August 2022 Metal Release Tracker

 

 

I'm currently compiling metal and metal-adjacent music for Territory's Edge, my monthly recap column on New Fury Media.  After the last Friday of the month (August 26), I will select 5-8 albums or songs to discuss in detail.  My favorites as the month progresses are marked with 🐅 symbols.
