Hello there. Below lie my favorite death metal records of 2023 listed alphabetically by band name, with subgenres included if by chance anyone cares. The list will be updated periodically when I get through the ungodly amount of great music the year has produced. As always I welcome recommendations in the comments. That being said, let the blood spill and enjoy the following carnage

Great fucking list... Now though, for the recommendations if you haven't already checked them, they come in the shape of:

1. Sarmat - Determined To Strike
2. Fleshvessel - Yearning: Promethean Fates Sealed
3. Lunar Chamber - Shambhallic Vibrations
4. Neurectomy - Overwrought
5. CauseNeffect - Validation Through Suffering

The first three there are especially fucking amazing.

Thanks dude
Fleshvessel and Lunar Chamber I've heard since posting this list and I've not updated it yet, they would get in here for sure.
The rest go on the to-do list, which is huge now, I've been listening to less music this year comparatively. I'l start with Sarmat, they seem weird
