yeah I'm kinda undecided on whether I prefer 2023 or 2024. Some really nice ones this year, but I don't think as many good ones as last year so far. But, OK, it's only halfway through the year

22:20 - Cynic Metalhead

2024 for metal is good. Very disappointed with Thrash.

22:17 - Roman Doez

For non-metal, the new Sheena Ringo did not disappoint but Maruja, Mdou Moctar and Satoko Shibata are putting up a good fight as well

22:15 - Roman Doez

Metal-wise the new Nimbifer and Chapel of Disease especially stood out
