Angry Metal Guy<p><a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/dr-a-n-griers-top-tenish-of-2024/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dr. A.N. Grier’s Top Ten(ish) of 2024</a></p><p><i>By Dr. A.N. Grier</i></p><p></p> <p><span class="">If I were to rate the year of our Lord 2024, I’d give it a solid 4.5/5.0. No, I joke. FUCK 2024. Good riddance, fuck off, goodfuckingbye. This year, the layoffs continued (even affected some of our writers here), the prices skyrocketed, the World Series was bullshit, and landfills across the States are twice their capacity thanks to useless election fliers. This year has resulted in practically zero time to work on <b>AMG</b> efforts, write reviews, or listen to music as I continue to try to keep my job. Yay. Cheers to you, 2024—you sack of horse shit. Let’s go, 2025, you sassy bitch who suggests great things to come but probably won’t deliver. If only you could promise me more time doing the things I love—listening to metal, writing about it, and pretending to edit the other writers’ reviews while completely hammered. If so, I’d kiss you as the ball drops, take you to the back alley during the after-party, and promise not to poison your coffee the next morning.</span></p><p><span class="">But we aren’t there yet. We are still stuck in the past, looking over a mediocre year of metal, regurgitating the same shit we already wrote for each album on our lists. That way, you all can praise, argue, and whine about each choice and its placement. Thankfully, my lists rarely overlap with anyone else’s and no one actually gives a fuck, so my sleep patterns remain the same. Having passed the ten-year mark at this amazing madland, my tastes remain the same, and no one will be surprised that most of the selections here are the items I alone reviewed. That changes occasionally but with no time to think about music this year, you’ll be treated to odd takes and albums that only scored a 3.0. Oh no!1</span></p><p><span class="">Thank you to the AMG staff for their lackluster productivity and overrating tendencies. To <span><strong>Dolph</strong></span><span>, <strong><span>Kenny</span></strong><span>, and <span><strong>Sharky</strong></span><span> for introducing new segments and keeping legacy ones alive. And to <span><strong>Cuervo</strong></span> and <span><strong>GardensTale </strong></span><span>for the additional year-end contributions they deliver. </span></span></span></span>I also have to give a huge shoutout to the top bosses—<span><b>AMG</b></span> and <span><b>Steel Daddy</b></span>—for all they do2. I guess I should also thank all of you for your continued support. I guess. May this list find you well as we are thrust into 2025 and the potential nightmares that it’ll bring. Cheers.</span></p> <p><span class="">#ish. <b>I Am the Intimidator</b> // <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/i-am-the-intimidator-i-am-the-intimidator-review/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><i>I Am the Intimidator</i></a> – What? You fucking knew this was coming. When <span><b>Steel</b></span> told me to review an album about NASCAR and Dale Earnhardt, I couldn’t <i>not</i> do it. I mean, this one-off, self-titled record from a one-off band was a perfect opportunity to unleash my rage. And then… wait, what the fuck? It’s actually kinda good? In a weird year where I reviewed two racing-related albums, <i>I Am the Intimidator</i> sports3 six wild tracks that combine <b>Dio</b> and <b>Iron Maiden</b> with <b>Ministry</b>. What the fuck? And, somehow, the lyrics would be fucking hilarious if they weren’t so passionate. OK, the lyrics of the surprisingly delicious and crushing “Gasoline” are fucking hilarious, and a regular, all-caps attack in the <b>AMG</b> channels. After all the chaos and wild influences that make up this tight, six-track album, the passion for “The Intimidator” is true, even if it’s weird. But, I can’t stop listening to this album any more than I can stop drinking beer.</span></p><p><span class="">#10. <b>Dust Bolt</b> // <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/dust-bolt-sound-fury-review/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><i>Sound &amp; Fury</i></a> – Like so many other <span><b>Grier</b></span> lists, there’s always an album that becomes the most frequented in my shit-filled ears. Yup, I know, you all fucking hate it, and I couldn’t care less. For the band (and style), <i>Sound &amp; Fury</i> is a brave effort that I find addictive, fun, and hilarious trolling material when <span><b>Steel</b></span> talks shit. Is it thrash? No, but that didn’t stop me from proclaiming <i>Load</i> as <b>Metallica</b>’s best album. Shifting away from the overused thrash concept and mediocre record releases, <b>Dust Bolt</b> chose the unconventional route of cleaner vocals, smoother production, and catchier choruses to remove themselves from their past outings (and, some would argue, from thrash and metal in general). For you naysayers, there are plenty of headbangable moments on <i>Sound &amp; Fury</i>, so you don’t have to feel like a poser singing these new songs in your mom’s shower.