Leading up to the end of the year, Revolver has asked some of our favorite artists to pick their Top Albums of 2012 and tell us why each record rules. Here, Nathan Opposition (pictured left), vocalist of the acoustic occult-rock band Ancient VVisdom, selects his faves.
5. Pallbearer, Sorrow and Extinction
“American doom with great melodies and triumphant guitar harmonies.”
4. The Rolling Stones, GRRR!
“They still got it!”
3. Non, Back to Mono
“A marvelous portrait of sonic destruction.”
2. Cold Cave, A Little Death to Laugh
“Dark mood, moving pace, brooding lyrics. I’m morbidly obsessed.”
1. Electric Wizard, Legalise Drugs and Murder EP
“Classic Electric Wizard! Everything I have ever loved about them.”
