Top 10 2019
(most played music this year ;
subject to change on a daily basis)
1. CUIR
"Demo Demo Demo" Raw punk with synths, just what the doctor ordered... Literally the best demo I’ve heard all year. 2. KOHTI TUHOA "Ihmisen Kasvot" Wish I hadn’t missed this raging Finnish HC maelstrom when they played Paris a while back.. 3. ORODRUIN "Ruins Of Eternity" Best comeback album of the year! Favourite doom metal album as well. 4. INSTITUTE "Readjusting The Locks" Don’t know why really but this rocking power punk album impressed me A LOT... 5. BLOOD INCANTATION "Hidden History Of The Human Race" The hype is well deserved. Death metal from beyond! 6. ALTIN GUN "Gece" I love this one so much... Perfect Turkish delight! 7. ARCH-MATHEOS "Winter Ethereal" I hadn’t kept in touch with those guys since the Fates Warning days... this one caught me totally by surprise! 8. DEVIL MASTER "Satan Spits On Children Of Light" They may be well overhyped but this kind of occult post-punk/black metal is exactly my cup of tea 9. AMULET "The Inevitable War" Why didn't this powerful heavy metal album with one of the best singers ever get more acclaim? 10. L.O.T.I.O.N. "World Wide W.e.b." Like listening to GGFH in a Berlin sauna surrounded by military men with strange mustaches. |
