My quick guide to find great metal bands to check out. Thanks brother.

I don't comment as much as i should but damn i love these videos every week, thank you so much.

Got a little crazy on my cd purchases so having to get caught up on the metal release videos. Watching these and end up going straight to Bandcamp, lol but true. Thanks Jon and greetings from Omaha. 💯

This guy Nik Nocturnal you mentioned can't believe how many subscribers has talking about mostly deathcore - is it his personality or deathcore is still that big?

Mirar was aoty material 🔥😁. Need to listen to that perchta record as well thats prob fabulous 😊

I was on shrooms heavily my first time hearing sleep token. It was like “finding therapy while looking for therapy - finally”

Rivers just puts out one metal masterpiece after another.

Ulcerate #1 for me

Something truly out of the ordinary is gonna happen for that Ulcerate album NOT to be my AOTY 2024.. Ulcerate are so ahead of the competition, that it's not even funny.. 🤗

Some really weird shit, and i'm loving it. Perchta (just fuc*ing amazing), dagoba, mirar and ulcerate are a must.

amazing interview

That Apes album is sick!!

MIRAR is scary as hell. Thanks for that one. I also loved TORTURERS LOBBY-Deadened Nerves (blakdethrash)this week. Favorite album art I've seen for next week: LES CHANTS DU HASARD; ALCEST; GREENLEAF; COBENTRICE. Recent Metal Saxophone Sightings: AETHERIA CONSCIENTA; WE BROKE THE WEATHER; ZOLFO; REZN; and the new SEAR BLISS(symphblak) has a full time trombonist. Other strong metal records this week I noticed were CRYPT SERMON(nwothmdoom) and FLAGMAN (primus-core). Beertime...

You gonna be at blue canary tonight?

Crypt Sermon - Stygian Rose is a banger!🤘🤘

To cut the throat of God is to infer that God has a throat, let alone a cuttable one. If we go with it, now we've housed God in the flesh of man, we've rationalized the irrational. Now the concept of God is destroyed, who's neck are we slicing?

Some killer picks! Looking forward to checking out the new Fu Manchu! Also a lot of others I want to check out, thanks! Awesome video, keep up the great work!

Damn no Crypt Sermon? Heard Doom album of the year with that one!

Nice video mate ! Immortal Disfigurement's album is insane ! If only the production was at the same level...But, I think for a debut and considering all they've being through, things ended pretty well I would say

i love the vocals on where owls know my name, such an iconic and near-perfect album for me... Ulcerate album is great and Mirar is just nutso, also the new severe torture album is a banger

Rivers of nihil I never thought a saxophone would sound good with metal but it sounded great

I do like my metal heavy and weird. Thanks Jon!

I'm old. OG. And you've opened me through philosophy. Every age deserves to have their golden days. I almost feel bad about associating baby Yoda to the pudgy character in Last Caress.

Best band ever

Got my tanktop Jon! Great service and awesome design, even momma likes it. THANKS

The fisrt 4 metallica's album are the best (i'm really old). I first started listening to metallica on "and justice for all" but You can't top the fisrt three albums. And for some reason I never liked Star wars, many of My Friends love those movies but I was never able to get into the team.

There's heavy fast swing groove hitter n there's just young fast blastbeat turds drumming can get Uninspiring pretty quick with blastbeat turds

Great riffs and no singing. Hard to come across nowadays.

He makes me sick to my stomach he I said he

Slipknot members are notoriously goofy and playful and rumor has it Jay had a bad attitude, enough so that it started affecting everyone else. Joey was fired for prioritizing other projects over Slipknot (apparently). Craig left so he could care for his sick wife.

at least we have SOME kind of 72 seasons recording footage, parody or not!

It's because their music is really good and they're talented musicians. Also I kinda hate music that feels like it fits a specific definition. Give me something new and different. The lyrics don't matter to me at all (at least for this band). It's also why I like Tool and Radiohead.