</span></p><p><span class="">#9. <b>Midnight</b> // <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/midnight-hellish-expectations-review/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><i>Hellish Expectations</i></a> – Perhaps one of the most prolific metal bands out there, what can I say about <b>Midnight</b> that I haven’t said already? Oh yeah, they’re badass and if you don’t like them, you’re shit. Also, fuck you. Like previous releases, <b>Midnight</b> continues to speed through riffs that bring to mind classic outfits like <b>Darkthrone</b>, <b>Motörhead</b>, <b>Venom</b>, and <b>Celtic Frost </b>at a relentless speed. While other <b>Midnight</b> records are better, <i>Hellish Expectations</i> joins its compatriots in a discog that can do no wrong. Unless, of course, you don’t like this band’s style. In that case, read above regarding that “fuck you” thing. What makes <i>Hellish Expectations </i>great in this frustrating year is that it caps at twenty-five wonderful minutes—which is the same amount of time it takes to shit out your morning coffee. So, this is a chance to correct your poserness. If you like this band, you already know <i>Hellish Expectations</i> is a fun ride that’ll keep your spikes sharp and your leather pants shit free.<b></b></span></p><p><span class="">#8. <b>Bombus</b> // <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/bombus-your-blood-review/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><i>Your Blood</i></a> – Like another band on my list, this Swedish heavy metal, hard rock band has seen a lot of ups and downs in their career.<span class=""> </span>And, for some reason, their co-founding vocalist and guitarist walked. But that didn’t stop <b>Bombus</b>. Not only did they find someone to fill those two slots, but they also added another guitarist to round it out to three. With these new additions, the skill displayed on <i>Your Blood</i> is superior to anything the band has ever done. There’re solos, harmonizing leads, and riffs up the fucking wazoo. I’m uncertain if it’s due to this new skillset or an increase in motivation with five years between albums, but <b>Bombus</b> held nothing back for <i>Your Blood</i>. While there are plenty of the bangers you would expect from a band of this caliber, like the addictive “Take You Down,” there are also other interesting inclusions that I should hate, yet love. For example, the weird, Spaghetti Western qualities of “Your Blood,” the <b>Nick Cave</b>-meets-<b>The White Stripes</b> musings of “The One,” and the bizarreness that is “Carmina.” With <i>Your Blood</i>, the band has found their groove and passion again, delivering their best album yet.</span></p><p><span class="">#7. <b>Vanessa Funke </b>// <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/vanessa-funke-void-review/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><i>Void</i></a> – This year brought a surprising new addition to my favorite bands of all time. In this case, it was the newest release from the multi-instrumentalist, Vanessa Funke. With a small but stellar catalog, Ms. Funke continuously dabbles in new influences and song approaches with each album and <i>Void </i>is no different. Coming off last year’s acoustic masterpiece <strong>Vanessa Funke</strong> rewinds to her debut record, <em>Solitude</em>, alternating between rasps and cleans, acoustic and distorted guitars, and her perfectly molded combination of folk, melodeath, and atmospheric black metal. The textures created by the vocals, guitars, keys, and piano take <i>Void</i> down into some incredible depths, engulfing its listeners in blankets that can be both soft and stabby. Albums like this are rare for me these days, so when they do completely submerse me to the point that I can’t think of anything else, there’s no doubt it’ll make it on my year-end list.<b></b></span></p><p><span class="">#6. <b>Crystal Viper</b> // <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/crystal-viper-the-silver-key-review/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><i>The Silver Key</i></a> – Maybe not everyone’s favorite Polish act,4 <b>Crystal Viper</b>’s founding vocalist and guitarist, Marta Gabriel, has been knocking around her blend of heavy and power metal for nearly two decades. But, it’s been a rocky road of great, mediocre, and rage-inducing records. Where <i>Crimen Expecta</i> shines like a bright star in the sky, <i>Tales of Fire and Ice </i>is a dumpster fire that topped my most disappointing album of 2019. When I approached this year’s <i>The Silver Key</i>, I was expecting another mid album (or worse) but was immediately engrossed—maybe even more than <i>Crimen Expecta</i>. Though many of you dislike the vocals, Gabriel is in top form. But, her vocal performance is only one aspect of the <b>Crystal Viper</b> sound. Her guitar work is some of the best of her career, lending new ideas to the song structures and album flow. While plenty of bands are—and are not better—than <b>Crystal Viper</b>, <i>The Silver Key</i> is undeniably one of the best albums of their career.