One of the new additions to our global writing team this year was Matt Cook from the Boston area, where our roots run deep.

Check out his Top 25 Albums of 2022 here.
Denver gore-obsessed Death Metallers Angelic Desolation, not only make great extreme metal, they are students of the game as well!

The band has blessed (cursed?) us to know their Top 10 Albums of 2022.
