#nowplaying #GroupMetalAOTY2024 Invincible Shield- Judas Priest

I’ve never gotten into JP, but I’ve listened to this a few times because it made @tomroberts‘ and @derthomas’ lists. It’s…. really good.

#nowplaying the next entry in #GroupMetalAOTY2024 : Never, Neverland by Unto Others

Gonna be honest, I’m 5 tracks in and struggling.

#nowplaying Songs of Blood and Mire by SPECTRAL WOUND

Another new one to me off the #GroupMetalAOTY2024 list. A touch blacker than my usual taste, but I like it.

The group metal AOTY list is already yielding fruit, with an intense few hours listening to Oranssi Pazuzu. (Too many hours maybe.)

For any of my fellow miscreants who still use Spotify, here's a playlist of the #GroupMetalAOTY2024 list that @Kitty organised.

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4BSEp1xWyKUAfkkqOKhlBk

Results of the Group Metal AOTY Top 5 in descending order:

Joint 9th place Opeth and Xion
8 Borknagar
7 The Cure
6 Spectral Wound
5 Unto Others
4 Oranssi Pazuzu
3 Judas Priest
2 Julie Christmas
1 Blood Incantation

We had:

41 metalheads participate

128 different albums voted for

Blood Incantation won by almost double the number of votes that Julie Christmas received

Julie Christmas just squeaked ahead of Judas Priest

As a friend said, is it time to ask Metal Archives to give Robert Smith an honorary page on their website now?

Thank you for joining in and for boosting the call for participation
