Frosty February Ushers in the First Bandcamp Friday of 2023

The first Bandcamp Friday of the year has arrived! You know the drill: Bandcamp waives its revenue share and all the money goes directly to the artists and labels for a full 24 hours. Let’s get 2023 off to a good start, shall we? Here are my top five picks for this first edition of BC Friday 2023.

First off, released two weeks ago on indie label King Volume Records, Lord Mountain’s The Oath is perfect for fans of old school doom and traditional metal. You can pick up the LP here and read my thoughts on it over here.

Second, out last week via Heavy Psych Sounds Records, a cool throwback to ‘70s classic rock with Love Gang’s Meanstreak. You can relive the glory days of rock ‘n’ roll over here and see what I thought about it here.

Third, hot off the presses and being unleashed today is Blackwülf’s latest heavy rock opus, Thieves and Liars, via the mighty Ripple Music. Grab it here and read my musings on it here.

Fourth, out this weekend, Montreal favourites Lüger return with a killer metal album titled Revelations of the Sacred Skull on Heavy Psych Sounds Records. Buy it here and peruse my musings column about it here.

Fifth, Hail the Void have created a beast of a record with their upcoming LP, Memento Mori, which will be out February 17^th through Ripple Music. Pre-order it here and if you’re still not sure, then read my musings about it over here.

And that’s all I got! Be generous, spend wisely, enjoy the tunes and be back for the next Bandcamp Friday. It was announced that Bandcamp Fridays would continue in 2023 on March 3^rd, April 7^th, May 5^th, August 4^th, September 1^st, October 6^th, November 3^rd, and December 1^st. I will see you again next month for another roundup of picks and in the meantime, drop by the blog from time to time as I have another month’s worth of good stuff in store for you.
