(The contest is ONLY about full albums, not EP’S or singles)

2023 is slowly coming to an end! Within those 365 days we have come across dozens of top-quality releases in the extreme sound! Traditionally, in the WORLD’S BIGGEST Christmas METAL give-away, we will post a list of the 12 best albums of the year 2023 (always related to the Extreme Metal scene and especially Thrash/Death/Black Metal and all their sub-genres).

For another year, this list will be created by you, the readers of THE GALLERY.GR! After reviewing 2023’s releases and deciding the 12 albums that you liked the most, you are asked to send them to us (in descending order of preference).
For example….

01. Obituary – Dying of Everything (12 points)
02. Enslaved – Heimdal (11 points)
03. On Thorns I Lay – On Thorns I Lay (10 points)
04. …..
05. …..
06. …..
07. …..
08. …..
09. …..
10. …..
11. …..
12. In Flames – Foregone (1 point)

The first album in your list will get twelve points while the last album will take one. All together will be gathered at the end, creating the top 12 albums of THE GALLERY’s readers for the year 2023!

In order to enter the draw you have to make TWO moves, to ensure integrity but also to facilitate us in the final harvest of points. So:

A. Write at the comment’s section in the corresponding post at The Gallery: Metal Web Magazine Facebook page (ps. here) the best best Extreme Metal albums of 2023. Optional, you can also post all these twelve albums in our official page here (down at the end of the text, at the comments section) so your selections stay permanently in our web magazine’s page.

B. Mention-Tag a friend who you think should take part in this contest, along with your 12 best albums in your comment at our give-away’s post on Facebook !

C. FOLLOW The Gallery: Metal Web Magazine page, LIKE the contest‘s post and SHARE the contest on your personal Facebook profile. THREE easy things to do, in order to join our give-away!

The draw will take place in the new year, after we collect all the lists and come up with the final 12 best albums for 2023! This takes time, so be patient…..

Incomplete lists (with less than 12 albums) will not be counted in the final result and will not participate in the draw. Also lists with bands from other Metal branches (except the ones we ask for), will not be counted in the competition.
