Hellripper will fight Screamer for the number 2 spot on my #AOTY2023 list. But who knows, maybe not even Obituary is safe? Let the battle begin! 🤘

Good morning folks.
Just listened to Celestial Rot from All Out War. Entertaining, but nothing stood out after one spin. I bet this is much better live.

Aujourd'hui sur Blog à part – Twilight Force: At the Heart of Wintervale

« Jusqu'où peut-on aller trop loin? » en power-metal symphonique. Énième exemple avec At the Heart of Wintervale, nouvel album de Twilight Force.

#fantasy #metalsymphonique #power-metal #Suède #TwilightForce

Verdict... Difficult to rate, it started great, but the ballad and some other stuff towards the end were turn-offs. I am conflicted. If I give it a 3, it gets the same rating as Twilight Force, although I like their album better. Here's my solution for that problem:

#AOTY2023:

1. #Obituary - Dying Of Everything 4,1/5
2. #Screamer - Kingmaker 4/5
3. #Memoriam - Rise To Power 3,5/5 (NEW)
4. #TwilightForce - At The Heart Of Wintervale 3,5/5 (+0,5)
5. #AllMyShadows - Eerie Monsters 3/5 (NEW)

Finally I had time to listen to #Memoriam's new album #RiseToPower. Funny thing, I like Karl Willet's vocals much better on this one than on Bolt Thrower. I still prefer John Tardy style vocals though.

So, will Rise To Power make my preliminary #AOTY2023 list?

YES:

1. #Obituary - Dying Of Everything (4,1/5)
2. #Screamer - Kingmaker (4/5)
3. #Memoriam - Rise To Power (3,5/5)
4. #TwilightForce - At The Heart Of Wintervale (3/5)
5. #MONOINC - Ravenblack (3/5)

Plans for the weekend? Catch up with chores. Binge something from the backlog. And maybe go through January's #MetalMatters to see what @AlterAnthony and Spyros have been listening to.

Time for a verdict after 1 spin:

Solid Melodic Death if you ask me (but what do I know?).

Nothing really stood out though. So, will this one be a #AOTY2023 contender?

Nope. I'd give it 2,5 out of 5 for a solid but average album.

Here's my updated preliminary #AOTY2023 list:

1. #Obituary - Dying Of Everything (4,1/5) +0,1
2. #Screamer - Kingmaker (4/5) +0,5
3. #TwilightForce - At The Heart Of Wintervale (3/5)
4. #MONOINC - Ravenblack (3/5)
5. #Leiþa - Reue (3/5)

So, will MONO INC. #Ravenblack land on my preliminary #AOTY2023 list?

Yes:

1. #Obituary - Dying Of Everything (4/5)
2. #Screamer - Kingmaker (3,5/5)
3. #TwilightForce - At The Heart Of Wintervale (3/5)
4. #MONOINC - Ravenheart (3/5)
5. #Leiþa - Reue (3/5)

Good morning folks!

Today is a #Kingmaker kind of day...

If I listen #Screamer's newest album a bit more, they might even climb to #1 in my #AOTY2023 list, which currently goes as followed:

1. #Obituary - Dying Of Everything (4/5)
2. #Screamer - Kingmaker (3,5/5)
3. #TwilightForce - At The Heart Of Wintervale (3/5)
4. #Leiþa - Reue (3/5)
5. #Katatonia - Sky Void of Stars (2/5)

#TwilightForce im #MTC . Kitsch hoch 10. Disney auf Speed. Eskapismis in gänzlich neue Dimensionen. Technische Perfektion mit Gefühl.

Oder kurz: ein unfassbar geiler Abend.

Ich bin so voller Energie und ausgepowert zu gleich. Das dritte Konzert seit Jan 20, das letzte der verschobenen.
Das ist das, was ich am meisten vermisst hab.
Wie immer im MTC. Viel zu laut, aber grandiose Stimmung.
Und Entdeckung des Abends: Seven Spires

This: "When I first heard #TwilightForce many years ago, I thought it was some of the dorkiest, cheesiest, silliest, overly fantasized 'adventure metal' I ever heard of. Then I actually HEARD it, and the pure excellence of the musicianship and the sheer love and passion in the production performance and delivery was simply palpable and immediately evident. The sheer power of the metal and the joy in the lyrics was mesmerizing!" (Calvin Vice on YouTube) 🤘

@SyrinxTemple I never listened to #TwilightForce before, so this was my point of entry. And I like this album a lot! ⚔️ 🐲 🤘
