreed with my choices for Chelsea Wolfe, Depeche Mode and Emperor. I nearly went with Ihsahn's Arktis but settled on Emperor instead. The other albums you mentioned are all fantastic but I decided on 10 and the other albums I listed were just what resonated with me at the time
Nice! For me, Winter albums is a no brainer - early 90s black metal! The "coldest" sounding ones: Filosofem (Burzum), Those of the Unlight (Marduk), Stormblast (Dimmu Birgir), From the Pagan Vastlands (early Behemoth), Bergtatt (Ulver).
Hushed n Grimm by Mastodon Blackwater park by Opeth The Mantle by Agaloch Train of Thought by Dream Theater Absolute Everywhere by Blood Incantation Grace By Jeff Buckley Great to hear your dulcet Bristolian but very dry witted tones again mate, keep up the excellent work
Guys I recommend '100th Window' by Massive attack, that is my go to winter album, definitely nowhere near as popular as Mezzanine, but it does it for me.
For me, I can't listen to Type O Negative's "Bloody Kisses" album without following up with "October Rust" right after....They seem to be a Volume I & Volume II journey....kinda like watching the Godfather Part I and Part II....those two albums are THAT wonderful, but that's just me.
Absolutely no link to winter or colder weather at all as per content, but... Cowboys from Hell will forever be my winter album. I was 14/15 and just discovering metal and, although I wanted Vulgar Display... I couldn't afford the CD so decided to splurge on the cheaper tape version of CFH. Just thinking about it takes me back to trudging up the hill in the cold at 1am after pot-washing in a local pub on New Years Eve. Back when the world was simpler and you couldn't carry tapes around with you so an album would stay in your Walkman for days and you knew it inside out...
for me ..., Pink Floyd Animals , Neil Young Unplugged , Black Sabbath debut , NIN Downward Spiral , Portishead Dummy , Judas Priest Stained Class , Nick Drake Pink Moon , Spirit Adrift Ghost At The Gallows , Simon and Garfunkel Bridge Over Troubled Water , and .., Soundtrack From Twin Peaks ...,
Post-rock is my go-to winter genre for sulking and depression 😂 Although I have listened to too much post-rock over the years, one band comes to my mind every time - April Rain. Their song - One is Glad to Be of Service - is a great track to cry to. It is dedicated to Robin Williams.
Agalloch And summoning never get played in nice weather . They are out now ..( also raison detre to really cheer me up .).. . Probably till April in sunny Yorkshire 😂 great video
@@ThatMetalBloke they just invoke winter somehow ... I was thinking of paysage d hiver too .. our British seasons are kind of merging into one these days though aren't they. Odd cold day . Odd heatwave. Like your winter video lol
@@ThatMetalBloke they where the band that got me into more extreme metal been a fan since I was 17 so for me it's one of those bands I could never hate on.
Good for you lol F the elitist 😁 If there was a go to winter album for me I would say Pallbearer’s Sorrow and Extinction Got deep into that record about 7 years back during winter, in of a cold dark place in life and that record was like a crackling warm fire in my bones, in my soul
I probably would. I'd like to do a series of essay type videos. He would be an interesting one as he has had such an influence on so many artists in heavy music
@@ThatMetalBloke hell yeah man Glenn is awesome and so Are you man I dig what you do I know it's kinda late but are you also gonna do a vid on 72 seasons?,
Thanks very much. Glad you're digging the channel. I doubt I will do a video on 72 Seasons as that shop has passed. I may find a place to talk about it at some point though. As you've asked though, I was a little underwhelmed with a lot of it but there were some great tracks. Hetfield sounded amazing though both vocally and on guitar. Robert was also great but Kirks solos were very underwhelming and Lars just doesn't seem to test himself at all. I still love the band though
Nuerosis are an amazing band one of my favorite bands and Scott Kellys work with Mastodon is also amazing shame he turned out to be a dirt bag. I have never listened to Chelsea Wolfe Nick Cave or Shrine Builder ill definitely check out these albums cheers. Also never trust anyone who doesnt love a bit of 80s pop music fuck em 😅
A real shame about Scott Kelly. Inexcusable behaviour. Let me know how you get on with Wolfe, Cave and Shrinebuilder. NEVER trust anyone who doesn't like 80s pop 🤣
Great idea for a video man. You’ve sold me on Asphyx and Chelsea Wolfe - hadn’t checked these out before. One cold, wintery-sounding band I love is the dark wave outfit Lycia (who ironically hail from Arizona, one of the hottest places on Earth). I heard Peter Steele mention them a bunch as a big inspiration on Type O’s lush yet gloomy October Rust, and they blew me away. Utterly devastating, yet beautiful sounds. I can only really listen to them in the winter. The Burning Circle and then Dust is probably my fav album from them.
I never understood the elitest rubbish. Is Damageplan more metal than Nick Cave? Sure but I know which artist I'd rather listen to. Some great picks in there Ben. Some of my choices: Agnes Obel - Aventine Portishead - Portishead Paradise Lost - Host Tom Waits - Blood Money Scott Walker - Tilt
Exactly mean. Just more stupid rules from people who claim to be free thinkers. Portishead and Tom Waits are two artists I should have thought of. Great albums for this time of the year.
