Mostly Metal's Favorites 2024
We're six months into 2024, and again overwhelmed by amazing, new music. Below you can find a selection of records that got a lot of playing time in Mostly Metal's headquarter so far (in order of their release date). Welcome to check them out, maybe you find something new for your listening pleasure you missed so far.
There's always a link to Bandcamp or a Linktree, and in case I wrote a review or did an interview, you'll find a hint for it too.
Dive in, have fun \m/
