Karlo, Josh and Eden are back for the attack, counting down the their favourite albums of 2023.*
Has 2023 been a good year for music? Is there even such thing as a good year for music? Why bother ranking things anyway? Having said that, why isn't Katatonia on Eden's list? Why aren't more people talking about Unearth? Is time even real? And, more importantly, is the new Tesseract album actually any good? Listen to find out!
*I have since listened to Eden's "album of the year" and really rather enjoyed it. Reminds me a lot of Baroness (who were another bigger metal band that didn't really deliver this year), but mixed with like a folkier Pallbearer or something like that.**
**Still not as good as Brave New World (2000) though, is it?

Unseen Academicals – Soul Music, Part 1: Magical Music
The August episode is coming!! In the meantime, enjoy an episode of Josh's other podcast, Unseen Academicals, wherein he and Heavy Blog is Heavy (http://heavyblogisheavy.com/) Editor in Chief, Eden Kupermitz talk about Terry Pratchett's 1994 Discworld novel Soul Music, focusing on the book's engagement with the literary tradition of "magical music" and how it is foundational to the fantasy genre (and perhaps even the universe itself!) through its depiction in the myths of Orpheus, Genesis, H. P. Lovecraft, J. R. R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings and C. S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia, among others, as well as music's unmediated connection with spirituality and memory.*Subscribe here: https://feeds.sounder.fm/11752/rss.xml (https://feeds.sounder.fm/11752/rss.xml) *May also contain copious amounts of Whitesnake.
