Kiezen tussen Bell Witch en Amenra is vrij lastig, toch maar een puntje voor de “underdog”.

Weer een lekker jaar met zeer sterke platen van Judas Priest, Hate Eternal, Abysmal Torment, Immortal, Blaze Bayley, Michael Romero, Therion, Amorphis Rivers of Nihil.

Het verschilt van jaar tot jaar maar dit was voor mij een jaar waarin ik veel nieuwe platen heb geluisterd, ook van bands die ik nog niet kende.

Daughters is geen metal maar heeft wel die metal-feel, vind ik.

Het is Mournful Congregation - The Incubus of Karma zonder be ...

Eddie begon met het typen van 'behemoth', zag dat hij op de verkeerde regel zat en vergat vervolgens 'be' weg te halen. Pure gok hoor, hehe.

Was me niet opgevallen. Zoiets zal het wel geweest zijn ☺️

Was voor mij een twijfelgeval ja, want die plaat is harder en extremer dan alle metalplaten die ik dat jaar heb gehoord. Op RateYourMusic heeft de plaat ook geen Metal-tag.
