2019: Honorable Mentions

von am 3. Januar 2020 in Featured, Jahrescharts 2019

Entweder am Konsens vorbei oder nach zumindest halbwegs objektiven Gesichtspunkten doch von anderen Platten überholt: Wieder haben es zahlreiche Alben nicht in die regulären Top 50 der Jahrescharts geschafft, aber grundsätzlich doch ordentlich Eindruck hinterlassen. Zumindest 15 Vertreter aus dieser undankbar abgespeisten Riege verdienen sich nichtsdestotrotz eine Erwähnung - unsere Honorable Mentions 2019.

Albums of the Year: Khemmis

Albums of the Year: Khemmis

von am 9. Dezember 2016 in ...in english please!

On Hunted, Khemmis can keep all the promises their formidable debut Absolution gave 15 months ago, and let fans of Pallbearer and Crypt Sermon alike lick their tongues: nobody in 2016 managed to bridge the distance of epic traditional doom and grand melodies better than the band from Denver, CO. Thus it comes as no surprise, that the four-piece managed to storm the upper ranks oft he end oft he year charts by Decibel magazine. Hard to tell, to which heights the rapidly evolving Khemmis might rise in the years to come. But it sure will be a pleasure to witness.

Albums of the Year List by: Retox

Albums of the Year List by: Retox

von am 20. Dezember 2013 in Adventskalender 2013, Featured

No offense to all the other playgrounds Justin Pearson takes part in – but Retox is most likely the straight up best band in a pool of never dissapointing projects the 38 year old has been a member of since 'New Erections' were, well, erected. The extra portion of kicking rock moments not only suits the grindcore-dervish remarkably well, combined with the stunning guitar-work by Michael Crain it also takes care of making songs like 'Soviet Reunion' or 'Greasy Palm' surefire genre-hits on 'YPLL'. On day 20 of the HeavyPop Advent calendar, Pearson tells us about his favourite records of this past year 2013.
