Happy Friday! Anyone feel like Spring has hit early? Between a combination of massive and illustrious bands announcing summer tours - AC/DC, Pearl Jam, Mr. Bungle, Body Count, take your pick! - and the fact we've noticed the sun glaring just a little earlier than we'd become accustomed to in our wintery abodes, it really does feel like things are truly afoot in 2024 now.
Speaking of which, here's the results of last week's vote! We had a bumper week of additions last week covering everything from metalcore to black metal, sludge and beyond. Doom legends My Dying Bride took a very admirable third place with the haunting Thornwyck Hymn, while thrash legend Kerry King rose with his solo debut, Idle Hands. But while the legends took pole position, it was the next generation of metal that ultimately won, 12-year-old metal sensation Harper bringing home the gold with the utterly furious I Hope You Choke. With one fan dubbing her "the Metal Princess", we can't help but reckon they're onto something.
