Happy Friday! We're now officially past the six month point of 2023, which is as good as excuse as any to dig out some of the finest records of this year in the worlds of both rock and heavy metal, to assess that yes, 2023 has been another great year for music.
But we digress; you don't come here to look back after all so here are the results of last week's vote! There was a diverse spread of styles on offer last week, from prog-tinged metalcore to all-out death metal brutality, but it was the bombast of heavy metal that won the day; newcomers Dogma took a very admirable third place with My First Peak, beaten out by a triumphant KK's Priest and last week's overall winners, the baroque stylings of Amaranthe's ultra-addictive Damnation Flame.
