2019 has been an exceptional year for new music. It started off slowly, but by the end of the year I was struggling to keep up.
As per last year, Ever Metal asked me to produce a Top Ten of my favourite rock and metal albums of the year. So here we go:
- Mammoth Weed Wizard Bastard – Yn Ol I Annwn
- Speedealer – Blue Days Black Nights
- Obey – Swallow The Sun
- Acid Reign – The Age of Entitlement
- Sunn O))) – Life Metal
- Earth – Full Upon Her Burning Lips
- Admiral Sir Cloudesley Shovel – Very Uncertain Times
- Giant Dwarf – Giant Dwarf
- Monolord – No Comfort
- Crobot – Motherbrain
All fantastic records. Honorable mentions this time to Kadavar, Firebreather, L7, Wizard Rifle and Duel.
For more rock reviews, interviews and top tens, head over to Ever Metal.
Happy New Year everybody – wishing you a very healthy and prosperous 2020!
