Magnesis - La Bête du Gévaudan (2020) Title of the album in English: The Beast of Gévaudan. Concept album by a French progressive rock band based on a dark story in French history: the beast of Gévaudan. The Gévaudan is a region where it is said that in the past, a wolf was rampant in the countryside, killing peasants without ever being found. A wolf was finally killed, but no one could ever prove that it was the right wolf... Or if it was really a wolf hiding behind all these murders. Lȧȧz Rockit - Know your enemy (1987)

Entombed A.D - Back to the Front (2014) RIP Lars-Göran Petrov !

Ange - Guet-Apens (1978) Come on! Another day at work and I start it with French progressive rock! This album is one of the best of its kind in France. All the tracks are memorable, especially the final track, Capitaine Coeur de Miel (Captain Honeyheart). 14 miraculous minutes! Nemo - Barbares (2009) Still French progressive rock, this time with more aggressive guitars: Nemo and his 2009 album, Barbares. A record full of emotion!

Nevermore - Enemies of Reality (original mix) (2003)

Excellent choice! This 40 minute piece is perfection!

Ritual Carnage - The Highest Law (1998) Nihilist - Demos 1987-1989 (2005)

Mine! Coroner - * Dark Angel - * Blood Reign (Kerry King's post Slayer band) - * * I know the names of the albums but I keep it to myself ! 😁

Overkill - Horroscope (1991) Seprevation - Consumed (2014) Savage Grace - Mas)ter of Disguise (1985) Voivod - The Wake (2018) Virago - Premier Jour (2000) Virago is a French rock band that unfortunately disappeared a good twenty years ago. Their music was a bit like Jesus Lizard, which was one of Virago's influences. This is their second album, First Day in English.

Candlemass - Sweet Evil Sun (2022)

I think that Venom brought to Black Metal its name (with its album of the same name), maybe the satanic imagery of the band and the fact that the musicians used pseudonyms (Cronos, Mantas, Abaddon). But Bathory brought much more to the genre in my opinion.

At your disposal, navybsn 😉 If singing in French doesn't scare you, I recommend these two albums to get an idea about French prog rock : Sorry for the off-topic!

Obituary - Inked in Blood (2014)

11 records for me. METAL (in alphabetical order) : An Abstract Illusion - Woe Arsena - Blood Rusted Mother Earth Blind Illusion - Wrath Of The Gods Force of Hell - Better Be Dead Hellish - The Dance Of The Four Elemental Serpents Les Enfants de Dagon - De Profundis Sigh - Shiki The Boneless Ones - Back To The Grind NON METAL (in alphabetical order) : Francis Décamps - Bien Au-Delà Du Délire JPL - Sapiens, chapitre 3/3 : Actum Nemo - Les nouveaux mondes 2022 The 3 non Metal albums are French progressive rock albums. It's a style I like a lot after I discovered by chance The Villa Strangiato (Rush) in 1984. In France, we have talented progressive rock bands, like Ange, Magma, Nemo, JPL, Gens de la Lune, Lazuli, ... For the 8 Metal albums of my list for 2022, a lot of Thrash, but also albums that are out of the ordinary (An Asbtract Illusion, Sigh, Les Enfants de Dagon). I love bands that try to invent something and at the moment, I notice that it's mostly in Black Metal that we find the most. Besides, the 3 bands mentioned above are part of it.

Ritual Carnage - Every Nerve Alive (2000)

Possessed - Beyond the Gates (1986)

The Clan Destined - In the Big Ending... (2006) Rush - Hemispheres (1978) Viking - Do or Die EP (1986) Vltimas - Something Wicked Marches In (2019) Voight Kampff - Substance Rêve (Dream Substance) (2018)

Enslaved - Eld (1997)

This year I bought 45 albums (including EPs and singles). In the lot, the complete discography of Mekong Delta, some old Pestilence or Septic Flesh. But also a lot of new releases for which I liked a track. Nothing on CD or LP, everything in digital (high quality), because of lack of space. I don't listen to everything, of course, but each album I buy corresponds to a need according to my desires of the moment and I know that at any time, I can listen to it. 45 albums in one year is a record for me. Usually, I am much more "difficult" in my choices.
