Trinásť rokov nášmu výročnému rebríčku dominovali zahraničné mená – a tak možno nebude prekvapením, že keď sa konečne na čelo dostali domáci reprezentanti, vyfúkli svetu rovno dve najcennejšie medaily. ČAD je domácim fenoménov už pekných pár rokov, no aktuálny album „Bastard“ je v pravom slova zmysle vrcholom. Dva kľúčové dôvody, prečo si zaslúži zlato: kvalita skladateľských a muzikantských výkonov je (rovnako ako produkcia a design) svetová – a to bez toho, aby slovenčina musela ustúpiť globálnej angličtine. „Bastard“ je sebavedomá (no nie pyšná) doska a skvelý exportný artikel.

INSANIA naopak na presahy za hranice zrejme neašpiruje. No v roku, ktorému dominovalo spojenie „fake news“ sa, ako kolega Shnoff poznamenal v recenzii, Poly opäť rozpísal do skvelej formy. „Na počátku byl spam“ je ironická a, ako jej titul naznačí, veľmi aktuálna nahrávka, ktorá sa zarýva hlbšie, než by sa po prvých pár vypočutiach mohlo zdať. Zbytok rebríčka prekvapí menej: premianti nám starnú, veď ani ČAD a INSANIA nepatria k žiadnym nováčikom.

Asi ťažko prekvapí opätovná účasť víťazov z predošlých rokov – od MASTODON, cez SATYRICON, PAIN OF SALVATION a ULVER až po chameleóna Stevena Wilsona. Nech sa aj v roku 2018 darí našim, vašim i tým najlepším zvonku!
