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 the doom-metal band Castle select their faves.
5. Verdunkeln, Weder Licht Noch Schatten
“Hook laden and hypnotic black metal.”
4. Uncle Acid & the deadbeats, Blood Lust
“Doom that makes you want to party.”
3. Aluk Todolo, Occult Rock
“Pushing the boundaries of black metal with equal doses of psychedelic, krautrock, and doom.”
2. ZZ Top, La Futura
“Billy Gibbons vs. Rick Rubin. Everybody wins.”
1. Witch Mountain, Cauldron of the Wild
“Uta Plotkin’s vocals bring this album to dizzying heights.”
After a knock-down, drag-out voting battle, Canadian rockers Harm have come out on top this week, with their new album, The Nine (buy on iTunes), edging out Legacy of Disorder, who came in as a close second. The top five vote-getters were:
1. Harm – The Nine
2.Legacy of Disorder – Last Man Standing
3. ZZ Top – La Futura
4. Pantera – Original Album Series 5-CD collection
