This is a special one! In our sixth episode we look back at what a fantastic year 2023 has been for heavy music. Join us for the official, authoritative, comprehensive, argumentative, and not at all unapologetically nerdy EARBVDS Album-of-the-year-round-up of 2023, as we move swiftly as ever through 29 albums spread across 16 positions in reverse order, all in the monumentally challenging, agonizing, bittersweet endeavor to discern the undisputed Earbvm of the Year 2023.

No guest in this episode, save for our very own audio wizard Stefan, who has emerged from the shadows of off-mic obscurity and graced us with his audible presence for this episode.

Also, no detailed show notes on the albums we cover this time, because, obviously, no spoilers.

However, as always, for your convenience we have prepared a Spotify-playlist for you to check out all the lovely music we talk about, which inevitably, contains all the spoilers. But if you go there prior to listening, that’s on you.

Once again, we invite you to come along for this metallic journey of epic proportions.
