The topic you had all been waiting for. First recommendation, the album Spectrum by the band Am I In Trouble? (weird choice for band name, I know). It is progressive, avant-garde, and, at times, black. Early year highlight for me.

Not my style but some of you might enjoy it. Polish heavy metal with some country influences. Only one single available thus far.





And now something more right up my alley... The long awaited debut album by Necromaniac. Black/death/thrash from the UK.

Atmospheric black metal, dungeon synth, folk, all nicely blended with great flow.

Female-fronted, mid-'70s hard rock and early '80s metal.

We get to see lot of female fronted metal bands exhibiting the same style of music, but the execution comes out to be very poor.

This sounds great. Right in my alley.

Steve Wiener from Ashenspire is behind this, so you know it's good.

He's from a band called "Ashenheart".

What a blunder. I have to delete it, it is in the OP.

This one leans slightly more towards Blind Guardian in its faster moments, but is solid old school power/speed metal with some occasional blasts and other more aggressive leanings, plus some NWOTHM songs in there too (which I'm less keen on)
