Hello my fellow metalheads! Got myself a brand new account, thanks to the new login conditions. Who cares, it was an old account anyway. I've been away for a long time, and I got myself a New Years resolution, being revisiting an old hobby of mine. Listening to new metal albums all the time, and ranking them in personal lists here on metal storm! So here I am, introducing my top 50 metal albums of 2023!

UPDATE:

After playing around with making separate lists containing albums from three month periods during 2023, I finally decided to make a single list. Since there are so many great albums coming out this year, the list now contains 50 albums instead of 20

Have a great day!

1.Wayfarer - American Gothic

2.Hellripper - Warlocks Grim & Withered Hags

3.Fires In The Distance - Air Not Meant For Us

4.Moonlight Sorcery - Horned Lord Of The Thorned Castle

5.Shylmagoghnar - Convergence
