The Best Metal Albums Of 2023 So Far
New products arriving for 2023. The January releases of Ville Valo and Katatonia open the door to another great metal year. Since then we've welcomed major artists like Avenged Sevenfold, Babymetal and Metallica, as well as releasing a variety of exciting sounds alongside epic releases from emerging talent like Sleep Token, Code Orange, Salbird and Bury Tomorrow. Underground border.
So where do we start with all this? Here we are: we've been searching for a long time for the metal albums that will be most popular in 2023. From death metal to thrash to gothic alternative, from pounding techno metal to twisted BM, here are the albums you should definitely listen to this year (so far). And believe me, there's more to come.
Avatar – Devil's Dance (Black Waltz)
Ahead of Avatar's ninth studio album, frontman Johannes Eckerström said the release will "preserve heavy metal". It was a bold statement from a band dedicated to theatrics, but we'd be damned if Dance Devil Dance wasn't delivering fun metal music in 2023. Holly Wright noted: "Just when we think there's nothing left to explore, his ninth studio album [Avatar] takes us in new and surprising directions."
The Sevenfold Revenge – Life is just a dream... (Warner)
The seven-year wait for a new Avenged Sevenfold album has at least ensured that "Life Is But A Dream..." is by far the band's most ambitious album to date. Proga, heavy metal, thrash, psychedelia; A7X really made a splash with their eighth album, Dave Everly said: “Avenged Sevenfold climbed a mountain and looked around, then dived in, not knowing where, when or what. They would appear in the world. How crazy." Is this? The best."
Babymetal – The Other (Babymetal/Amuse)
Babymetal returns after a twelve-month hiatus in October 2022, offering fans a new single from their fourth album every month. Even that didn't prepare us for the big step forward they've made with their new concept album The Other One , shaking off some of their previous hyperactivity and creating what Alec Chillingworth called "definitely the strongest collection of illusions to date ".
Baroness - Pierre (Abraxan Hymn)
The move away from the color theme that had characterized their albums up to that point did not represent a radical change in John Baisley's approach to his art, but it certainly consolidated Baroness' position as one of the most dynamic bands and artists of their time. generation. and subtle new nuances: “ The stone is a monument to ambition and weight, and the refusal to stay in one place too long, lest roots or fatigue take over,” says Hammer's Alex Deller.
Blood Command – World Domination (Glutch)
The Norwegian-Australian disco black metallers have finally put together a groundbreaking line-up and are heading for the kitchen sink with their fifth album. This makes for one of the best but worst-performed albums of 2023. “This is a hard band and album to predict,” said Hammer's Stephen Hill in his 9/10 review. “It's more than reliable, it's important.”
Bury Tomorrow – Settimo Sole (Metal for Nation)
Tired of being labeled as British metalcore's underdogs, Bury Tomorrow want to use their seventh album to show how massive their sound has become without losing the raw fear at its core. Stephen Hill stated that "an easier career path for Bury Tomorrow would be to attract a rock audience." Their popularity may still be higher than that of The Seventh Sun, but the fact that they have gone further says a lot about their attitude and will. They like making music
Cannibal Corpse – Horrific Chaos (Metal Plate)
“Honestly, Cannibal Corpse has gone on for so long with so much ferocity and energy that it should have been cancelled,” said Hammer writer Dom Lawson in his review of Savage's latest episode. Legends of death metal. Not a Chance: The Corpse Grinder and his merry men remain as combative as ever, beating horrible odds after horrible odds and showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon. This can continue for a long time.
Cattle Heads - Terracite (metal plate)
Eight Cattle's album Beheadings continues to find unique new ways to turn the stomach with relentless, chaotic brutality, alternating with progressive twists and breathtaking melodies. Hammer author Dom Lawson acknowledged this, stating that Terracite was "still evil, brutal in the head, but with plenty of atmosphere and intelligence" .
Code Orange – Superior (Blue Grape)
How about one of the most intense, emotional, daring and visionary metal albums of recent years? You have to get another one! The Above lights up Code Orange's spectrum with lighter tones than the fans, the hard alt-rock of Circle Through and the haunting electro-pop of Mirror adding welcome new nuances to harsh sounds and abrupt breakdowns. Hammer's Dave Everly puts it succinctly: "This should all be modern heavy music, but it often isn't." »
Cryptopsia – While Gomorrah burns (nuclear explosion)
The wait for Cryptopsy's first studio album in 11 years was more than worth it, as the brutal Montreal techno-death veterans delivered plenty of punchy, fast, merciless riffs. "Half an hour of full bomb protection, the closest thing bombers would wear to hazmat suits," says Hammer's Kevin Stewart-Panko.
Death Pill – A death pill (new heavy sound)
Recorded against the backdrop of the Russian invasion of their country, Ukrainian hardcore punks Death Pill rage full of defiance and anger on their self-titled debut album. Sure, the album was written before the war, but Death Pill is deeply vexed by themes ranging from sexuality and self-determination to anti-war sentiments. Stephen Hill stated: "Death Pill has created one of the best crossover albums of modern times."
