First of all, Happy Newyear, wishing you all a healthy, blessed and prosperous 2019!
Thanks for your support over the past year, we really appreciate that. The past year has brought us loads of decent new releases, new bands and nice concerts/festivals. We expect that 2019 will be even better! The next year will be the 13th. year of ‘The Metal Resource’.
Anyway, a little bit later then expected: But we are having each staff member of our team list their choices for The Top 10 Best Albums Of 2018 (In no particular order). Unfortunately, not everything is delivered on time, so as you can see below there are missing a few top-10 lists.