</span></p><p><span class="">#5. <b>Sidewinder</b> // <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/sidewinder-talons-review/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><i>Talons</i></a> – Most likely one of the only overlaps I’ll have with the cunts that work here,5 <b>Sidewinder</b>’s newest release, <i>Talons</i>, threw me for a loop. Not expecting anything from a band I’ve never heard about, <i>Talons</i> immediately got my noggin’ bobbin’ in the most pleasing way. I can’t pinpoint exactly why I like this style of heavy, bounding stoner metal, but every time I hear it, it clicks. And nothing is better than diving right into a record where one of the band’s best pieces is the opener. “Guardians” is a quintessential <b>Sidewinder</b> piece that personifies the band and everything they stand for. But that’s only the beginning, as the guitars cruise down the road and the bass rumbles through the gravel. Clocking in at a mere thirty-four minutes, this eight-track beauty never reaches beyond its means, ensuring the songs are straight and tight, allowing Jem’s powerful vocals to direct the varying moods. While the band resides in the lush and beautiful landscapes of New Zealand,6 if a sound could represent the harsh desert lands of my home, this would be it.</span></p><p><span class="">#4. <b>Aborted </b>// <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/aborted-vault-of-horrors-review/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><i>Vault of Horrors</i></a> – As many know, death metal is not my cup o’ tea. Once upon a time, death metal was my life, but that ship sailed when my favorites grew old and repetitive, and what you all call death metal these days bores me to tears. But the one band that continues to make me salivate is <strong>Aborted</strong>.7 And, boy, did this year’s <i>Vault of Horrors</i> deliver. With tracks like<b> “</b>Dreadbringer,” “The Golgothan,” and “Malevolent Haze,” this new release offers some incredible depth and relentless brutality. <b>Aborted</b> has always delivered good-to-great albums but after nearly thirty years, how can these lads continue to improve and produce such quality releases? <i>Vault of Horrors</i> is a great record and arguably one of the band’s best. It’s been several months since this beauty was released, so if it passed by you, rectify your posersivity.</span></p><p><span class="">#3. <b>The Vision Bleak</b> // <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/the-vision-bleak-weird-tales-review/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><i>Weird Tales</i></a> – I don’t know what it is about <b>The Vision Bleak</b> but they fucking hit me and hit me hard. On the surface, their style is quite simple, but it’s the layers, stories, mood, and damning vocal performances that draw me in like I’m viewing a Vincent Price horror marathon. Combining their <b>Type O Negative</b> vocal characteristics with atmospheric moods that can be depressive at one point and ethereal at another, <b>The Vision Bleak</b> took a massive leap by releasing <i>Weird Tales</i> as (technically) a one-song album. Eight years since their incredible <i>The Unknown</i>, <i>Weird Tales</i> doesn’t skip a beat, maintaining the duo’s title as one of the greatest bands in gothic metal. With magnificent builds, eerie transitions, mind-bending fluidity, and heart-wrenching passages, the haunting nature of <i>Weird Tales</i> leaves you contemplating your existence in a world controlled by the fate instilled in it by the late, great H.P. Lovecraft.</span></p><p><span class="">#2. <b>Kingcrow</b> // <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/kingcrow-hopium-review/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><i>Hopium</i></a> – For fucking months, our progressive cunt, <span><b>Dolphin Whisper</b><span>,</span></span> tried desperately to steal <b>Kingcrow</b>’s <i>Hopium</i> from me—somehow thinking he’s better than me when it comes to describing the lushness of <b>Kingcrow</b>. The fuck. Even though <b>Kingcrow</b> hasn’t released an album in six years, there’s no way some flipper fucker would take this from me. Sure, I’m not a huge fan of progressive metal, but at least I know what’s good progressive metal instead of lazily making love to everything with the tag of “prog.” Anyway, <i>Hopium</i> continues to deliver gorgeous tapestries painted with soothing vocals, synthy atmospheres, and impressive performances for all involved. Though I consider <i>Eidos</i> their best, <i>Hopium</i> is not far behind. While tapping into common influences like <b>Dream Theater</b> and <b>Spock’s Beard</b>, this Italian outfit is very much on a level all its own. If you like prog, you’ll find <i>Hopium</i>—with such wildly varying tracks like “Vicous Circle,” “Parallel Lines,” and “White Rabit’s Hole”—to be the most diverse prog record of the year.