A retrospective of the best new albums of the past year, based on my cumulative listening since October 2022. To make the comparison fairer for newer releases I've grouped everything by quarters of the year
most of these are #blackmetal but there's some #doommetal and #deathmetal in between
how many and which do you know?

#Day39 – A Fresh Favorite
A song that’s been released less than a year ago.
I was going to pick #Screamer, but @pro already did that so I'm gonna go with one that was released last year, which would have been on top of my #AOTY2022 list, if I had one:
#Hath - Kenosis
But wait... no... that's actually not true. My AOTY2022 is without a doubt Ghost's Impera.
So I'm gonna cheat and pick a second one, here's:
#Ghost - Kaisarion

🎶 #AOTY2022 🧵 (11/x)
Sarathy Korwar - Kalak
https://songwhip.com/sarathy-korwar/kalak
Sarath Korwar and Photay knock it out of the park with this Jazz release that leans strongly on musical traditions, culture and literature from #SouthEastAsia. The album is a musical criticism of #Colonialism by rethinking Jazz from a non-western perspective.
#Jazz #IndoFuturism #Electronic #Polyrhythms #WorldMusic #Improvisation
2022 has been an interesting year to say the least. Ups and downs all round but at least there were at least as many ups as downs.
Feel like that’s kind of reflected in my Top 30 this year. Here’s to 2023 and hopefully seeing a bunch more of these bands live 🎆🖤
🎶 #AOTY2022 🧵 (10/x)

https://songwhip.com/700bliss/nothing-to-declare
