Best Metal of 2023

 2023 was a banner year for metal and it was very difficult coming up with a best of list.  Please keep in mind this is a matter of personal taste.  Did I listen to every release of 2023? No.  Did I like every release that most people did. Probably not.  Yes I listened to the new Metallica.  Didn't make my list obviously.  Same with Sleep Token...wasn't that impressed.  Here's what did impress me.
