I was kinda light on discovering new music this year. But, this is an honest list (last.fm keeps me honest – behavioral analytics FTW) that is schizo as hell but very, very me. I still refuse to write record reviews because I’m terrible at them, so it’s not a coincidence that I saw every act on this list at least once this year.
9. The Dead Weather / Sea of Cowards
8. Landmine Marathon / Sovereign Descent
7. Black Breath / Heavy Breathing
6. Howl / Howl
4. Combichrist / Making Monsters
3. The Dillinger Escape Plan / Option Paralysis
2. Black Rebel Motorcycle Club / Beat the Devil’s Tattoo
