Rok se s rokem potkal, tudíž přichází čas na tradiční cvičení paměti. Většina redaktorů vysekala v ledu díru a z vodní hladiny sebrala odrazy toho, co je loni na hudebním poli ponejvíce zaujalo. Výsledky pro nás byly, mírně řečeno, překvapivé. Ačkoli velká část našeho návštěvnictva utrácela svou drahocenou životní energii žehráním na naše dupání po metalovém žánru, anketa jen zvoní a cinká. Zkrátka, ukázalo se v praxi, co to znamená mlčící většina. Proto letošní Valhallu asi nejvíce vystihuje pravidlo, že rýpavá menšina se může na hlavu stavět, může psát jako mourovatá, kritizovat, snižovat, ale METAL nikdy nezabijú, ten nikdy nezomrie, žije aj keď ho práve nechcú a nikto pred ním neutečie!
Dámy a pánové – METAL Valhalla 2007. Voilà...
