Viper Wrapped 2023

(2022 here!)

Hi hi! Back again to share some of the things I enjoyed this year :3

As far as concerts go, it was a lot slower than last year. I saw NINE separate shows and TWENTY-NINE unique bands -- some old faves and some new. I think my favourite out of the bunch were both of the Bury Tomorrow headliners I got to see. They're sweet guys and put on a hell of a show. Hoping for more next year! 🩵

Here's a sampler playlist of 1-3 songs from each record:

without further adieu and in no particular order (and read left to right, top row first), here are my favourites for the year, under the cut

Left to right, 1-9 above, 10-18 below:

Heavener - Invent Animate (metalcore)

So Much (For) Stardust - Fall Out Boy* (rock?)

The Seventh Sun - Bury Tomorrow (metalcore)

Interludium - Powerwolf (power metal)

The Death We Seek - Currents (metalcore)

RAT WARS - HEALTH (industrial?)

Unreal Unearth - Hozier* (idk, y'all know what's up)

Take Me Back to Eden - Sleep Token (alt metal?)

[m]other - Veil of Maya (metalcore but proggy?)

Reflections - Caskets (alt metal?)

Fatalism - Polaris (metalcore)

Color Decay (Deluxe Edition) - The Devil Wears Prada** (metalcore)

Scoring the End of the World (Deluxe Edition) - Motionless in White** (metalcore)

Shrine (Deluxe Version) - Bleed From Within** (melodic metalcore)

Abyss Pt. I, EP - Annisokay (post-hardcore? that's what they say anyway...)

Venom - WARGASM (UK) (electric rock?)

Extreme Transgression - Transgressive (thrash metal)

Hands of Filth - Lust Witch (death metal)

*I know I've made a few posts complaining about FOB being mid, and that is still true. However, they have once again made a FOB album that nails their age-old sound, so why not include it? I enjoyed it, though I didn't think it was revolutionary in any way. They also greatly improved their live show since I saw them on their Lake Effect tour, so I have to give them some props here.

*Also I guess I'm a Hozier girlie now, what can I say? I'm being tamed like a wild animal.

**I opted to include all of these Deluxe editions mostly because I can. They aren't "new", but Interludium is also a different kind of animal, so why not?

If there's anything y'all would like to know specifically about certain albums, feel free to ask! I'm also gonna throw on some tags for people who expressed interest on my inquiry post about this 💖
