| ________________________________ [Dec 21,2012 2:37pm - KEVORD ""] LOL @ Blackgrass album. |
| ________________________________ [Dec 21,2012 3:11pm - Spence ""] The new Pharaoh album is quite excellent, at least. |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 21,2012 3:14pm - Garth Algar ""] Listed in alphabetical order instead of ranked for some gay reason: Aksumite, 'Prideless Lions' Asphyx, 'Deathhammer' Bosse-de-Nage, 'Bosse-de-Nage III' Derkéta, 'In Death We Meet' Horseback, 'Half Blood' Pallbearer, 'Sorrow And Extinction' Panopticon, 'Kentucky' Pharaoh, 'Bury The Light' Pig Destroyer, 'Book Burner' Testament, 'Dark Roots Of Earth' |
| ________________________________ [Dec 21,2012 3:15pm - Spence ""] The comment section is cringeworthy. ZOMG WHERE'S BTBAM AND CONVERGE GUYS? |
| __________________________________ [Dec 21,2012 4:17pm - chrisREX ""] I really enjoy Horseback. Also, it's funny how they base the write up for the Pharaoh record talking about Chris Black, when he's just the drummer. Not that drumming isn't important, but he's by no means the star of that record. I also liked all of his other recent records better than that one. |
| _________________________________________ [Dec 21,2012 4:47pm - BobNOMAAMRooney ""] Spaceghostpurrp had the best black metal album of the year. |
| __________________________________________ [Dec 21,2012 5:49pm - largefreakatzero ""] Testament: boring and overrated. List is fag. |
| _______________________________________ [Dec 21,2012 7:08pm - boblovesmusic ""] Derketa rules |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 21,2012 9:02pm - the_reverend ""] Isn't that list like 90% of kevord list? I knew he voted for Obama. |

| ______________________________________ [Dec 24,2012 8:07am - douglas fir ""] Hivesmasher gets namedropped: Like a nail bomb hooked up to a chandelier (yeah, I thought that part in Skyfall was awesome, too), Book Burner is a classy joint waiting to explode. Perennial favorite Pig Destroyer's fifth album had competition for grindcore record of the year (sup, Hivesmasher), but it's the architecture of this insanity that wins it for me, like Matthew Barney madly scaling the Guggenheim in The Cremaster Cycle. New member Adam Jarvis (Misery Index) ends up being the linchpin holding it all together, his machine-gun-drumming a perfect foil to Scott Hull's spiraling riffs. |

So, had PD not come out with Book Burner we might have been in that slot? I dig it. |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 24,2012 7:45pm - Goatrider ""] This list is like an overdecorated pseudo-dive bar attached to a metal venue, where everyone's 'edgy rock chick' girlfriends can go and wait for the boring bands that yell too much to stop playing. Then Asphyx stopped in to get directions. |
| ________________________________________________ [Dec 25,2012 1:31pm - whiskey_weed_and_women ""] That xPDx record isnt very good. |
