Besides replacing a submission that wasn't on Spotify, I've also replaced a song that was from the Lamb of God debut (not including their deathly incarnation Burn the Priest) New American Gospel because it's tough groove metal to my ears, with small hardcore elements borrowed from the Burn the Priest album. I'm not sure what I was thinking adding that song suggestion. Judgement submission coming soon...
May 15, 2021 02:46 AM

That was the right call on the Lamb Of God track. I actually had it slotted in for next month's The Pit playlist & was thinking of pulling it out when you submitted it here. I'm much more comfortable this way.

Skycamefalling - "10.21" (from "10.21", 2000)

October 30, 2021 01:28 AM

I'm pleased to announce that Andi will be programming & managing the monthly Metal Academy Radio "The Revolution" Spotify playlist moving forwards (starting with the November list). Andi has been our only regularly contributing member of The Revolution since our inception & I'm excited about the prospect of having someone more dedicated to the clan being responsible for unearthing new & exciting sounds from all eras & subgenres.

Another perfect fit here.

Here's my track submission for the November playlist Andi:


Every Time I Die - "Dark Distance" (from "Radical", 2021)

November 03, 2021 01:16 PM
Good suggestion, Daniel! I didn't have the time to check out that Every Time I Die album yet because I was heavily busy the last couple days, not just with my clan playlist track thoughts, but also with a sh*tload of stuff in the outside world. I'll most likely be ready after my Persefone album review marathon. By this weekend for sure...

Even though I am now in full control of assembling the Revolution monthly playlists, I'm still up to submitting 7 Revolution tracks publicly for each month, as a sneak peek for the other members and so I could build up the private (until the beginning of the next month) rest of the playlist from those tracks, so here they are:

Botch - "Saint Matthew Returns to the Womb" (3:04) from We Are the Romans (1999)
