I guess it's time for an update on my preliminary AOTY list. I also added my notes.

Wildhunt still holding on to the top spot. I saw them live and they played really good 🤘

Zepter is a new one and oh boy that is some old school heavy metal that is totally up my alley.

Ritual Arcania also deserve a shoutout, that's some spooky stuff.

What's your AOTY so far?

@derthomas 'Outstanding Power' by LOVEBITES released this week has a good chance of keeping the top spot all year long.

Other than that, Converge and Kreator are up there.

@tomroberts oh I really liked their last one!

@derthomas It is full of guitars. So many guitars.

(By that I mean, there's just tons of different guitars sections. Thrashy stuff. Power ballads. Bass solos. I really enjoyed it.)
