“Everything we’ve done, we’ve done together. We got here together, and we’re still here. Things have happened, but it’s always worked out for us, ’cause it’s always been all of us. That’s how I know. ‘Cause as long as it’s all of us, we can do anything.” ~ Rick Grimes
The Walking Dead…. sort of symbolic of our mainstream vs the underground. The mainstream being the zombies of course. We’ve all been together sorting through the bullshit for several years, and some of us our entire lives. Despite our political differences, we are all a part of the same team and each month bringing more power to our arsenal in the form of hard hitting jams. July brings another 23 brand new entries to the table with the top slot being pretty much a runaway. Congratulations to all the bands who made the list out of 223 different albums getting votes.
I was surprised to only see five of my choices make the final list. But as Bucky already said, no less than 223 albums got voted for. And that’s an awesome amount of heavy albums that were released last month or are about to be released. And guess what, that amount or even more get’s released every month! We’re all living in an insane and weird period of that thing we call our time on earth, but the amount of incredibly music released every month, makes it awe-inspiring, humbling and tremendous as well! Personal votes went out to King Buffalo, Cassius King, Gods & Punks, Planet Of The Dead and The Age Of Truth… I’m gonna be diving head first into that lovely Doom Charts pool as soon as I can! Starting with that Professor Electric release Emerging Forth Into The Light!