Is your channel quite new? I recall you saying it was fine to contradict or oppose what you say, but be creative. So I did and I thought I was quite funny at slagging off Tool for residing up their own arses and Between The Buried And Me for being Vanscore, under a different video. I know you weren't talking about me, as the timeline would make that impossible but I just hope it is genuine 'élitist wankers' that you're referring to as the 'élitist wankers' and not people that you invited to disagree with you, creatively, who are now 'élitist wankers' in your eye.
![Noob To Max With DRAGON REWORK In Blox Fruits [FULL MOVIE]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/LnBMOinoOvA/mqdefault.jpg)
Anything by Albert Collins gets me thru these cold days!
Living in Siberia, I used to blast Dissection - Somberlain during our usual -30°C in December
Fantastic choice 🤘
From the top of my head I would choose:
Amorphis - „Tales from the thousand lakes“
Darkthrone - „Ravishing grimness“
Lake of tears - „Headstones“
Beth Hart - „My California“
Jethro Tull - „Roots to branches“
King Crimson - „In wake of Poseidon“
Frank Sinatra - „Cycles“
Tom Waits - „The heart of saturday night“
Tiamat - „A deeper kind of slumber“
Pink Floyd - „The division bell“
As always it’s pretty hard to choose only 10 albums, but life is tough sometimes 😉
Enjoy the rest of the weekend
Some great picks there mate. I didn't even consider Tom Waits. Love a lot of his albums
@@Rykktheiron tull would be stormwatch for me in winter

Darkthrone's "A Blaze in the Northern Sky" will make you cold even on the hottest summer day.
Neurosis + Through Silver... is on Spotify now
I walked home from a friend's in a blizzard listening to Storm of the lights bane by Dissection. I must say it was The perfect accompliment .
I just noticed your video got a climate change tag on it automated by RUclips… Looking forward to it, mate! Hopefully Agalloch is on it.
@@wheelsofmercury Cheers mate. Hope you enjoy it 🤘
80s pop, me too ❤ that was my foundation!
Winter for me is Woods of Ypres, especially Woods III.
80s pop is something truly special. So many great songs/albums from back then.
I have never heard Woods of Ypres but I love Doom metal so I will definitely check them out
Look forward to the type o rankings!
Me too. I love that band
Finnish metal bands and winter have always gone hand in hand. My favorite winter albums:
Wintersun - Wintersun
Basically all the Amorphis and Imsomnium albums
Children of Bodom - Hatebreeder and Follow the Reaper
Some great bands you listed there 🤘
Violator is a perfect album. Love their SOFAD era too
Same. There are a lot of their earlier tunes I like as well. Much more poppy but still enjoyable. Reminds me of my youth I guess
@@ThatMetalBloke I'm a big fan of their work from Black Celebration to Ultra
Hi...hot sun for october here in France too...I had the same reaction with almost the same words a few days ago !!!...hey...to me you speak with your heart,this is why I follow you since your 1st channel...I'm always curious about the scope of your music tastes...for me too Nick Cave is an autumn... winter artist...the Cure too...guess their next album is on your radar 1st november...it's gonna be a hell of a dark monolith...Robert has something profond to say ...and there's already 5 stars reviews ...
I will be checking out the new Cure album for sure. Love that band
My Dying Bride's Turn Loose the Swans is very wintry wilderness in its atmosphere. I love it on a dark night.

My Dying Bride are incredible. Great choice
Type O Negative: World coming down
Blind Guardian: Imaginations from the other side
Darkthrone: A Blaze in the Northern Sky
Enslaved: Below the lights
Voivod: Roarrrrrrrrrrr
Great albums every single one of them. Especially for this time of the year
Great list mate. I don't have top 10 ones but probably the two albums that have that winter feel are Neurosis's "The Eye of Every Storm" and Panopticon's "The Rime of Memory". Gonna go and listen to some Bloody Kisses, didn't hear any type o in a long time, thanks for reminding me of it.
Neurosis is perfect for this time of year. Incredible band
My Arms Your Hearse and Blackwater Park from Opeth, and The Mantle and Marrow of the Spirit from Agalloch.
Opeth are a great choice. I'll be doing a full album ranking for them when their new album comes out
In the woods- Cease the day
Der weg einer freiheit- Finisterre
Fit for an autopsy- Absolute hope absolute hell
Evadne- The pale light of the fireflies
Enterprise earth- Luciferous
Metallica- Ride the lightning
Immortal- Sons of northern darkness
These are my picks for the winter.
I like your list, there are artists I should check out.
I also love Depeche Mode, it was surprising to see that pick.
Great list of albums you mention there. Glad to hear you were surprised at my inclusion of Depeche Mode. I don't like to be predictable
@@ThatMetalBloke Is it just me or Everything counts sounds like a Christmas song?
You can't have a collection of winter albums without Immortal. Damned in Black or Sons of Northern Darkness. ❄️
It was a toss-up between Sons of Northern Darkness and In the Nightside Eclipse and Emperor is what I was jamming over those past few weeks so it got in. Love Immortal as well though 🤘
War against all?
