Give me your best 2019
This year was a disappointment - especially since 2018 was so fucking kickass (Night Verses, Daughters, Rolo Tomassi etc.). So please give me your favourite 2019 record, that's NOT black or death metal. It's christmas and I have enough time listening to them. Merry christmas everybody! |

Nick DePirro (Guitar god from Night Verses) + some other dudes (I think one of them is the drummer of In Flames?) dropped my highlight of the year on the 30th of December. Thanks to Calc for posting this in the Night Verses thread!