Delain - Dark Water (Napalm)
With most of the band gone in 2021, Delain's Martijn Westerholt had to effectively resurrect symphonic metal contender Delain for his seventh studio album. Led by new singer Diana Lea, Dark Waters showed that the band are still moving forward with confidence, with Danny Lavers commenting: "It feels like a band reborn: huge and full of brilliant energy."
Demonstealer – Propagation Tool (Free Edition)
As one of the leading figures of the Indian extreme metal scene, Sahil "The Demonstealer" Mahija is known to be something of a Midas when it comes to creating sophisticated, high-end extreme metal. Demonstealer's fourth album is no exception, as Chris Chantler writes: "With this fourth Demonstealer album, [Sahil] returns to his best work: dynamic, progressive death metal peppered with dark riffs and cosmic riffs."
Remote: inheritance
In case you missed the memo, Datacore will be big business again in 2023. Lorna Shore may be the headliner, but the whole scene is full of emerging talent ready to take the genre in exciting new directions - and it's This is where the Dutch bastards come in. “Heritage” sees the band embrace a sci-fi sensibility with powerful, intuitive charisma. Extreme, Sophie Maughan stated that "this third studio album from Century Media is refined and goes straight to the solar plexus".
Empire State Bastards – River of Heresy (Roadrunner)
An extreme metal side project from Biffy Clyro frontman Simon Neill with Mike from Oceansize and Dave Lombardo from Slayer?! Needless to say, our interest was piqued and Empire State Bastard was indeed made. “This is a wonderfully twisted debut album and hopefully part of a long journey,” said Paul Travers in his 8/10 review of Metal Hammer .
Slaves – Heimdall (nuclear explosion)
Few bands have been as enslaved as black metal, and with their sixteenth studio album the Norwegians are once again breaking new ground. Blending elements of prog, folk and even psychedelia, Heimdall demonstrated the band's commitment to reaching new horizons. Paul Travers sums up: “The Bergen Five aren't the only band that took black metal in the wrong direction right from the start. ...beginnings.”, but they are the most imaginative. And it's exciting.
Godflesh – Purge (Snowfall)
After a six-year hiatus between albums, Justin Brodrick brings his menacing, noisy industrial monster Godflesh back to life in Purge, the band's ninth studio album that captures the claustrophobic, suffocating onslaught that was an influence decisive on their industrial metal.
However, this reliability and consistency is exactly what fans have come to expect from Godflesh. Alex Deller believes that "now even casual listeners know what to expect: dark, mechanical industrial metal at its best, played by a duo who helped bring the genre's founding music to prominence."
Hanabi – Superstar Reborn (Music for the Nation)
Adding a welcome touch of bubbly J-pop to a mix of gritty metalcore and gritty EDM, Hanabi is unique in the metal scene. “Hanabi has a lot of ambition and talent and she shows it in Reborn Superstar! said Hammer's Catherine Morris. “A diverse and massive album that deserves to become an international phenomenon.”
Immortals – War against all (nuclear explosion)
Demonaz may be the farewell of Immortality and the sole survivor of the chaotic wails of recent years, but fortunately that drama hasn't dampened the frenetic whirlwind of laid-back black metal that rages at the band's heart. The band's tenth studio album, War Against All, doesn't follow the formula Immortal have perfected over the past 30 years, but it still sounds fresh and wild, with Joe Daly explaining that it has "catchy riffs that are as catchy as anything . "am. the band has it." it is never revealed and the song has a lot of depth. "
In Flames – Back (Nuclear Explosion)
Ever since In Flames released “State of Slow D” in June 2022, fans have been thrilled at the prospect of the Gothenburg melodeath pioneers returning to the sound that made them so iconic. Luckily, Forgone has delivered on that promise and more, holding back some of the new In Flames while simultaneously enjoying the visceral satisfaction of epic, infectious melodic death metal.
Stephen Hill admitted that "the addition of former Megadeth and Nevermore member Chris Broderick as a permanent member has reinvigorated one of the most important attacks in the band's arsenal." The riffs on “The Great Deceiver” and “Forgon Pong” are sharper than that. of a samurai sword. 1 and Chris and Björn Gellot bend, weave, touch and beat together brilliantly in incredible style.
Katatonia - Starry Sky (Napalm)
Katatonia have come a long way from their doom metal roots and have blended goth metal and prog throughout their career, ensuring their sound is constantly evolving. Sky Void Of Stars' twelfth studio album offers a breathtaking glimpse into the enormous range of their sound, which is one of the most magical songs the band have ever written. Dom Lawson believes that "Katatonia seems more absorbed than ever in his good and impeccable work." The only predictable thing about “Sky Void of Stars” is how unfathomably grandiose it is.
Metallica – 72 Seasons (Black/Universal)
The biggest metal band is back at the races. A new Metallica album is so rare these days that it's still worth mentioning, even if it isn't released at a relentless pace that would evoke the band's thrash roots.
But season 72 also brought with it even more emotion, as it came after a tumultuous time for frontman James Hetfield. The best way to do it I know, I know, I know, I know. ন যে "[জেমস হেটফিল্ড] এখানে যতটা উন্মোচিত হয়েছ ে ততটা কমই হয়েছে।"
