Holly jolly and all that mess… Anyway, we’re getting down to the last couple of these new release lists of this year, but rest assured there’s a cavalcade locked and loaded to roll out for 2023, already. So, business as usual ‘round these parts. And with that, let’s roll… Right on cue for the inevitable Best of 2022 listbusters, here comes Misþyrming to do just that with an outing that looks to surpass their previous efforts, and that’s saying something. Next up we’ve got another black metal release from Dødsengel and a doom outing from Arche that, spoiler alert, you may be hearing more about later this week. Elsewhere in this list, and as forecasted, the average of quality has not waned one bit so there’s still some balls out rockers that need your attention. Go get some and we’ll be seeing you here throughout the week.