</span></p><p><span class="">#1. <b>Borknagar</b> // <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/borknagar-fall-review/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><i>Fall</i></a> – Goddammit, I love <b>Borknagar</b>. Few bands have such high album scores for a career that spans thirty years and a dozen albums—especially with a constant rotation of players and vocalists. Though, how can you be pissed off about having any of the great vocalists <b>Borknagar</b> has employed throughout the years? Since the beginning, the band has continuously introduced more melody and keys in their music, but <i>Fall</i> is special compared to the output in the last twenty years. Though this new album hasn’t hung up that hat by any means, Øystein G. Brun, Lars A. Nedland, and crew dug through the ashes of the past to bring some of those old-school black metal moments back into the mix. From the blackened assault of “Summits” and the <b>Dimmu Borgir</b>-esque vibes of “Northward,” the band continues to shock and surprise, avoiding a repetition from a previous album. So, dive into the best album o’ the year<i> </i>in all its glory.8</span></p><p></p><p><strong>Honorable Mentions</strong></p><ul><li><span class=""><b>Portrait</b> // <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/portrait-the-host-review/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><i>The Host</i> </a>– While I didn’t like the production of <b>Portrait</b>’s <i>The Host</i>, I’m still a slut for <b>King Diamond</b> and <b>Meryful Fate</b>-adjacent metal. Especially when it comes to <b>Portrait</b>, who continues to be less like a copycat and more like a pioneer of the style.</span></li><li><span class=""><b>Attic</b> // <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/attic-return-of-the-witchfinder-review/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><i>Return of the Witchfinder</i></a> – More <b>King Diamond</b>-core! Easily one of the best examples of the sound, <b>Attic </b>continues to keep me coming back with each release. As their predecessor, <i>Return of the Witchfinder</i> brings a new story, more twists, and those pleasing falsettos that trigger my “O” face.</span></li><li><span class=""><b>Sarke </b>// <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/sarke-endo-feight-review/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><i>Endo Feight</i></a><b> </b>– Sarke (the artist) and crew have had one hell of a busy couple of years. This year, in particular, sees not only a new <b>Sarke</b> release but also a new <b>Khold</b> record (see below). <i>Endo Feight </i>is a wonderful addition to the band’s catalog and, by god, it’s wonderful to see the man himself back behind the kit.</span></li><li><span class=""><b>Khold</b> // <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/khold-du-dommes-til-dod-review/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><i>Du dømmes til død</i></a> – See? I told you it would be here. While 2022’s <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/khold-svartsyn-review/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><i>Svartsyn</i></a> was better record than <i>Du dømmes til død</i> (and a fantastic comeback), <i>Du dømmes til død</i> still has those elements that make the band so unique and fun to listen to.</span></li><li><span class=""><b>Blood Red Throne</b> // <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/blood-red-throne-nonagon-review/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><i>Nonagon</i></a> – Three years ago, <b>Blood Red Throne </b>released not only one of their best albums but 2021’s best death metal record. Unsurprisingly, it’s difficult to follow something like <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/blood-red-throne-imperial-congregation-things-you-might-have-missed-2021/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Imperial Congregation</em></a> without some hiccups. That said, <i>Nonagon</i> is still a brutal piece of work worthy of mentioning.<b></b></span></li></ul><p><strong>Disappointments o’ the Year</strong></p><ul><li><span class=""><b>Darkthrone</b> // <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/darkthrone-it-beckons-us-all-review/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><i>It Beckons Us All…….</i></a> – Like Sarke, Nocturno Culto has also been busy this year. If that’s part of the reason for the utter bore that’s <i>It Beckons Us All…….</i>, I don’t know. But, this new record feels like <b>Darkthrone</b> is going through the motions. While I respect that they don’t care what the fuck any of us think, this is one of their worst albums.</span></li><li><span class=""><b>Exhorder</b> // <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/exhorder-defectum-omnium-review/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><i>Defectum Omnium</i></a> – After <b>Exhorder</b>’s incredible comeback album, <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/exhorder-mourn-the-southern-skies-review/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><i>Mourn the Southern Skies</i></a>, I was more than a little excited for this new one. Unfortunately, like <b>Darkthrone</b>’s newest, <i>Defectum Omnium</i> is a dreadfully boring record that lacks all the passion of <b>Exhorder</b>’s comeback, leaving me confused and pissed the fuck off.