For the past few years that I have been working on this site and TFT I have meet some cool people (you know who you are) who are also very knowledgeable about death metal and respect the history of metal in general and I like that a lot. I've always been all about the history. This year our friend Tomb Keeper has contributed his thoughts on what is good and what is not for 2014 (\m/\m/)
