Best albums of 2024 … so far for me (top 3 per month: January Saxon, Project Arcadia, and most of all Robert Hart’s ‘Circus Life’! February Stryker, and with distance to all others Rifforia. Blackberry Smoke for me isn’t really part of the genre, so see them separate, but excellent. March Judas Priest, Firewind, Rage. April Accept, Kickin Valentina, King Zebra. May Sheela, Knights of the Realm, Riot V. June Dezperadoz, Red Voodoo, New Horizon.
Flood (Gary Lenaire from the late, great Tourniquet), and Freedom Call have the greatest albums thus far. One of the new songs from Extol, “Labyrinth of Ill” is quite elite.
Surprisingly I've only bought 5 2024 albums so far. Myrath - Karma (best band out of Tunisia) Sunburst - Manifesto (singer sounds like Roy Khan) Thornbridge - Daydream Illusion (very Orden Ogan-sounding) Unleash The Archers - Phantoma Vanden Plas - The Empyrean Equation Of The Long Lost Things
Hi mate cracking list as always. I've got another couple I really want to listen to to set my top 15 so far in stone so I'm ranking them fairly and not just throwing albums in not listening to them lol. Should take me a few days but I'll put them in here once I'm done :)
Great list. My favourite albums from your list and also among my faves of the year so far are Takida, Florence Black and Blacktop Mojo. "Born To Lose" is my fave track from "Pollen" and one of my most played songs of the year so far. "The Loneliest Hour" is my fave from "The Agony Flame" and "Bed Of Nails" is my fave from "Bed Of Nails" 🤘🤘🤘
Awesome new Evergrey album!😍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
