Uplynulých dvanásť víťazov nášho výročného rebríčka pochádzalo buď z anglofónnych krajín alebo z metalu zasľúbenej Škandinávie. Ročník trinásty na mapu víťazných krajín pripichol francúzsku vlajku. GOJIRA bola na našom redaktorskom radare každé štyri roky. No zatiaľčo v 2012 a 2008 to na top 25 nestačilo, ako Rudi predvídal už v augustovej recenzii na „Magma“, v roku uplynulom vyťala GOJIRA zárez podstatne výraznejší. Nahrávky pritom vydali z predošlých víťazov Valhally Steven Wilson, OPETH, NICK CAVE AND THE BAD SEEDS či NEUROSIS...

Zatiaľčo v metalovom svete sa prehadzovali pozície a dominovali kapely, ktoré chtiac-nechtiac patria medzi starú gardu (veď i GOJIRA tento rok oslavuje 15 rokov, KATATONIA dokonca 25!), hudobný priemysel ako taký sa vyrovnával so stratami. Umiestnenie Davida Bowieho a Leonarda Cohena v Top 25 nie je formálnym sňatím imaginárneho klobúka. Obaja umelci sa rozlúčili na vrchole, temnými, introspektívnymi, no silnými doskami; takou bolo i hudobné trúchlenie Nicka Cavea nad smrťou jeho syna.

Nech už pre vás, čitateľov, na rozhojdaných váhach roku 2016 prevažujú straty či zisky, v novom roku vám želáme čo najviac pozitívnych prekvapení!
