i don't think many of us expected much out of this year, yet for many of us, it still fucking sucked. so we turned to what people like us turn to...music. no matter what, it's always there. it's always comforting. it's always cathartic. it's always our friend. it's always there when nothing else isn't. music. music and dogs. music, dogs and mothers. their love is unconditional. more than anything else, it's what matters. i lost my mother this year. i lost my dog this year. 2 of the 3 most supportive beings on this god forsaken shithole rock that i had. this list is what's left. whatever...we march on. humans are weird that way.
Zao- "The Crimson Corridor"
Frozen Soul- "Crypt of Ice"
if i felt like continuing this list there'd be several more.
rejoice,
the plague,
swampbeast,
dome runner,
carcass,
gosudar,
eye flys, chevelle and
thorn would all appear above. also, i haven't listened to many new releases over the past few months so 1914, khemmis, converge, churchburn, cadaveric fumes, heiress, and genocide pact probably deserve a spot. i'll get to them eventually.
