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 if we're talkin just metal, these are mine so far. Got an early listen to the Cryptworm that comes out in March and that's gonna be tough to beat. But Ossification is my top of stuff that's released. I've listened to many of these a lot already this year 😂

@jake4480 I really need to take a day off to just listen to your list. I don't know any of these.

@derthomas hahaa! Some are more brutal, gross and insane than others. The ones I'd recommend most are Ossification, Body Melt, Flittering, Vertebrae Fetish Totem, and Desensitized, MAYBE Dead Filth or Melting Rot.
