nuttinface's Top Picks for 2013

My buddy nuttinface is one of my oldest friends and we have shared a lot of music over the years long before this internet thing ever took off. He doesn't spend much time around here because as the years have gone by our tastes have diverged a little bit, but he was the one who turned me onto bands like Exhorder, Violence, Forbidden, Pro-Pain, Pissing Razors, Dry Kill Logic, All Shall Perish and too many others to even mention. I asked him to create a list for 2013 because I knew he would throw some bands out there that most of the people who frequent The Death Chamber probably don't listen to but you never know what you may like if you don't try it. So thanks for your list brother, maybe it will open some minds.

nuttinface's Top 15 In No Particular Order:

Butcher Babies - Goliath

The Beast Remade - Worship the Beast

Modern Day Babylon - Travelers

Feared - Furor Incarnatus & Vinter (both released in 2013)

After the Burial - Wolves Within

Hester Prynne - Black Heart Market
Ovid's Withering - Scryers of the Ibis
Preview

Impending Doom - Death Will Reign
http://youtu.be/wPAA-OJdh3Y

Murder Made God - Irreverence

Beckon the Dead - The Dead are Coming

Ebony Tears were an interesting band in that each of their releases had its own distinct sound, I am not saying that they were original by any means just that they altered their style with each release. Evil as Hell would be their final offering and it is colder and less melodic than the 2 previous albums but it still has it's moments.