Couldn't break mine down in to a top 10 - might just be able to do a top 10 of what I have listened to in the last week! Love anything by Cheslea Wolfe and Depeche Mode, though and anything by Ihsahn Emperor is always a must (looking forward to them at Bloodstock).

Yes my dude!!
i haven’t heard a fair chunk of these albums. I do love Violator though. I would consider Darkthrones Arctic Thunder as a winter album.
Yean mad, Depeche Mode have some great albums. Agree with you on Artic Thunder as well. Any Black metal is great for this time of year
Not music related but I always get in the mood for Game of Thrones when the winter is around the corner, I loved that series
I love Game of Thrones as well. I hated the ending though
@@ThatMetalBloke yeah I didn't like Season 8, but especially the ending. The early seasons were incredible
@@jackbrown4697 Agreed. Great show up until that point
Nice! For me, Winter albums is a no brainer - early 90s black metal! The "coldest" sounding ones: Filosofem (Burzum), Those of the Unlight (Marduk), Stormblast (Dimmu Birgir), From the Pagan Vastlands (early Behemoth), Bergtatt (Ulver).
Great picks. I nearly included Burzum. I always thought his Belus album is very underrated
Hushed n Grimm by Mastodon
Blackwater park by Opeth
The Mantle by Agaloch
Train of Thought by Dream Theater
Absolute Everywhere by Blood Incantation
Grace By Jeff Buckley
Great to hear your dulcet Bristolian but very dry witted tones again mate, keep up the excellent work
A lot of great albums in your list 🤘
I'd totally forgotten about massive attack, I'm definitely going to be listening to that tomorrow morning.
Yeah man. I always return to that album this time of year. Such a great album.
Guys I recommend '100th Window' by Massive attack, that is my go to winter album, definitely nowhere near as popular as Mezzanine, but it does it for me.

Back when the world was simpler and you couldn't carry tapes around with you so an album would stay in your Walkman for days and you knew it inside out...
I remember those days well. The amount of mix tapes I made up and listened to for weeks at a time while out walking was insane
Zakk Wylde - Book Of Shadows II
Bruce Springsteen - Nebraska
Pink Floyd - Animals
Opeth - Watershed
Toto - Kingdom Of Desire
UFO - Walk On Water
Great choices also
for me ..., Pink Floyd Animals , Neil Young Unplugged , Black Sabbath debut , NIN Downward Spiral , Portishead Dummy , Judas Priest Stained Class , Nick Drake Pink Moon , Spirit Adrift Ghost At The Gallows , Simon and Garfunkel Bridge Over Troubled Water , and .., Soundtrack From Twin Peaks ...,
Those are all great albums. Nick Drake and Portishead were both close contenders for my list
@@ThatMetalBloke , nice :)
This years Pallbearer - Mind Burns Alive is quite autumnal.
Stay frosty.
Sounds good to me 🤘
Frost from Enslaved. The song Svarte Vidder in particular. It's like walking outside in a snowstorm.
I very nearly included that album actually. Great band 🤘
The first thing that came to my mind was any album from Wintersun 😂
Post-rock is my go-to winter genre for sulking and depression 😂 Although I have listened to too much post-rock over the years, one band comes to my mind every time - April Rain. Their song - One is Glad to Be of Service - is a great track to cry to. It is dedicated to Robin Williams.
I have never heard that band if I'm honest. I will have to check them out
Cant go wrong with some Agalloch
Very nearly made my list
Agalloch And summoning never get played in nice weather . They are out now ..( also raison detre to really cheer me up .).. . Probably till April in sunny Yorkshire 😂 great video
A lot of people have mentioned Agalloch and rightly so. Incredible band
@@ThatMetalBloke they just invoke winter somehow ... I was thinking of paysage d hiver too .. our British seasons are kind of merging into one these days though aren't they. Odd cold day . Odd heatwave. Like your winter video lol
Ain't that the truth mate. The season's used to be very distinct but not anymore
Chants from another Place by Jonathan Hulten is a great Fall album, also all things King Diamond / Mercyful Fate 🎃
Playlist is great btw, haven't listened to Last one on Earth in years, man this album crushes, a pure show of force
Yeah man. I absolutley love that album and have listened to it a ton over the past few weeks.
HELL YEAH I LOVE CHELSEA WOLFE TOO!
She is amazing
Immortal is all cold
Emperor is always a good choice for the winter 🤘🏻
Indeed they are 🤘
Dimmu Borgir is a good choice as well
Never got into them so much but they are definitely great for this time of year
I like the environment you're walking around! Is it in Northern England?
It's the midlands. The Cotswolds to be more specific
I see. I should go there sometime, looks lovely! I also love your relaxed approach to these videos dude, keep it up🤘😎
I go all Norwegian and shit. 🔥🤘🏻
Perfect for this time of year 🤘
Where are Rob Halford's Christmas albums?
Ive always found I love to listen to alot more cradle of filth in the winter months
Never got into them myself but they strike me as an excellent choice for this time of the year
