I'm very excited to announce that Sonny will be taking over the programming & management of the monthly Metal Academy Radio "The Fallen" Spotify playlist moving forwards (starting with the November list). I think this will only work to improve what is already one of our strongest & most consistent playlists in my opinion.

This will be a great step forward for the Fallen playlist. Sonny is the perfect choice for this.
Here's my November picks Sonny:
Saint Vitus - "Mystic Lady" (from "Hallow's Victim", 1985)
My Dying Bride - "The Crown Of Sympathy" (from "Turn Loose The Swans", 1993) - Sorry but this revisit was the biggest "The Fallen" release for me over the past month. :)
Crowbar - "The Lasting Dose" (from "Sonic Excess in Its Purest Form", 2001)
Adrift For Days - "The Leech" (from "The Lunar Maria", 2010)
Void of Silence - Farthest Shores off The Sky Over (2018) - not the best album from this highly underrated band, but still a good one
Light Field Reverie - Dreamwalker off Another World (2020) - I'm sure you'll hate this one Sonny, but someone has to choose some gothic metal - plus I really enjoy it!
Ophis - Default Empty off Spew Forth Odium (2021) - I expect this track will make it up to you 
Total Running Time: 29:58
Thanks Ben. I can assure you that all selections are equally important to me!
Trouble - "The Skull" (from "The Skull", 1985)
Katatonia - "Without God" (from "Dance Of December Souls", 1993)
Isis - "Celestial (The Tower)" (from "Celestial", 2000)
Messa - "Da tariki tariqat" (from "Feast For Water", 2018)
Shape of Despair's new single! - Reflection in Slow Time (2021)
Swallow the Sun - This House Has No Home off Moonflower (2021)
Novembers Doom - The Pale Haunt Departure (2005)
Triptykon - Aurorae off Melana Chasmata (2014)
Just listened to the Shape of Despair single and it's sounding good for the new album!

Do you have an alternative selection?
Please replace it with these ones Sonny:
Anathema - "Radiance" (from "Eternity", 1996)

Hi Ben, apologies if I've missed it, but do you have any suggestions for the March playlist as I have started knocking it together and would like to complete it at the weekend.
