Useless knowledge about my list with #Metal #Countdown #2022 :
I apparently stayed at home this year seeing as the country spread was as follows:
Swe: 6
UK: 2
US: 2
It was also a year of contradictions, and of blending sub-genres that normally would be seen as impossible, or at the very least, unusual. I couldn't care less though. If something sounds good it, to me, is good.
Like Meshuggah says when asked what they themselves think Meshuggah are playing, and everyone expects them to say "poly-rhythmic bla bla" or "technical progressive bla bla snore", they themselves call what they do simply for "Metal". I have done the same on this list.
Death Core + Metal Core? Metal.
Hard Core + Metal Core + Southern Metal? Metal.
Technical Death + degree in medical precision? Metal
I notice I could also say 20

I notice I could also say 2022 indeed was the year of the Buster. Not just any Buster, but very specifically Buster Odeholm.
Buster has been involved in the production, as in recorded/mixed/mastered or played, in no less than 5 of the songs on my list (Vildhjärta, Allt, Humanity's Last Breath, Soreption and Thrown). He also actively plays in 3 of the bands (Drums in Vildhjärta and Thrown, Guitars in Humanity's Last Breath) on my list.
Even though the songs on this list merely represent a band or an album I also see that when it comes to the official videos for the literal songs I used, 3 of them were made by the video magicians #Riivata from #Finland. It could have been even more had I not selected songs that I hadn't recently shared. Regardless, Riivata are amazing. Extremely talented visual artists.
Anyways, that was some of the things that made an impression on me for the Metal year of 2022. There was more, but hey, there always is. What do you think?
