Yes, we know it’s only been two weeks since we published the first 10 nominations for albums eligible for voting next December. But we were so eager to introduce another batch of albums that 2024 offers with one great certainty: it will be filled with quality records for Hardcore and Metalcore fans in general.
We mentioned that every three weeks we would make nominations, but it might differ from time to time, just like the variations in releases throughout the months. We can’t complain, this year is rich in album releases; last year at this time there were fewer records. But does quantity matter more than quality? Of course not. And as we believe that thoroughly listening to albums is worth a thousand words, we leave you to listen to these album choices. We will soon elaborate on a section with the 20 selections just before the third release.
The ten albums have a streaming link; just click on the logo of the listening platform of your choice. Don’t forget this minded, this is not a top album, the numbers are just for the countdown.
