Za rok 2008 vyhrali Valhallu PORTISHEAD a my sme napísali, že je to dôkaz stierania žánrových hraníc v zosieťovanom svete. Bola to pravda, no pohľad z čerstvého roku 2014 na vtedajší rebríček zároveň hovorí čosi o stave, v ktorom sa nachádzala vtedajšia metalová scéna. Vtedy sme si za album roka vybrali PORTISHEAD, pretože hoci sme metalový portál, metal nepovažujeme za žiadne protekčné decko, ktoré treba prifarbiť a postrčiť, ak je neúspešné.

Za album roku 2013 sme nezávislým a vopred nepredvídateľným vnútroredakčným hlasovaním vybrali “Push The Sky Away” od NICK CAVE AND THE BAD SEEDS. Druhýkrát v našej histórii teda nevyhral metalový album.

Sme skalopevne presvedčení, že tentoraz to nie je dôkaz žiadnej krízy metalového žánru. Rok 2013 bol pre tvrdú hudbu veľmi dobrý a úspešný a väčšina metalových zárezov z najlepšej dvadsaťpäťky budú určite pamätné a výnimočné albumy aj o päť rokov. Stačí si prebehnúť jednotlivé redaktorské rebríčky a ľahko prídete na širší kontext.

Nakoniec, u nás tento rok bodovali výnimoční NICK CAVE AND THE BAD SEEDS (v spomínanom roku 2008 boli u nás na 15. mieste), vo výročných rebríčkoch nemetalových médii Pitchfork či Spin sa zase výnimočne darilo sanfranciským blackmetalistom DEAFHEAVEN.

Prajeme vám a sebe tiež, aby ani v roku 2014 neprestal byť metal skvelý a úspešný.
