Top 20, or the stuff I felt like writing something about, not really in a full on particular order:

Clinging To The Trees of a Forest Fire - Visceral 10"

Pretty much the record of the year for me, if you care to know why, read my review here.


Vallenfyre - A Fragile King
http://www.metal4.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Vallenfyre-News-Stream2-300x300.jpg
Stumbled upon this by accident and it turned out to be one of my favourite records this year. Allstar project with Greg Macintosh (Paradise Lost) on the mic. Anyone who's into Death Metal, Doom, Sludge and even D-Beat and Crust will love this. There's a bunch of full blown hits on this one. It's still heavy and gloomy as fuck, yet catchy at the same time. Well done!


northless - Clandestine Abuse

Certainly the heaviest record of the year, also the only full on Sludge album I really cared for. …

I got some time to waste and if you got even more time to waste than read this! (or fuck off :D )

1. How did you get into 29?
Hopesfall
I don't really remember where I first heard of these guys, but they took a lot of winter-car rides with me ;)

2. What was the first song you ever heard by 22?
The Chariot - And Shot Each Other

3. What's your favorite lyric by 33?
I got 3 bands on 33 position, so I pick City and Colour - The Girl
it seems to be written for the cutest girl in the world (my girlfriend) and reminds me to always treat her well.

4. How did you get into 49?
Set Your Goals
listen to them on any sunny day and you will know ;)

5. How many albums by 13 do you own?
Lower Than Atlantis - I've got Far Q but I have not yet bought their new 12" World Record and I'm not into Bretton, too much

6. What is your favorite song by 50?
Rise Against
they just got to many songs sounding the same to pick a special one, but I guess it would be Broken English or maybe Savior

Zdobywający ostatnio coraz większą popularność djent interesuje także i mnie. Lubię posłuchać sobie takiego Fuge, Periphery (choć co do nich można by co nieco gorzkiego - w moim mniemaniu - znaleźć), The Safety Fire czy The Advaita Concept.
Ale, jak to zawsze bywa w zyskujących ciągle wzrastające uznanie gatunkach, i tu pojawiają się zespoły, których muzyka zaczyna być coraz bardziej podobna do siebie. Jest tak ze wszystkim, ot, choćby z moim ulubionym gatunkiem, jeśli można to tak określić (że 'ulubiony', no i że 'gatunek') - atmospheric sludge metal, czy tam post-metal, jeden pies, także wygenerował masę kopistów; jednak specyfika tego gatunku u mnie wygląda tak, że potrafię w ciemno kupić jakieś trzecioligowe granie (jak to ładnie się ujmuje), podobnie, jak np. zatwardziały thrashowiec kupuje podobnego poziomu płyty różnych mało znanych zespołów, o których istnieniu osobiście nie mam pojęcia, a po przesłuchaniu jakiegoś myślę, że w sumie nic by się nie stało, gdybym tego nie usłyszał. …
