Here we are, album number 20: "Scorched".

This album was my #ThrashMetal album of the year 2023.
My runner up of the "Old Farts Still Got It" album of the #AlbumOddTheYear2023 awards and my overall no 16 of my 2023 AOTY list.

Let's see how it holds up in direct comparison to their gigantic and high quality back catalogue...

@Kitty I think this was your first Overkill album, right? Do you still hear that Bag o' Bones rattling?

@BlackenedGreen I rather have a list of categories, without any particular ranking, much like what have been featured on #AlbumOddTheYear2023; also, not just music related.

#AlbumOddTheYear2023 Best screamer/growler/sing along
#metal @Kitty

Oooh this is really hard but I'm going to pick a favorite (top 5) that I haven't shared yet, this one immediately came to mind.

#JohnnyBooth - Moments Elsewhere
This song is a good example of his range with a mix of clean and growls. Also I sing along 🤘🏻

@Kitty I nominated this album already as my personal favorite album of the year and therefore second your choice.

Today, for the last #AlbumOddTheYear2023 , @Kitty proposed the "Best Screamer, Growler Or Sing-A-Long" category.

Ok, I have no doubts about this.
Insomnium all the way.

Seriously, their music emanates epicness from every atom. Everything of them could be sang-along from the deep of the lungs.

The chorus of "Lilian" is simple and effective at the same time.

"I - I drift in twilight
I stray into the dusk
I'm lost in her eyes"

Today is the last day of

✨ #AlbumOddTheYear2023 ✨

and the category as chosen by @Kitty is:

"Best Screamer, Growler or sing-a-long"

I'll choose the following verse, that is shouted at the listener in its entirety:

"Let kelpies wander the fjords
And lanterns float in the mires
The Queen of Winter, with hair white as snow
Brings the fog where they hide"

this is of course from...

#AlbumOddTheYear2023 One that flew under the radar
#metal

I'm still confused by this one, but really enjoyed it. #Atreyu had two full length releases but a few of the same songs on both 🤔

I didn't think I had anything for today's #AlbumOddTheYear2023 which is @AqiDrago 's theme of The One You Almost Missed/ Flew Under The Radar , so I had a look at this years releases and apparently The Deathstars :Everything Destroys You was released in May . Here's An Atomic Prayer from the album and it sounds pretty much like the Deathstars I remember from 10-15yr ago. This'll do for the #MittwochMetalMix too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvSMhmhKPE4

For today's #AlbumOddTheYear2023 , @AqiDrago chose the category #TheOneYouAlmostMissed . Albums that you thought came out another time and, instead, are a 2023 release.

My choice is for the new August Burns Red album. I thought to be an older release.

Killer grooves and devastating breakdowns, these guys know how to do metalcore without being trivial.
