2022 was a year of changes for me. I graduated High School in the spring, and went to college (SUNY Purchase) in the fall, meeting tons new people and discovering myself.
There was a ton of great music to go along with it it too.
Blackbraid - Blackbraid I
U.S.

Blistering Atmospheric Black Metal with a theme of Indigenous Peoples who live in the Adirondacks. The riffs are great and catchy, vocals understandable, interlude tracks are beautiful. Great musicianship.
Favorite Track - Barefoot Ghost Dance on the Blood Soaked Soil
Bloodywood - Rakshak
India

Indian Folk mixed with Nu-Metal. Tracks switch between angry protest tracks and tracks about mental heath. The folk influences set this band apart from most other Nu-Metal, and are so intertwined the band wouldn’t be the same without it.
Favorite Track - Chakh Le
Chat Pile - God’s Country
U.S.
July 29, 2022
Sludge metal with vocals that feel very deranged. A perfect soundtrack to this late capitalist hellscape, with great riffs, pounding drums, and amazing atmosphere.
Favorite Track - Why
Death Island - Aeons of Carnage
U.S.
October 12, 2022
Melodic Death Metal band from my area, formed at the college I go to. With a unique Blackened Death sound with lyrical themes taking from all over, the dual vocalists are fun to listen to. I’m excited to hear more.
Favorite Track - Wolves Are A Feasting
Froglord - Army of Frogs
U.K.
November 4, 2022
Gimmick sludge metal about a kaiju Frog? The best Froglord album ever with catchy hooks and a fun metaplot? Proceeds going to save the frogs? Count me in. A fun album. (Fun fact: Army is the noun used to describe a group of frogs in science)
Favorite Track - Army of Frogs
Kanonenfieber - Yankee Division
Germany
March 23, 2022
The follow up to 2021’s amazing debut, this EP kicks serious ass with heavier melodic songs. The late Trevor Strnard of The Black Dahlia Murder is featured, and it’s just great musicianship.
Favorite Track - The Yankee Division March
Kanonenfieber - Der Fusilier
Germany
November 19, 2022
The second EP of this year, this is a concept EP about a single German soldier, featuring one of Kanonenfieber’s saddest songs. This has solidified the band as more than just a one off success.
Favorite Track - Der Fusilier II
Lorna Shore - Pain Remains
U.S.
October 14, 2022
The first full-length featuring Will Ramos, he solidifies himself as the growling GOAT with emotional tunes and soaring choruses. The symphonic elements make this deathcore great. The breakdowns are brutal af.
Favorite Track - Sun//Eater
Non Est Deus - Impious
Germany
March 4,2022
From the guy behind Kanonenfieber, his first project’s third album is awesome, with catchy evil riffs and an anti-Christian theme. The cover art is amazing, and the music just as good. More traditional in it’s black metal, it’s still great musicianship.
Favorite Track - Hexenwahn
Sakis Tolis - Among the Fires of Hell
Greece
March 22, 2022
From the frontman of legendary Black Metal band Rotting Christ comes an emotional album about the soul through the lens of Satan. It sounds like 2000s Rotting Christ, but with a different message, and just as good atmosphere. My favorite track has also made me cry.

Bollocksed up my training order today. Meant to be a legs day, but wrote down pull day instead, so pull day it is. I'll do legs tomorrow. All went decently enough. This session is probably my least favorite of all. Not a huge fan of face pulls and pelican curls, latter needing a bit of an assist still. Either way, got it done.
A-Z today is Blackbraid "Barefoot Ghost Dance on Blood Soaked Soil" — not much I can say about the music. Just kick ass indigenous black metal from back east. Highly recommend.
