X-CRASH REDAKTIONSPOLL 2023

Unser Jahresrückblick:

Auch für das vergangene Jahr wagen wir einen Rückblick auf unsere favorisierten Veröffentlichungen. Um es kurz zu machen: Die Newcomer von THE NIGHT ETERNAL sind unsere Favoriten im Jahr 2023. Die Ruhrpottler haben mit sieben Stimmen Knife und sogar Night Demon hinter sich gelassen, die jeweils sechs Stimmen bekamen. Gefolgt von den genialen Alben von KK’s Priest, Overkill und Sorcerer, die jeweils vier Punkte bekamen, und Eremit, Old, Destructor, Century, Diabolic Night, Obituary, Sulphur Aeon und Triumpher mir jeweils drei Punkten, während Girlschool, Alice Cooper, Iron Curtain, Firmament, Angelus Apatrida, Jag Panzer, Receiver, Smoulder, Blood Star, Cirith Ungol, Wings Of Steel, Crown Lands, Roadwolf und Endstille immerhin zweimal Erwähnung fanden. Wir wünschen euch für das neue Jahr viel Spaß mit neuen Veröffentlichungen und unsere X-CRASH Meinung dazu. Der Untergrund lebt! Alles Gute!
