Metal Academy Radio - "The North" Playlist September 2020

So here's the brand new September playlist for The North. I've taken a different approach to the August playlist & I think you'll all agree that it's been a positive move. Thanks for those that contributed tracks as this has definitely given the set a greater consistency. Please feel free to provide your honest feedback as these lists are very much still a work in progress while I figure out the best practice for each clan.

Three things I have learnt / relearnt from the playlist:

1. I really love black metal.

2. I really dislike folk metal.

3. I actually like Shining a lot more than I thought I did.

There's a couple of well-respected albums on there that I've not checked out yet and I definitely now intend to - Fluisteraas and Oathbreaker.

That Aquilus track was very interesting to. I'm intrigued to listen to the whole album now.
