Record(s) o’ the Month – September 2018

On October 7, 2018 By Angry Metal Guy

"Twenty-eighteen is shaping up to be a remarkable year. September alone had nearly a dozen records that staff writers wanted to nominate for the Record o' the Month. I can say with certainty, having been at this for a while, that few months have been as contentious behind closed doors at Angry Metal Guy Amalgamated Blogworks, LLC. Dozens of verbal spats escalated quickly into an Anchor Man-like brawl, featuring fighters lining up to shout each other down about Voivod's legacy, reviews written by fanboys, and Satan's novelty before someone—possibly Dr. Fisting—attacked Steel Druhm with a trident. After I single-handedly dispatched the opposition to avenge Major General Steely D, however, it was clear that there could only be one choice for September's Record o' the Month." What's the best soundtrack for a backstreet brawl among metal reviewers?

Record(s) o’ the Month – June 2018

On July 10, 2018 By Angry Metal Guy

"Summer is always a slow time for metal releases. I bet some stats nerd out there could run which months correlate with the end of year lists, but I'd be willing to bet that summer months don't. This is because most bands are out hitting festivals, fans are out seeing them, and no one's spending money on new records. Yet albums are being released, and we here at the Angriest of Metal Guys dot Coms have been slaving away over hot reviews this whole time. As a result, we're hitting you up with the most unexpected Record(s) o' the Month for June of 2018 ever. Not only is it vaguely on time (they're a planned portion of the month late so that we could enjoy that Amorphis wallpaper a little longer), but no one fucking called these. Yeah, that's right. Who's unpredictable!? I'M UNPREDICTABLE! You're welcome." Loose cannon's gonna cannon.

Record(s) o’ the Month – May 2018

On May 29, 2018 By Angry Metal Guy

"It is often predicted that whatever records I review in a month will be the Record o' the Month. This makes sense, as I have repeatedly referred to this as "Angry Metal Guy's Record(s) o' the Month." But what's little known about this process is that we do actually vote. The votes don't always move the needle on what I choose in the grand scheme of things. However, the writers frequently point me, as The Decider (that means that I decide), toward what the various writers and fans are enjoying. This is quite helpful for everyone involved. So yes, as usual, we are looking at my Record(s) o' the Month. But this time around, there was also a pretty strong consensus behind closed doors which albums should be the Record(s) o' the Month. And it gets better: it's even on time! Is it a coincidence? Or did someone threaten to rip out my fingernails behind the scenes if the Record(s) o' the Month weren't on time for May? The world may never know. But the world is going to enjoy the hell out of this wallpaper for the next six months..."