</span></li></ul><p><strong>Songs o’ the Year</strong></p><ul><li><span class=""><b>Kingcrow</b> – “White Rabbit’s Hole” – </span>With an album full of great songs, there’s just something about the energy of this track that makes me so happy.</li></ul><p></p><ul><li><span class=""><b>Sidewinder</b> – “Guardians” – </span>This song represents some of the best stoner metal of 2024, and I can’t stop listening to it.</li></ul><p></p><ul><li><span class=""><b>Bombus</b> – “Take You Down” – </span>This song is just badass.

1001 Other Albums<p>My next month will be rather hectic, due to a ridiculous work schedule, among other things. The worst part about it will be having my usual music-listening time drastically cut, like by approximately 90%. Harsh. BUT, what will keep me going is knowing I have a King Diamond show in a few weeks. And so, for the last spotlight you’ll see written by me for a month, let’s take a look at number 67 on <a href="https://1001otheralbums.com/the-list/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The List</a> (submitted by MetalheadDana).</p><p>The first I remember hearing King Diamond’s incredible falsetto was in <a href="https://youtu.be/MFKmSAsmq30" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">this scene</a> with Jay and Silent Bob in <em>Clerks II</em> (2006). In it, Jay is dancing behind a fast-food restaurant, Silent Bob leaning against the wall, with King Diamond’s eponymous band’s “Welcome Home” (from the 1988 album <em><a href="https://kingdiamond.bandcamp.com/album/them" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Them</a></em>) playing. It was a teeny tiny snippet of the song, but I LOVED it.</p><p>At some point after seeing <em>Clerks II</em> a few, uh, dozen times, I completely latched onto this album by King Diamond’s other band, Mercyful Fate. <em>Don’t Break the Oath</em>, Mercyful Fate’s second LP, is one of those&nbsp;albums that is just absolutely perfect from beginning to end – great vocals, great riffs, great vibes, even great artwork. With King Diamond’s signature corpse face paint and the album’s Satanic-themed lyrics, this album, now 40(!) years old, was highly influential on the black metal genre that would soon follow.</p><p>Mercyful Fate technically broke up right after <em>Don’t Break the Oath</em> was released, but they soon reunited and both it and the eponymous band have continued in parallel up to today, with a new Mercyful Fate album due next year! If you’re not yet familiar with King Diamond’s oeuvre, give this one a spin. It’s a fantastic place to start.</p><ul><li><a href="https://mercyfulfate.bandcamp.com/album/dont-break-the-oath" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bandcamp: Mercyful Fate – <em>Don’t Break The Oath</em></a></li><li><a href="https://www.discogs.com/master/58201-Mercyful-Fate-Dont-Break-The-Oath" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Discogs: Mercyful Fate – <em>Don’t Break The Oath</em></a></li></ul><p>As I said, this will be the last spotlight you’ll see written by me until December. Not to worry, we have some really great guest posts lined up, one each Friday in November, starting this Friday. I’ll still be lurking on Mastodon and whatnot, so if you were wanting to submit a guest post for November, I’ll still be able to get it posted for you, just send me an email (johnmastodon@1001otheralbums.com). Otherwise, take care of yourselves, and I hope you have time to listen to some great music.</p><p><a href="https://1001otheralbums.com/2024/10/30/mercyful-fate-dont-break-the-oath-1984-denmark/" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://1001otheralbums.com/2024/10/30/mercyful-fate-dont-break-the-oath-1984-denmark/</a></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://1001otheralbums.com/tag/1001otheralbums/" target="_blank">#1001OtherAlbums</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://1001otheralbums.com/tag/1980s/" target="_blank">#1980s</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://1001otheralbums.com/tag/denmark/" target="_blank">#Denmark</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://1001otheralbums.com/tag/first-wave-black-metal/" target="_blank">#firstWaveBlackMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://1001otheralbums.com/tag/heavy-metal/" target="_blank">#heavyMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://1001otheralbums.com/tag/king-diamond/" target="_blank">#KingDiamond</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://1001otheralbums.com/tag/mercyful-fate/" target="_blank">#MercyfulFate</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://1001otheralbums.com/tag/metal/" target="_blank">#metal</a></p>