Dear friend Jon, i want your opinion on this, i am Metallica fan since 2003, i went on their concerts wherever i can in Europe, what i think that for me every album except lulu (witch is totally fail) has unique vibe, instead playing same music for 40 years like Slayer, i am totally support different approach and trying to experiment, even st anger have awful sound of snar on that drums, but that album played live is headbanger brothers, for example frantic live is like thunder! Master and Black album mby are peak of heavy sound and themes on songs, but new album 72 seasons live....mad that is some heavy sh*t, i think they still got it, and i like harmonies on that album, i cant compare old with new but i know one think, that live they have heaviest sound in universe! that is my subjective humble opinion

Mythraeum is the Bomb !!!!!

Great comparison. The contrast is what happened after their wrong turns. Disney ran Star Wars down the toilet, through the sewers... all the way into the mantle and it's never recovered. Conversely, Metallica had a renaissance and created Death Magnetic which is a masterpiece. For context, my entry points were Kill'm All and A New Hope.

I just love how freaking mesmerizing their music and stories are, I think the covering of love songs with a sort of gospel deity is creative. Alkaline is my top favorite song and the fun part is not necessarily the story vessel is telling but the story you think he’s telling and what does he mean.

I am in the 80's and 90's Metallica category, who else?

Metallica and Star wars have reached an insane level of greed. I can't wait to check out the Fortnight concert of cartoon Metallica playing fake virtual concert geared at children 🤣

Nah, the entire Star Wars sequel trilogy is pure trash that a large percentage of the fanbase just disown entirely....in fact everything Disney has done besides Rogue One can get F**ked

Fun fact: My entry point was ''ST Anger'' that's why I love this albums and what came after and before ofc

really good discussion-- I really like how Sarah articulated the fundamental differences between art and content. As you said,100% this is all all a great example of why technocrats shouldn't be in charge of anything!!

Evildead - Toxic Grace is my pick. Really good Thrash. 4/5.

Are you kidding me? Burtontallica = a lot of headbanging. Justice... Had some very nice tunes, respectable. Black album = oh great now the mainstream chicks like it and I'm not too cool with that. Load + reload = Side project with people who happens to also be in metallica, has some very nice tracks, it's just not thrash. St Anger. It will grow on you if you let it. From there on out, I lost interest. Star wars... Prequals were too much CGI all over the place, dialog written by an autist who doesn't understand human interaction, but dude, he seems to have the heart in the right place, he just needs help (Marcia Lucas) Disney wars. A friend of mine liked TFA, so I held up my keys and shook them. Oh look it makes noise and it sparkles, aren't you entertained now? I really liked this video and you can like whatever you want, just know that if you think TFA was worth anything I hold the right to shake shiny things and shake them at you.

Sounds like they target gen z incells

Saw the first Star Wars when was thirteen but by the time Return of the Jedi came out was done. Haven't seen any of the movies after these, no desire to. Got to see Metallica on Ride the Lightning tour so go back awhile with the band. When do listen to them now and mostly is pre-Black album, 90% of the time. Thanks Jon.

Perhaps music should be considered free, however labor is not. Any serious musician should look carefully at all the benefits of creation and distribution.

I am def OG trilogy for BOTH

I think fixing the toilet was a bad example. idk tha sounded crazy to me lol

I feel like both camps have unreasonable expectations and zero room for growth or change. That said, the earliest albums and movies DO have something extra that’s never been duplicated. Great comparison!!

I have a hard time choosing between album 2, 3, and 4. Don't get me wrong, Kill 'em All is awesome, but I listen to the other three more. That's my trilogy. I give the edge to Master of Puppets because it has Disposable Heroes on it. I love that track. I can't get into new Metallica. I've tried but it just always falls apart for me. I want that pure thrash sound. Other bands can do it (listen the the awesome track "True American Hate" by Testament, it's got that old Bay Area sound, but feels modern too). I wish Metallica would do the same. I know they have a few heavy tracks, they start out pretty cool but then don't punch just right.
