Hi Invisibles of the night.
Let's bring some metal into this Three Tune Tuesday! (format brought to us by 
On this episode of #TTT I bring you three metal albums from last year that made it onto my listening list. Ready? Go!

The Fear of Fear - Spiritbox
Spiritbox have been around for a few years now but it is in 2023 that they exploded among the metal community. Thanks to the incredible voice of singer Courtney LaPlante, who juggles perfectly between a huge growl and clean lyrics with a pop and melodic flavor, and the progressive metalcore riffs of guitarist Mike Stringer. The vanguard of the new metal generation destined to gain the big stages. They have more than 2 million monthly listeners on Spotify! Super congratulations to them. And I love this album and their videoclips which are spectacular.
Violent Communication - Shadow Cliq
Annieshred on guitar and Dannie Dodge on synth, MIDI guitar and production, they are Shadow Cliq, an eclectic new act in the future of metal. The kawaii-girl voice of Annie clashes with the cyberpunk basslines and the aggressive playing of both guitars and synths, with sounds inspired by the dubstep genre. Slap some metalcore guitar riffs in there and you find yourself thrown into the suburbs of Night City, year 2077. If you didn't know about the existence of future metal, here it is. If you don't like it, you're not an edgerunner.
Dislike to False Metal - Nanowar of Steel
In Italy, Nanowar of Steel are an institution. They've been making crazy comedy metal since the early 2000s and in their twenty-year career they've improved like the best Italian wine. Dislike to False Metal is perfect for pissing off the boomers and gatekeepers of the genre, starting with the most successful single, Disco Metal, which in fact sounds more 90s Eurodance than metal 🤣 If you can get all the quotes in this song, you're great.
What I love about Nanowar is their skill in maintaining a classic sound but then bringing it to the service of the topic at hand (often something very stupid and hilarious). Lately they have also managed to play at festivals outside Italy, so if you happen to, go and see them. Fun guaranteed!
And that's it for today! What are your favorite albums published in 2023?
