## The best of 2006 - 2014

### GD's verdicts - Best of 2012: sincan

#### 26/12/12 || sincan

#### 1. Mgła: With hearts toward none

##### sincan (Commander of the trve kvlt division):

This has actually been a quite interesting year in terms of evil music and I must say that it wasn’t easy to select just five out of maybe seven or eight worthy candidates, according to my preferences. But here we are and the war between the second and first place was an epic battle without mercy nor was there any sexy nurses in cute dresses. So obviously the Polish panzer war hate machine named Mgła won this battle, but as I see it they now march together with Marduk for a war against more or less everything worth fighting. With hearts toward none is a record that I undoubtedly will use to fill parts of my life, on this planet, even in a distant future in the year of 2013.

Recommended song: IV

2: Marduk: Serpent sermon

Well, what can one say. Marduk is back after their little bland “Wormwood” and wow, they bring the heavy artillery! What we have here is a record with many strong tracks which succeeds to stand out in this inferno of darkness and death. I think that they actually got a wider audience with this one, but there is still no compromising at all! You will get cold and filthy but yet hard cock that rams your ass so fast and so hard which most likely will make you shit serpent semen during a long, long time.

Recommended song: Temple of decay

3: Winterfylleth: The threnody of triumph

Snow covered and epic black metal which also is pretty fucken awesome direct from Great Britain, who would have thought this? I must say that I actually had some troubles to finish this list since I had a couple of albums I didn’t fully payed attention to, all I wanted to do was to listen to “Winterfylleth”. Well, good that the winter is long!

Recommended song: A memorial

4: Weapon: Embers and revelations

This is some heavy black/death metal provided by a most deadly Weapon. I really like that they have a modern touch in their music and still sounds awesome in this time when modern and black metal doesn’t usually mean something good. Canada delivers!

Recommended song: The first witnesses of Lucifer

5: Angel Witch
NWOBHM from 2012. It is something with this album that makes me like it more than I should. Maybe it is like that because the track “Dead sea scrolls” might be one of the best ones from this year, and we also have the superb track “Witching hour” which also makes the heavy metal fist say hello to the sky. Not all tracks on this album is of the same high quality, but still this is something special!

Recommended song: Dead sea scrolls

Close but no cigar:

Deathspell Omega: Drought

A fine piece of music but the slower parts where the guitar is twisting into your brain are to few and the speed is often high which sometimes just removes their characteristic sound.

Burzum: Umskiptar

Not as good as Belus or Fallen, still a pretty good record though. Too many parts where not much is going on, I was expecting more!

Nettlecarrier: Nettlecarrier

Black metal directly from Norway with the sound black metal should have when it comes from Norway. If the songwriting just was a little bit sharper with more memorable tracks this would be totally shitfucking good. Maybe this is a grower, but it’s to early to say by now. Paa vaare paaler deres hoder!!

Major disappointments of 2012:

Burzum: Umskiptar

As I said previously about Burzum, my expectations were really higher!

A Forest Of Stars: A shadowplay for yesterdays
I read interesting stuff about A forest of stars latest offering but I found it to be a little bit as a circus, I fucken hate circuses.

Drudkh: Eternal turn of the wheel

They Still doesn’t sound as good old Drudkh as we all remember ‘em, such a waste of talent!

Black Sabbath didn’t play at the two occasions where I was supposed to see them, I’m not blaming them though! But the way they’ve handled Bill Ward is so fucken full of diarrhea that I don’t know where to start for fuck Sharon in the ass sake.
