Ak by sme mali zhodnotiť rok 2012 úplne okresane a zjednodušene slovom "dobrý" alebo "zlý", rozhodne bol dobrý. Už po jeho prvom kvartáli kdesi na našom fóre odznelo, že skvelých albumov vystačí už vtedy aspoň na top 10. Teraz sa to zdá byť úplne prirodzené a obyčajné, no dobre si pamätáme neplodné roky, v ktorých sme z tohto miesta rozjímali nad upadajúcou úrovňou našej a vašej obľúbenej hudby. Kde sú tie časy, keď album roka podľa Metalopolis nahrali PORTISHEAD? Pri všetkom obdive k PORTISHEAD, tie časy sú naštastie preč.

Trochu zvláštne však môže pôsobiť fakt, že miesto energickej omladiny sa u nás tento rok darilo skôr starým a skúseným. NEUROSIS aj MESHUGGAH sú okrem vlastnej zaslúžilej kariéry duchovnými otcami vlastných metalových odnoží bohatých na kvalitných tovarišov. Napriek tomu, že djentoví učni inšpirovaní druhými menovanými momentálne zažívajú svoje vrcholné obdobie, nás zjavne až tak neoslovili. Môže to byť tým, že MESHUGGAH sú skrátka až takí výnimoční. Ale pokojne to môže byť aj tým, že sme konzervatívni starí páprdovia. Isté je, že starcov máme v top dvadsaťpäťke až až. Myslíme tej albumovej, valhallovej.

Nás teší, že vo vlastných radoch sa darí aj našej vlastnej omladine. Po pár neúspešných pokusoch sa nám konečne podarilo naverbovať aj niekoľko nových redaktorov hodných niesť odkaz tohto webzinu ďalej. Hádam sa nám všetkým podarí v roku 2013 naplniť pár skromných kolektívnych plánov a udržať v prosperite našu značku. Stále veríme, je pre mnohých z vás výnimočnou zárukou nekompromisných, no o to úprimnejších a hádam aj zaujímavejších pohľadov na metalovú hudbu.
