Since end of December has most bands already setting sights on next year, I decided to combine those last two weeks into one final list and give myself next Monday off. With over 2000 releases (MetalBite database only) in 2019 alone, I think we all deserve a short break. I'm not claiming that I've heard them all, but they all were sent to us via promo email, physical format or as a word-of-mouth recommendation, and great majority was at the least checked with one spin before we moved on to the next victim. So, if you're disappointed that your band/record wasn't reviewed join our ranks, because it looks like there are a lot more bands than reviewers.

Till next year...
